Nope, not everyone...Ali is 3rd.
Who was better?
Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano. No it's not because Joe was in the Army and supported his country and no it's not because Rocky was white.

Joe 25 successful title defenses and looked BRILLIANT in those defenses too!
Rocky 49-0-0 and like Julio Cesar Chavez could win coming from behind via KO.

Ali is considered #1 because he fought and beat other big names that everyone recognizes and because he was a BLATANT self promoter...I'm the greatest, I must be the greatest...Pardon me for asking but isn't humility a part of islam? I mean his wife couldn't dress in western clothes but he could yell and hoot and holler like an idiot. Don't get me wrong he had skill but get a grip guys he's not THE GREATEST

Could Snipes jab? Could Shavers? Foreman wasn't bothered by Norton's jab, why would Holmes' bother him? All George needed was one shot and if...I mean WHEN he hurt Larry it would be all over no one survived once Foreman hurt them
Norton's jab wasn't even in the same league as Holmes, Snipes was'nt a very good boxer and Shavers did'nt know what a jab was, Holmes was a crafty boxer/puncher and Foreman would have to hurt Holmes first, and a prime Holmes were talking about against a prime Foreman who tired after 4 rds, and Holmes had a very good chin.
