    Over rated IMO. His charisma and great characther gets mistaken for his boxing greatness.

    Heavy Greatness

    1 - Lennox teh Lion Lewis
    2 - Big George Foreman
    3- Ali

    So yeah he kinda a bit overrated IMO cos he cheated to beat Foreman with poison drink And loose-ropes so I count fight as W for Foreman as Ali should of been DQ'd for cheating

    Well Ali was more past prime, but Duran was above his best weight. I do think the Leonard win is better than the Foreman win, principly because Foreman was a dangerous puncher, but Leonard an under-rated puncher and a wonderfully rounded technician and rates higher P4P than Foreman as a fighter in ability.

    I rate him as the greatest Heavyweight ever and #8 P4P of all time.

    His resume at Heavyweight is beyond compare and his boxing skills are superb.

    I agree with Ali. He was the greatest HW, but SRR was the best P4P. And, I am an unapologetic Ali nuthugger, so if I see his name in connection with the term "over rated," I'm gonna bust your balls for it:hey

    This pisses me off to be honest... and that’s totally biased.

    Ali is. And always will be. THE GREATEST.


    Ok, maybe not the 'best' boxer ever, because that’s a matter of opinion. Because obviously no one can win all their fights against every other fighter, as some greats a different eras and weights etc. He may not be in some peoples opinion the 'best'.

    But without a shadow of a doubt Ali is the greatest boxer ever.

    The 40-50 people who think he is ‘over-rated’ are ridiculously misinformed or are ****ing inconsiderate idiots…and that’s unbiased.
