    1)Resume (only in 60s)
    2)H2H (best form shown in 60s)
    3)Skills (at their best in 60s)
    4)Dominance within decade

    It has to be Ali though of course early '50s/late amateur Liston would wipe the floor with all of them

    i made this because i want to say ali but there are reasons that frazier and liston are knocking on that door...in terms of dominance, frazier might edge that

    I think Ali rates highest in all 4 categories. Clearly has the best competition defeated, clearly looks the best of the group, and outside of the early, experience-gaining battle with Jones, he hardly ever gave up rounds in the whole decade.

    It's definitely Ali. You have to understand that his fights with Liston were not remotely close.

    Oh...it's advanced. I thought it was just going to be a picture of Moreno and then it just changed on me. Most of the fancy, changin' types are pretty obvious right away, see? I was impressed, is all I'm saying.

    Anyone that votes for anyone other than Muhammad Ali is at the wind-up or a complete ****** & I don`t care who you are or what stories you think you have to tell.

    Liston's amateur career was from 1911 through 1914. FYI.
