    Saw a great thread by another poster, but he /she forgot the most important thing. A Poll.

    Read his/her arguments regarding Ali, wanted to make an Official Poll to hear what you guys think.

    :patsch I voted he was top 3, but I don't think he was the GOAT.
    Plus I didn't make that thread, someone else did. I'm just the POLL Maker.

    You felt Ali was the best HW ever?

    Name 10 Fights of Ali's that you felt he delivered big in.

    Do it. I'm just curious how many people knew Ali, I can name 10 fights for Lewis and the exactly sequences of those fights because he's my favorite boxer.

    So many people say Ali was the GOAT, can they even name 10 of his fights in which they watched?

    I feel Ali was a Top 3 ATG HW. But there is a massive amount of people out there that think he's the

    1-GOAT HW

    and even
    2-THE GOAT OVERALL Boxer.

    Most of those guys would be considered bums if they were around today, look at Shavers' shocking record for instance.

    Your post is Ali's overratedness in motion.

    Got it, according to your logic, when rating a past fighter you must take into consideration whether or not they could stand with the guys nowadays.

    If thats the case, then SRR is a bum.

    GTFO. Name a heavyweight with a better resume.

    According to the logic of Ali fanboys, Ali would have beaten everyone from today in one round, so yes, the comparison with today's fighters is evident.

    This is why he is overrated, as he would clearly not just walk through everyone, he was just another fighter, a good one, yes, but he was not unbeatable and he was not God, and his IS massively overrated.
