Is Ali the HW GOAT?

Who is now on the best run in heavyweight boxing outside of Usyk, and is holding a belt.

If you don't get it, don't watch.

 

Because Usyk gave him the belt, even after the ibf gave him an extension for Fury. Parker is mandatory just like Dubois. I won't be rewatching, Dubois is just another belt warmer who doesn't stack up historically

 

A coin toss between him and Louis, but yeah, he's one of the GOATs.

 

I think so, though I'd consider a case for Joe Louis for sure.

 

Usyk is much higher on the general goat list. At HW, his size and CW record is irrelevant. He has beaten Fury and AJ, and remains unbeaten, but you can imagine him having problems with quite a few HWs in history.

 

Lennox Lewis beats Usyk.

As for whether Lewis would win in a head-to-head matchup against Ali, that’s something I'll leave for others to judge. However, there's one thing. I don’t think Ali would have done better, or outperformed Lewis statistically, had he competed in the same era against the same opposition. Lewis was the best in the ‘90s and early ‘00s, particularly when it came to facing bigger heavyweights.

 

80s Tyson an late 80s early 90s Holyfield would have beaten Lewis. Prime Holmes I think would’ve beaten Lewis too
