Heavyweight: Muhammad Ali hands down.
Runner UP: Joe Luis and Evander Holyfield (sorry my favorite Fighter)
Light Heavyweight: Michael Sphinx, Ruled the deepest ERA of light heavyweight and was undefeated in this weight. Defeated another Great Heavyweight has the claim to be the only man to man to win both the LHW and HW champinship but best remembered as the guy who got Obliterated by a Prime Tyson (so sad)

The greatest champ and greatest fighter of all time is Sugar Ray Robinson. Welterweight champ for 5 years, no one wanted to fight him,5 times middleweight champ, was ahead on all cards in the Lt Heavy match with Maxim, was 175-19-6, in 25 years of boxing, no one will ever match this

The greatest champ in my opinion is Sugar Ray Robinson. He was welterweight champion and middleweight champ 5 times beating such great fighters as Carmen Basillio, Jake LaMotta, Gene Fullmer, Bobo Olson among his 175 wins in his brilliant career. A close second goes to Joe Louis who was heavyweight champion for nearly 12 years.

Joe Louis Is the Greatest!!! Not Muhammad Ali. Did Ali hold the title for 12 years straight???? NO!! Louis held the title for 12 years straight then he retired. He came back 4 years later due to IRS problems and was definitely not in his prime and lost to Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marciano. But he lost 3 times. Ali lost 5. Ali, Tyson, whoever, wouldn't touch the Brown Bomber (r.i.p.) if he was around during their era.

Mike Tyson in his prime was awesome and the best for me.
Mohammed Ali is the great sportsman and statesman, but in a fight in their prime Mike would wipe the floor with Ali, I'm a huge fan of both but if Ali tried to cover up on the ropes like the "Russian Tank" trick he did against Foreman, Tyson would break every rib in his body.

Certainly not Cassius Clay! Why do so many people believe his shameless boasts about being "The Greatest"? Nat Fleischer, publisher of "The Ring" mag, said that Jack Johson was the best heavyweight under Marquess of Queensberry rules. In a book, a poll of experts named Jim Jeffries best, Jack Johnson second best and Cassius Clay tenth. Mike Tyson might push Clay down to 11th or 12th in a new edition of the book. I go along with experts, not naive people in this matter and all others.

So many to choose from, and at his absolute peak I think Tyson may have had too much power and stamina for for Ali (Foreman lost because he ran out of gas!)
Hagler for his dominance and power, Duran for longevity and skill, Oscar De La Hoya - beaten all comers...
I really wish I could have seen some of the older fighters people mention on here...the one thing that taints the reputation of the fighters of the past is the massive influence of the mob...everyone knows they controlled much of the fight game for a long time...so did we get real contests? Which ones were fixed?

Greatest heavyweight - Rocky Marciano
Middleweight- this is between two Sugar ray Robinson & Harry Greb(When greb died they discovered throught his fights he was blind in one eye meaning he was actually fighting with one eye)
Featherweight-Henry Armstrong(Homicidal hank)
