Y Muhammad Ali is the greatest BOXER of all time

1. he was unbeatable, b4 the govnt stripped his title away
2. if he had a prime, this topic would not b needed
3. when he came out of his forced retirement in the 70's.....he was but a shadow of his former self and still the best HW in the golden era.

4.The greatest oppostion--is y hes the best overall boxer

he beat

sonny liston--made the indestuctable look bad--and won
frazier--won 2 of 3(a prime ali would have won by an easy ud)
foreman--made the indestuctable look bad--and won --gave 1st loss 2 foreman and only man to ko him!
norton
bonevana
patterson

this what i distinguish btween ali and robinson---robinson had some tough opposition but the fighters he beat are not as good--

5. ali has a 10+ chin
6. lighting fast punches
7. good defense

i think hes was the overall greatest --but it is just an opinion ;D

Hear hear and a CC 4 U

Greatest Of All Times!

he was one of the first sports figures to really think outside the box not only in the ring but in terms of his own marketing and publicity.

he wasnt a shadow of his former self and u also forget norton should of won 2 out of 3 i respect ali for what he done for the sport but patterson was past it aswell robinson beat greats theres so many good opponents he beat i dont wana go through them all because he had like 170 pro fights ali is excellent fighter but not greatest in my eyes but he is greatest for what he done for the sport in that aspect yes he is the greatest

well theres footage of ALI saying, "I'm the greatest HW of all time, but SRR now hes the greatest Pound for Pound of all time!"

i personally think ALI was the sport's GREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATEST of all time!

Willie Pep and Sugar Ray Robinson are the all-time best!

I respect Ali he's a great but he's not my #1...yall have every right to admire the guy I just have my all time greats and he's not #1
