Anybody else think Ali was the greatest boxer ever?

[stihl saws]

I do, and he was a really good guy too. I would have loved to see Ali in his prime against Iron Mike in his. RIP Muhammad.

Muhammed Ali,was the greatest of all time,Thank you sir for the great memories,R.I.P.

Hard to say he wasn't.

Just look at the list of guys he beat.
Not just talent and style either. He took George Foremans best shot and kept on coming.

My Dad and I would love to sit and watch his fights Back in the 60's and 70's on the Wide world of sports show. You know the one with Howard Cosell as the comentator. Both of us always liked a counterpuncher and a master of tactics. Ali was certain both.

He was just so darned fast. It was amazing too watch.

Ali was unique in that though he was a heavyweight (and a light one in his early career), he had the speed of a lightweight.

He was also the first athlete to self promote himself, unlike in the past when people came to see a fight they now came to see him. He broke the stereotype of the typical black athlete that was created by Jackie Robinson by being outspoken, not only about himself, but also society and politics.

He gave up his best years over the draft issue and was a Muslim that would welcome you into his home. What happened to the world?
