True heavyweights as p4p number 1 fighters of their time?

I'll never understand the hype Muhammad Ali, gets sure he fought the best opposition. But he was a loud mouthed racist, who constantly disrespected his opponents. And he should have atleast 10 losses on his record, the GOAT above Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Robinson ? give me a break.

I could guess the loses you are refering to but all fighters have close fights that end controversy.

I cant think of any top fighter that has not had what is known as a home town/house fighter/popular champ decision.


Just a point I want to make if SSR was so great why did he he duck Charles Buerly?

No argument on any Decision Jones won. Considering everyone else SSR fought and the number of rematches and people he fought in general - I think he can get a pass for ducking.

Well i don't know all the details regarding SRR ducking Charles Burley, just rumors really no solid facts. But as for Muhammad Ali's controversial wins, put it this way if he would of lost 2 out of 3 against Ken Norton. Got a draw against Doug Jones and lost against Jimmy Young, Earnie Shavers.

Would people still have him so high in the P4P rankings ? because IMO he for certain lost to Young, Shavers, 2 out of 3 with Norton, and got a lucky draw against Doug Jones.
