Ali is the greatest ever heavyweight champions hands down.
He is one of the greatest ever sportsmen ever.
He has given so much to the sport of boxing.
Hate him all you want he has done amazing things.

Hey 'Gorilla' we're here in 'Manila'.

Like what. How many 'Boxing Schools' has he opened for young kids.

Yes, he was a 'Third-Rate' magician, and even a worse husband {Married 5-times}.
How about them 'Apples'.

Who was the greatest in your opinion?
Exacto Mundo 'Imp',
Guess who coined himself 'The Greatest'.
In 'all' cases, it is the voice {an opinion} of others to call somebody great.
Re: "Ali hate"..... what's the point??
I think Ali is #1 because his skills were top notch and I think he beat the best competition of all time. I don't see how Joe Louis was any more skilled than Ali and he certainly never beat the caliber of opponent Ali did.
I think Ali is overrated as a person though. People talk about him like he was a hero to dodge the war... but the fact was he only ever spoke out against the war when he was FORCED to join the service or go to jail. When he was safe and deemed "unfit" for service, he didn't stand up against the war for those who were being sent over. So I think his actions were much more self serving than consensus believes.
He was a great personality but he was also a jerk, easily manipulated and used as a puppet by the N.O.I.

Louis was vulnerable to a boxer ask Billy Conn. Ali was bigger and better than Conn.
Holmes had a great jab but that would not be enough to beat Ali.

Clay was never the best , I fail to see how anyone can like a yellow bellied coward.

"Cassius Clay was either a 'chicken' or a 'Fruit Cake'. When we went on the USO Tour to
visit the Troops on the Air-Base in Guam, Cassius said he was 'afraid' to fly."
"Does that sound 'brave' to you."
"Just look at my 'ass'. Cassius could have been looking at that 'Cream Puff' for 3-Weeks."
