I think Ali was The Greatest , but I would also go to say that all the top 1-5 in each weightclass in that era would wipe the floor with todays boxers , they took more pride in their craft , they trained harder , they did not duck one another and make excuses on how the other guy does not want to fight or the money was not enough they just fought that was boxing , its hard to stomach some of the crap I see today , Oh well I guess we can always hope the boxing game will change for the better .

difficulty right here arises that no longer of the incredibly greats by way of time fought against one yet another. occasion Tyson and Marciano by no capability fought. for his activities character, and in simple terms cokiness i will circulate with Ali, he talked the controversy and walked the stroll and grew to become right into a solid determine for boxing, because of the fact of this he's be conscious of because it in such incredibly some places. even nonetheless for because of no capability say die and proper boxing/battling and for the only heavyweight with an unbeaten checklist then in accordance to me it shoud circulate to Marciano. So for all your questions, Marciano remained unbeaten and acording to a learn finished by way of desktops could have overwhelmed ali, nonetheless you cant continually have faith that. Liston grew to become into feared yet Foreman had the largest punch of his day as Lewis had recently, Ali lost some fights (5) nut maximum got here on the top of his profession, yet while the army tale did no longer ensue he could have by no capability lost or retired in the previous, and ultimately Ali beat foreman and foreman went directly to lose 5

The greatest fighter of my generation (I'm 30) was Roy Jones, Jr. (but only before his move up to heavyweight a few years ago). He was fast, powerful and dominant. His only loss leading up the the second Tarver fight was due to a disqualification for hitting the other guy when he went down to one knee (he later knocked that guy out in the 1st round of their rematch). He beat B-Hop and Toney and plowed through the middleweight division for a decade.
I would say the greatest of all time was Joe Louis, who ruled the heavyweight division for 11 years.
The best fighter right now has to be Floyd Mayweather, but he will lose my respect if he doesn't face Margarito, Sugar Shane and De La Hoya in his next few fights. A lot of fighters (*cough*Julio Cesar Chavez*cough*) padded their records for years with cupcake fights before stepping up the competition. I hope Mayweather faces the best of the best before retiring so we can be sure of his greatness.
