You bring up good points Ice cold. I would not call him overrated, but I can't say he'd be my #1. If I had one gripe about Ali, it would have been for him to be more serious at times. I think he overlooked alot of guys, and we all know how much in love with himself he was, therefore he didn't care. After the long layoff, and then losing to Joe, and, his mobility not what it was in the 60s. For him to come back and KO Foreman, and beat Joe twice, makes a very loud statement. Not many boxers have been in that type of scenario. But, Tyson couldn't do it, and he's ranked top ten heavies of all time.

Allthough, I might not choose him as #1, I can say that I wouldn't bet money against the man.
