Who is your BOAT?

Mike Tyson

 

I's between Roberto Duran and Ray Robinson.

 

Imo to be considered a best fighter they have to have been in a war and persevered through a loss, Holyfield, Frazier, Patterson, Robinson, the fact that Patterson wanted a third go at Liston, Frazier getting in the ring with Foreman for a second time after the beating he took

Taking athletic ability and skill into account, probably Patterson or Holyfield, and of course Robinson avenging LaMotta with the Wilson fight in-between all in less than a month, actually yeah it's gotta be Robinson

 

SRL

 

Roy Jones Jr.

 

Best I've seen as well, I'd probably add Greb if there was film

 

Wow this is really difficult to answer! There are several Fighters that come to mind, but maybe I'll go with Willie Pep. The contrast of such elegant movement with absolute Beast intentions truly fascinates me. Willie doesn't get enough recognition for being such a Savage competitor, I believe. If he were somehow able to have incredible power along with his Speed and Agility, he would have murdered people in the ring.

He was like a ruthless, brutal ballerina.

OK? Chinchecking is so 2011. But anyway, now that we're on a good subject. Roy Jones Jr. is the BOAT (a fun term coined by Tony Ferguson that you have ripped off here).

 

Getting back to the topic, I consider SRR the BOAT & Greb the GOAT, which is why I rank them #1 & 2 (interchangeably) all-time.

Everyone else falls short of either of these categories.

 

My choice is MUHAMMED ALI !! People forget Ali was banned from boxing for 3 1/2 years for purely political reasons 3 1/2 years of his prime. just imagine what he could have achieved during that time, plus his lightening fast skills wouldn't have eroded the way they did then. No one has come close, although Ray Robinson came very close
