Ali was by all means the most colorful (personality wise) boxer ever to enter the ring. He's who got me into following boxing when I was a little kid, in those respects I'd DEFINITELY call him "the greatest".
Knowing what I know now of the sport? I could probably name a dozen fighters better than him (record, style, or otherwise). BUT Ali will always be known as "the Greatest".
Be you? Doubtful, dude!

He was only the greatest for HIS TIME!
If you account for how well trained todays boxers are, if he were to have fought now he would've just been a mediocore fighter. Where as when he did fight, every one that he was fighting against in his weight class was a just stand there and punch kind of fighter. Where as he was one of the first in the Heavyweight division to fight like a lightweight. Bouncing around the ring and being able to either wear his opponents out by them chasing him or being able to absorb body punches so they would be punched out and not able to raise their hands after just a few rounds, (AKA The Rope a Dope, made famous in the fight against George Forman) .
But no, he is not the greatest fighter of all time. The greatest fighter of all time was Joe Lewis, i don't care what the record or anything else says for an arguement. All around, Lewis was the greatest fighter to ever step into the ring.
