Joe Louis.Ali was the greatest heavyweight BOXER ever.
E V E R.
Anyone who argues otherwise simply doesn't understand the game, or can't get past the personality.
Ali brought just enough to the bout to win. He was often boring, clutching, pawing, clowning. When the round was coming to an end, he would throw a flurry of punches to take the round.
They said Liston would kill him....he humiliated Liston
They said Foreman would kill him....Ali played with him and knocked him out
Throw in real wars against Frazier and Ken Norton and you have a resume no other Heavyweight could match. Who did Dempsey defeat? Who did Louis defeat? Who did Marciano defeat?
And Larry Holmes destroyed an aged Ali....It didn't make him an all time great fighter
The best fighter Marciano defeated was Jersey Joe Walcott....hardly one of the most feared fighters of all time
