Who is the best heavyweight of all time?

Ali first and Louis close second.

The real debate is who is 3rd greatest.

Head to head I would agree that at his very best Lewis beats everyone in boxing history.

 

The answer lies in Louis, Marciano, and Ali. Others might argue Dempsey or Lewis, but the three aforementioned fighters are the ones to choose from. Lewis? He was koed cold twice, seriously, he can not be considered. The Klits are the clits of modern boxing.

 

1st coming of Mike Tyson H2H > all (since it was brought up let's not forget what Tyson did to Holmes :yep)

But since that's not an option Lennox takes the cake.

 

Something what is often overlooked is Ali's chin and bravery.combine that with his footwork,speed for a HW ,footwork ,jab and ring intelligence,what a fighter he was.

 

Where is James J. Jefferies?

 

The Klitschko's championship reigns have dominated boxing like no others before them. Vitali or Wlad take your pick.

 

no one picked one of them.

even you didn't mhuaha..

 

H2H I'd pick Lewis over all of them. Too big. Too skilled.

 

Cruiserweight Joe beat Ali?

 

The Tyson that lost heart in many of his fights? Tyson was a cracking fighter for sure and is still the most complete 20 year old heavyweight I have seen, but his reign wasn't that great. He was out toughed by Holyfield. Tyson is top 10 at a push, and Lewis is one fighter on the list he MAY beat!

 

So cos George says it that makes it right? Lewis was one shot kayoed by journeymen! He scraped by Holyfield and Mercer! Even the Ali of the Foreman fight would have schooled and broken Lewis, a classic front runner. Holmes was better, too. Much better all round skills and stamina, heart advantages too.
