I feel I have good reasoning to put Ali 3rd, and it's not like he's waaaaaaay down the list but choosing ONE GUY to be #1 it's more difficult if you truly factor in the accomplishments of all the fighters rather than just being some mindless zombie and saying "ALI IS THE GREATEST, HE HAS MOVIES MADE ABOUT HIM, HE DIDN'T GO TO VIETNAM, HE IS THE BEST EVER WITHOUT QUESTION, EVEN ALI SAYS HE'S THE GREATEST IT'S PART OF HIS NICKNAME, ALI HAS NO EQUALS"....Ali does indeed have equals......but Mike Tyson ain't one of them.
Neither is Marciano, sorry
