joe louis could never beat 60's ali--im sorry--no disrespect to louis--but ali would toy around w/him. if people wanna put louis as #1 hw--thats fine--i just put ali as #1 because he had the best opposition. beating 2 indestrucable fighters from 2 different era's, not only did he beat liston and foreman, but he made them look bad and amateurish. i cant c louis beating either. i put louis as #2 in my top ten--he was a great but not the greatest
