please log in to view this image " I am the greatest", usual slogan of Mohammad Ali "Rumble in The Jungle" was one of his great fight.
I would say Ali but it can depend. Mayweather is a fantastic boxer and in with a shout even if not the most appearling style.
My Dad [love him, miss him] boxed in the Forces and loved the sport. He claimed The Brown Bomber - Joe Louis was the best - better than Ali - so I'm voting him ........... please log in to view this image
Do we need some stats here, I think we need some stats - Joe Louis - 72 fights, 3 losses, 57 KO's. Mike Tyson - 58 fights, 6 losses, 44 KO's. Ali - 61 fights, 5 losses, 37 KO's.
I don't think Marciano was ever beaten (not checked). Many years ago, they staged a computer-generated fight between him and Ali. Marciano won.. He was a beast as well
I bet if you did a computer-generated fight of Ali vs Foreman, Foreman would win. But the reality with Ali was often different.
for me greatness is such a word. mayweather is not great. he is awesomely skilled and fast but he's got no power and is a grinder on points. Dull in other words ali took 3 titles in a time when titles were rarer no and had the defining fights when there were such a thing. he started the hype thing. Mayweather can never has one as the hype makes all the fights now seem wwe. sugar ray fought at many different weight levels i understand.
computer models cannot model fighters ****ing with each other mentally. Ali got into other's heads. He was a great showman too
I was born in 1981 and certainly wasn't able to judge boxing upon birth Ali, Sugar Ray, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Hagler and Frazer were all before my time. Only Mayweather and Pacquaio are of my time really. Tyson was a bit of both but i was too young to appreciate his younger better days.
