Mohammed Alli. ..... For the older generation

Misleading post.

Boxrec said BEST (Based on results).. not greatest (skill, force, outside the ring showmanship etc)

So whether you and I agree or not, it's irrelevant cos...

Results don't lie

Money may!!
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by Hajokexyz: 9:20am On Jun 02, 2020
Muhammad Ali still remains the greatest.

based on wins and losses yes!

Rocky Marciano had 0 losses and 0 draws and had an almost 90% KO record. Yet I don't see him there.

Yet, match fixer Mayweather is somehow there. And annoyingly no 1??

Make una dey fear God now

Any list where Cassius Clay a.k.a Muhammad Ali isn't the no.1 boxer of all time is a useless list.

I'm shocked beyond belief the list doesn't include Joe Frazier.

The Baddest Man on the Planet, the only boxer who throws punches in bunches, and the youngest heavy weight champion of all time Iron Mike Tyson is not even in the top 10.

The clowns that compiled this list are high on angel dust.


Completely foolish list.
List wey Ali no be number one, wey no get Frazier, Foreman, the three greatest to ever walk in, especially Ali. Ali fought every major contender from Liston to Patterson to Frazier to Foreman to shavers all in their prime

He didn't wait for them to become older and tired like a certain Mayweather

Useless list

Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Sugar Ray Robinson are the three greatest boxers of all time.

Please replace Joe frazier with Harry greb; the Pittsburgh windmill.

Then you're talking.

Then they somehow forgot Jack dempsey and Gene tuney (the fighting marine)

How come bernard hopkins and oscar dela hoya made it ahead of this guys

How come??

Yes sir,

You can call him the greatest. He never tasted defeat and fought all the best in his divisions.

Every other boxers in that list had tasted defeat.

So yes, he is the greatest

Why won't he taste no defeat when he fights men on the verge of retirement and a UFC fighter that calls himself a boxer.

Ali fought men, men in their prime that people were afraid to fight

Like Sonny Liston, Frazier, Shavers, Foreman. Check list of heavy hitters of all time, these names are in top 5. Ali fought all, all the best his generation had to offer at their prime.


This list is shitty. Check better lists Abeg

Joker! None of those boxers could beat him in his prime, prime Tyson knocked people out in the first round. Tyson in his prime was 1986-1991, he was the baddest mudafudger to ever walk the ring, this nigga didn't box, he killed!

Buster Douglas beat him senseless in his prime. I don't think anybody would say a 26 years old boxer isn't in his prime.


Tyson was good yes, but against bigger men who were not scared of him, who knew how to box properly and to use their reach advantage against him, he was schooled.
He tried sha being only 5'10. He was good but he wasn't even the best in his generation

and who exactly did he beat I see old washed up fighters. Many were scared before entering the ring. When he faced top notch opposition he has no answer


Thank you jare. He rode on the intimidation factor, but when his opponents weren't scared, it was only a matter of time his back kissed the mat

Larry Holmes was old ,a FORMER champion on a COMEBACK trail.

Question is why he never fought Lennox Lewis,Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, Oliver McCall in that period you mention

Why was he fighting Buster Douglas Jnr instead of Holyfield?
Tyson was good but he was also a cash cow for Don King used to scam the public. He avoided fights with key people of similar age to himself before going to prison


Tyson was even scared to fight an old George Foreman that just came back to test the waters. Lol

No Iron Mike
And Cassius Clay is not even top 3 behind someone that lost 9 matches....

Imagine, No Klitschko with 64, 4, 0

It shows the *credibility* of the list.

MrBrownJay1:
on paper, yes he is, but the reality is that, if Mike Tyson isnt on that list, then these people dont know what greatest fighter means.

forget their losses, MIKE TYSON is the greatest fighter that ever lived, no questions about it....followed closely by Ali.
what are you saying na go to YouTube watch tyson vs holyfield watch tyson vs Lennox.... D only person that was not included on that list and should be there is Vitaly Vladimirovich Klitschko
