    who had it all?

    which boxer had both the p4p skills and the h2h record to back it up. who had the mix of unbeatability and the crowd pleasing style. who had to overcome adversity and prevail. who left the greatest legacy. who was the greatest of all time.

    no active boxers allowed.

    for me it is 1 man, clay/ali.

    in his prime i dont think there is 1 person who would be favoured against him.

    Why? He was a great boxer in the ring but i dont think he had the most to deal with. No way.

    Maybe not favored, but I give a Prime Frazier a good chance to beat him.

    Your reasoning then should have Joe Calzaghe as g.o.a.t.

    I look at the way he dismantled prime liston. people dont always favour robinson against other fighters, but i would always favour ali

    Prime Roy Jones, SRR. The fighter you are probably looking for here is the one who looks the closest to actually being unbeatable in their prime. Prime Roy could shut out a guy, embarass him, knockout him out at any point. Same with SRR. Also the fighter must have NO weaknesses or his weakness if slight cannot be exploited by any known fighter all time.

    Liston and Frazier are too totally different fighters though.
