    he's overrated by casuals who think he's the GOAT. But he is a top 5 atg and second best heavyweight AT THE LEAST (he's my #1) of all time

    What people dont realise is knockouts happen.


    Knockdowns happen. Its not a reflection of the fighter.


    Ali has the best heavyweight resume in history. Add to that the way he fought.


    Greatest heavyweight of all time. You cannot deny that, because he is. Wasnt a nice person, but a great entertainer none the less as well.

    He wouldn't make my top ten to be honest.


    Duran, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Chavez, Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray, Jake La Motta, Joe Lewis, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis, Marciano, Mike Tyson, Bhop etc etc

    That's just 0ff the top of my head without really thinking about it.

    Joe Lewis ahead of ali?


    You have shown yourself up there. Alis resume is miles better than lewis. Ali beat Frazier as well.

    You have not seen any of them fight.

    Just because you are a sheep and can't think for yourself.

    Most of his fights are really boring to watch to be honest.

    Only **** here is you.

    For HW's, he is indeed the GOAT.

    For every division, hell no!

    Greb/Langford/Armstrong/Robinson all have resumes country miles ahead of Ali's.

    Yeah...We have.

    Then again, we've all seen Tyson-McBride and Tyson-Williams, Lewis-Rahman I and Lews-McCall I, and Marciano getting schooled for 12 rounds against ancient JJW before landing a lucky punch in 13.We've also seen Louis getting put on his ass by the likes of Galento and Buddy Baer and sparked out by a smaller, older Max Schmeling. We've seen Vitali quit against Byrd because he was missing too damned much; and Wlad sparked by an aging, semi-pro golfer.

    Guess everyone listed is overrated, too, eh?

    Joe Louis not Lewis, have you heard of him ?

    Ali got decked by Joe Frazier and lost his unbeaten record to Joe Frazier, Ali never ever had Joe on the deck. Frazier wanted to carry on in manilla, Ali wanted to quit, Fraziers corner pulled him out before Dundee did.

    Etc etc etc

    Have you watched any of their fights ?

    Over rated as **** yes kneegrow

    Lost at least 15 times, if you score his fights fairly and not corruptly.

    Was an absolute loud mouth who was an average HW champion compared to other era's, a small HW by todays standards, and fought on until he turned out to be...you can see what he is now, lets not spell it out

    That is the real ALI. The greatest of all bull.
