    Agree..and "crazy" just sums up Michael after reading Teddy Atlas's book---his biggest failing ,like so many in the game,was himself and self doubts.

    I am going for Antonio Tarver who I felt was robbed in that 1st fight against RJJ in 2003,who sadly has gone past his peak and should have quit after the last rumble with Tarver.

    The only thing to beat Charles was A L S over time I believe no Fighter did.

    He was actually beaten 25 times and KOd 7 but I know what you mean most of them came towards the end and there was no shame in losing to Rocky and Jersey Joe, in fact I think he beat Joe twice and got beat back off him twice not to mention beating the legendary (but aged) Joe Louis.

    I don't know a lot about his illness ALS but from what I can gather he was in a similar (but worse) state to Ali. I hate to see things like this happen to people like that. I mean they are such powerful men and then they get these horrible diseases and they turn into a shell of that one time phenomenon.

    Im pretty sure He was Diagnosed with the Desease Before the Rocky Fight in fact a bit before.He died at 53 very young. If you check A L S youll think How the Fuck could He Fight.

    He went through a bad patch losing to Bivens and Marshall getting knocked down 8 times with Bivens And Marshall koing Him plus having him down 8 times Both great fighters. I remember Marshall coming over to England and KOd Freddie Mills in 1 . Yet after that He went on a run beating the pair of them , a Fighting Man no doubt.

    Roy Jones was the greatest super middle we have ever seen he was a great light heavy but not the greatest.

    At his prime, a focused RJJ outshines all.

    I voted other... can't believe Ezzard Charles isn't listed. He was the greatest at 175 IMO!
