Was talking to an old timer the other day, and we discussed for quite a while what we thought were Ali ten best wins....and it differed quite alot so thought what does everyone else think are his best wins- 1. G. Foreman Wkor8 1974 2. S. Liston Wkor6 1964 3. J. Frazier III Wkor14 1975 4. S. Liston Wkor1 1965 5. K. Norton II WUD12 1973 6. J. Frazier II WUD12 1974 7. C.Williams Wkor3 1966 8. E. Shavers WUD12 1976 9. Z. Folley Wkor7 1967 10. F. Patterson Wkor12 1965
1. S. Liston 1 2. Foreman 3. S. Liston 2 4. J. Frazier III 5. K. Norton II 6. Henry Cooper 1 7. J. Frazier II 8. C.Williams 9. Henry Cooper 2 10. Floyd Patterson
Cleveland Williams was a shell. Aesthetically pleasing punch perfect performance, but not all that as a win. Ireland, I rate the Bonavena win highly. Only man to stop Ringo, sweet left hook in the last round.
My top ten best wins of the greatest of all times: 1. Wepner - Inspired a four-hundred trillion dollar film franchise and the greatest sports picture of all times. 2. Jimmy Young - Became one of only dozens of men to limit Young's punch-output enough to take a decision over the most cautious master of all times. 3. Cleveland Williams - Looks amazing over a man who is rumoured to be seven tenths bionic. Obliterating the most bionic man of all times. 4. George Chuvalo - Went to war with the greatest chin of all times. 5. George Chuvalo x2 - Went to war a second time with the greatest chin of all times, like a boss. 6. Defeated Earnie Shavers having to rely on much more toughness than Quarry did in stopping him early, proving his durability over the greatest puncher of all times. 7. Brian London - proved the greatest speed of all times over a man from a family with a surname representing one of the greatest cities of all times. 8. Marciano - Winning the most important released version of the greatest simulation of boxing between two era's ATG's of all times and taking Marciano's 0, and toupee. 9. Liston II - Destroyed Liston like no one ever did, including Martin, with the greatest most controversial and difficult to throw punch of all times. 10. Bugner.
Nice shout out, not sure if he was better than guys like Lyle or Shavers though. One thing though is Ali had the best win resume over any other heavy in history. Question is who was second behind him...real difficult to pick.
Nobody mentioned spinks II. At alis age coming off the loss and becoming the first 3 time world champion over an undefeated Olympic medalist. A great win in my books
