    There has never been a heavy weight ,( before or after) that had the all around skillset of Ali in his prime.In that one fight , he displayed skills that I have yet to see in any heavy weight, and that includes Lenox, Tyson, Wvlad and Vladimir. Yall musta forgot. Check that **** out.

    Wrong forum for this.

    In the general, Pac and/or Mayweather are the greatest fighters ever, and all topics will evolve to a discussion of one or both.

    As for heavyweight talk, only Lewis or Vitali hate is acceptable.

    ...and it's not even a prime Ali. He looks unreal against Terrell.

    Ali was a phenomenal fighter. I don't think there'll ever be a heavyweight boxer who is as skilled as he was. Incredible talent.

    First comeback fight after 3 years off.

    Unreal against Terrell and Big Cat Williams.

    Wow, he was fast. He moved like a LW. They only come once in a lifetime. Like Bruce Lee, Jordan, etc.

    As good as Ali was, that dancing was mostly just showboating. Ali would have evaded the same punches, and landed the same punches, with half that movement. Compare this with RJJ or Floyd, who both used their excellent movement primarily for tactical advantages. Very different.

    Still, the Ali shuffle was fun to watch, and Ali (while young) had the stamina to pull it off, so why not?
