Was Muhammad Ali really the best

[SweetPea]

1. Joe Louis
2. Rocky Marciano
3. Muhamed Ali

I'm sorry that's ridiculous to rank Marciano over Ali. He had I think 7 title defenses and none of them were anything stellar. That's absurd Lyle and I love Rocky Marciano. Ali more or less dominated the best era in heavyweight history I would have him as my top heavyweight but have no problems with Louis being regarded as the greatest.

Agree 100% amat. Ali would have run circles around Marciano. Marciano was a great champ but people get mesmerized by the fact he had 0 losses, and forget that his era wasn't nearly as competitive as Ali's era.

To answer the thread question.... yes, Ali was really the best.
