I would've substitute Patterson for Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey should probably be on the list too. I voted for Ali by the way. ------------- It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. |

It's hard to say... Because Ali missed 3 precious years of his prime because his boxing license was suspended until the court had reached an decision for him declining the military service in that time..
Ali has beaten the greatest names out there, sonny liston, george foreman, joe frazier etc. etc.
Even tho I love Mike Tyson, I really think Ali could beat anyone he wanted to even if both fighters would face each other in their prime. ------------- |

Tuna u cannot b serious. Ali was the best imo but its difficult to judge because of the era and rules. Remember tho Ali fought and beat bigger, stronger guys just like iron mike. Cept in Ali's time the top 10 was meaningful, most of the boxers at the time have made it into Boxing's Hall of Fame. And considering that there were only 2 organisations, less weight classifications, less science/tech about training and diet and longer bouts (15 rounds) I would say Ali's achievements outweigh those of Tyson's. Ali, in his prime, always found a way. Actually like Venom said his prime years were spent in suspension due to 'tax evasion' or draught dodging. tyson was a great if limited fighter. ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

it's funny that you say that 30-50 years ago there were way better boxers than mike tyson. there is an interview were Ali says that Mike Tyson was the greatest boxer who ever lived. he even said he was scared of him lol. you can watch it on YOUTUBE
while you're at it, watch the dozens of matches were tyson knocked the sh it out of the best boxers in the world when he was only 19-20 years old. that's the tyson i'm talking about. not the tyson who was washed up and trying to get back in the game when he bit that guys ear.
Ali was good, but he is definitely not the greatest boxer who ever lived. top ten probably, maybe even top 5. ------------- The sun was high and so was I - Best Coast psn: HardhatTuna XBL: Tuna is QnL |

ppl like Berbick, Spinks and Tyrell Biggs? They hardly measure up to Foreman, Frazier and Holmes. Tyson was a sweet fighter dont get me wrong. Great hand speed and agility, he had a tight defence that allowed him to get up close and was able to deliver brutal hooks and upper cuts with great precision. He was fearless, hit him and he grinned a real psycho, old skool style dress and mentality that seem to beat opponents before he threw a punch - he was 'truly awesome'. But he fought in an era when the division was in decline. Ali might have said that about Tyson but believe me if they ever met he would have said the opposite. His words would have beaten Tyson, who wasn't equipped to handle a smart boxer. His talent, style and adaptability in the ring (something Tyson never had, he was well drilled) makes him a clear winner imo. Come on, most ppl only remember James Buster Douglas and Holyfield as fighters on Tysons record. A fight with a heavyweight of true quality, like Ridd*** Bowe would have stretched him. ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

You should do politics or something.. You would get my vote!
And yah about that interview.. they were just messing around.. they were both being modest.
I have to say it's a shame tho about tyson, because I'm a big fan of him as well. After his trainer died, things went bad for him, you could clearly see the lust, the "eye of the tiger" if you will, drained from him.
If you watch Ali the movie or When We Were Kings, you understand why Ali is the greatest. ------------- |

Lol...tnx mate, I'm very political but no radical in real life 2. I am a fan of Tyson too, no denying Iron Mike's pure boxing talents. Cus D'amato (chk spelling) did a lot for him and when he died Tyson couldn't be controlled BUT he was naive and many people manipulated him. He was fearless and had a raw aggression that other fighters could smell. Tyson I suspect would have fought for nothing but glory and violence. The career fighters he met were in it for money mainly. If you watch Ali's fights and analyse his career post 60s u see hungry men like Tyson - generally hard cases. Below these guys were seasoned vets like Ernie Shavers, a young Larry Holmes and Leon Spinks. Tyson wouldnt have been out of his depth with them but would he beat Holmes or Foreman? I doubt it. great but limited, easily frustrated, ill-disciplined thats Tyson. Ali? say what u like but he was smart, courageous, adaptable and immensely talented - he always had a plan. Im glad 2 see so many boxing fans here tho. You should do Manny vs Mayweather next! Or greatest middle weight of all - but dont ask me  ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

What!!! No Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis and Riddi c k Bowe!? These three boxers deserve to be in that poll. As for the best Heavyweight fighter of all-time, it hard to choose. Muhammad Ali had speed & ring smart. He also fought very competitive foes in his career (Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, etc). Rocky Marciano was the first Heavyweight fighter ever to go 49 -0, yet his opponents wasn't a real challenge. Mike Tyson was the youngest Heavyweight fighter to earn a title belt at age 20 due to knocking his opponents out in round 1 - 4. His speed, agility & power was like no other. If you look at his KO's percentage, he have the best one (44 out of 50 KO's). Also, he had good opponents (the only one I can think of is Holyfield). Joe Louis was is the only fighter (so far) to defend 25 title fights. The man work very hard and took boxing real serious. From my opinion, it's either Mike Tyson or Joe Louis. Im sorry but Muhammad Ali isn't the Greatest of All Time. -------------  |

You guys have to rethink. Muhammad Ali played as a very smart fighter. He wore out the fighters he was against, and then knocked them out. I do think Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson would be the fight for the ages, though. ------------- XBL=GeNovaZ PC=NovazZ |

Yah and plus, I have never seen any other fighter being able to take that many hits and keep going and still have strenght and agility to knock his opponent out. The fights vs. George Foreman and Joe Frazier are prime examples of that. ------------- |

Just who did Iron Mike actually beat? When it counted he didnt have the mental resolve to stay the course. Any of my top 10 could have beaten him.
Yes Tyson was not as hungry when he returned to boxing but that didnt seem to be a problem for Ali, Louis, Marciano, Patterson or Lewis. Marciano would have chewed Tyson up, Louis would have been too skillful for him, Holmes too. Ali too smart, Lewis too cute and too much reach. Foreman too powerful, Patterson would have known what was coming after all Cus D'mato was his manager too so no walk over there. Fraizer would have been made for Tyson but he had a bull's heart. Johnson might have upset Tyson with his style and natural height/reach advantage.

edit: you can't really say anything about someone having more "reach" or "height" than mike tyson since he was knocking people out who were way taller than him. ------------- The sun was high and so was I - Best Coast psn: HardhatTuna XBL: Tuna is QnL |

I love it when you talk dirty and tell it how it is!
Ali quote;
"You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick. I’m so mean, I make medicine sick." But my top 3 will remain as 1. Ali 2. Foreman 3. Mikey. Because those 3 had the most impact on me with their fights.
The fight in africa was pure epic... the fight looked like a movie. And the way he knocked Foreman down was beautiful. He could have thrown another few punches to make sure he stayd down, but in that glorifying moment he just kept looking him in the eyes while he spiraled down to the floor.
Also I can see why people would vote for Mike Tyson, Al these great fighters like Ali, Foreman, Joe etc. etc. were champions and had their glory way before most of us were even born.
Most of us witnessed Tysons glory in our childhood times when we were alive.
I used to think Tyson was the best to, until my friend showed me what fighters like Ali did and the evidence is overwhelming, to deny that Ali is the greatest is pretty gay.. he predicted the round you went down.
Ow and btw, George Foreman destroyed punching bags with gloves + the ones that didn´t got destroyed he left a crater in as the size of half a watermelon.
Now how's that for power?
And Ali was able to take all those power hits from Foreman in his prime while Ali was way over his.
I can guarantee that Ali & George Foreman Grill would beat Tyson. I would put all my money on it. ------------- |

It's not a clixhe if its true, I looked fairly to both mikey and ali in a neutral way, and I concluded that Ali is better. Sure even I think Mike Tyson has definitely a good chance of knocking ali and foreman down, but the odds are much greater that mikey would be the one going down. ------------- |

Ali had the highest caliber of competition in the history of heavyweight boxing. Tyson had mostly low caliber competition. Ali was way too skillful and savvy to lose to a dope like Tyson. Heck, even Evander Holyfield put a beating on Tyson and we all know what Tyson had to resort to in that one. ------------- It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. |

Evander Holyfield is a fn beast. He reminds me of a black Sagat from Street Fighter with a mustache.
+1
 But I wouldn't downgrade Tyson. Allot of people seem to either love him or hate him. You need to properly recognise his skills. He's an amazing fighter.. and if his trainer wouldn't have died I might say he could have won the fight vs. Holyfield. ------------- |

The ring magazine is a red/white/blue belt which describes as the real champion. Basically whoever has the ring magazine belt is the linear champion. No matter how many alphabet belts you got such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBA, etc, your not the real champion without the ring magazine belt. Other boxers have title belts for being a top fighter and make career high paychecks, but ring magazine is the truth belt which overcome all belts. ------------- |

Not necessary. There are some weight divisions who doesn't have the ring mazagine. The ring mazagine is usually vacant. Now, there are real champions even though they don't have the ring mazagine. The top contenders or known as the best fighters in that division with WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF belts the real champs. In the boxing industry, it's corrupted. There are too many belts. The main belt I know by far is ring mazagine. Like I said before, the ring mazagine shows that your the linear champion in that division. Since the ring mazagine isn't popular for some reason, they use alphabet belts to determine who the champion. It could be 4 champions in one division. Does that sound right? Not to me. Boxing needs to go back in their roots when there use to had one championship belt: Ring Mazagine. ------------- |

i didn't know you said it ive just heard it before. Marciano would take a hell of a beating then knock his opponent out. he hit there arms until they couldn't hold them up anymore then he would go for there head. he was one tough son of a biaaaatch. ------------- sHoCkD_Yo_aSs is a novice bot |

Greatest Ever: Muhammad Ali Fight that I have always wanted to see: Mike Tyson Vs. Lennox Lewis in both their primes.

much as I hate to say it I think Tyson would have won unless Lennox boxed him from behind his fearsome jab and tied him up. Tyson was a freak combining speed, power, craft and precision all channelled to perfection - and he was menacing too. When he beat Tyrell Biggs he could have finished him in the 2-3rd round but he smiled to the camera and said Biggs was screaming like a girl when he landed hooks to the body and he was enjoying himself!!! And I would have paid to see Lewis Vs Ridd**k Bowe - a real grudge match with Bowe losing by TKO in the later rounds. @Marciano - he fought 2 greats Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles but yes both were long past their sell by dates. Like Tyson tho Rocky was fearless and punched like he had dynamite in his hands. He was also a dirty fighter - yea just like Iron Mike! He may not have been undefeated in any other era but imo he still would have been a champ - he was a force of nature.

Rocky Marciano fought Joe Louis at Joe's end of his career (his last fight). It's just like saying Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali end of Ali's career. Same thing as Joe Calzaghe fought Roy Jones Jr. end of Roy's career. Fighting people that already past their prime consider waste of my time. Usually, younger fighters always beat old fighters; Well, except for Bernard Hopkins. ------------- |
