Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
Ali beat 7 future HOF fighters, he was also in FOTY 3x.
AND.
He is the only Heavyweight to win the liniar Heavyweight championship 3x, those contenders Holyfield and Lewis won token paper versions, Ali won the legit ring liniar belt 3x.
Just a thought.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
Holyfield comes the closest. He was 2x WORLD CHAMPION and his third reign is arguable a legitimate, as he unified two alphabet titles(beating Tyson and Moorer) but he failed to gain the linear championship as he lost to Lennox Lewis (who beat Briggs who beat Foreman who beat Moorer who beat Holyfield)Originally Posted by Markusdarkus
Come to think of it, it is no where near as accomplished as Ali's list but Holyfield holds victories over Bowe, Tyson, Foreman, Holmes, Mercer, Moorer, Rachman, Douglas and a draw against Lewis. Not to shabby.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
Yes, Gatti had 4.
Ruelas
Robinson I
Ward I
Ward III
I believe Barrera was only in 2 FOTY, for Morales I and III.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
The only one that is a record is the 3-time linear HW champ.
Sam Langford beat 10 Hall of Famers (not including Jack Blackburn), as did Sugar Ray Robinson.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
If you're talking about Ring magazines fight of the year, Ali won it 6 times.
1963 vs Doug Jones
1964 vs Sonny Liston (was there really nothing better that year?)
1971 vs Joe Frazier
1974 vs George Foreman
1975 vs Joe Frazier
1978 vs Leon Spinks (serious WTF there)
Carmen Basillio won it 5 times, 5 years straight.
Joe Frazier and Arturo Gatti are on 4, and Micky Ward, Rocky Marciano and Rocky Graziano have 3 wins.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
I always thought Ali winning the title 3 times was always a bit...hyped,i guess would be the right word.....
Im mean losing to and then beating "Neon Leon" to win it back....Not the greatest story ever...
All the other records though...what a legend.

Cleaning the greatest era of heavyweights out twice 10yrs apart is not hype.

Re: Ali holds three records that will never be beat that most did not know
I never said it was...Im just saying losing to Neon Leon and then winning in the re-match to win the championship the 3rd time isnt the amazing story it's made out to be,Considering Leons circumstances...Getting blitzed and not being able to handle the fame such and such.
Cleaning the greatest era of heavyweights out twice 10yrs apart is not hype.
Everything else though..Obviusly amazing.
