^^def amongst the best ever heavyweights without doubt but not the best. Personally I think in terms of the heavyweight division, iin boxing circles ali is considered the best heavyweight ever. Even not just in boxing circles and outside, he is a figure of huge respect even amongst casual fans. There is a reason why he is called the greatest and thats not just dude said it. People are still saying it today years and years after. He was not just someone who poeple ignored once he finished.

Speaking of ali however, some people tend to hate on him due to him changing his name, religion, being black etc but if you just look at dudes career, what he achieved, against who and how he did what he did, the best without question in my opinion in the heavyweight divison. Some will tell you his overrated because of how much respect he has earned over the years but with greatness comes a lot of hate too. He has a great record too in terms of who he had fights with.

Johnson, louis, marciano and ali, legends of the heavyweights...theres way more too obviously, but just mentioning a few!

And OJ is bigger than Football. That doesn't make him the better than Jim Brown.

He had a lot of wins over names that were past their prime.

Yeah, but no losses. And no only knocked down twice in his career by the Champ he took the belt from and in his final bout.


There's really no way of knowing who was better from different eras. Even in the same eras, with all the fixed fights, you'll never know. Was Marciano a better boxer than Ali based on technical ability and measurable skills? No. But could he have beaten Ali with a KO punch? Yes.
