Do you think Muhammed Ali will always be remembered as the greatest Boxer?

Cookie, he was the best heavyweight I have seen in 35 years more skilful than Tyson, Holmes, Lewis, but there have been other fighters at other weights who were just as sensational, like Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Barrera, de la Hoya. Tough call, my friend

No I think he may have been the most charismatic but not best boxer.  Actually he would probably get points deducted for some of his tactics nowadays. In my opinion you have to go with Rocky Marciano for being the only undefeated fighter, or possibly Joe Louis who tasted a defeat and came back and continued to fight way beyond his prime

Muhammed Ali, "the Greatest" fighter of all time. He actually brought tremendous interest back into boxing, something that's seriously lacking today.\n\nYou might have loved him or hated him, but you couldn't ignore him...

This is really hard because Ali was more of a finesse fighter and Tyson more of a power fighter.  If the fight lasted more then 3 rounds I think the odds shift to Ali’s corner. Not that Ali can’t take a punch or can’t dish it out, it’s just I never saw anyone with as much power as Tyson.

Ali, and here's why:\n\nYes, Tyson, hits hard, so did Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Joe Frasier Joe Foreman and Ernie Shavers. Tyson never had to fight heavyweights with the skills these fighters had\n\nAli was smart, could take a punch, stick, move counter punch and thoroughly frustrate an opponent, plus, he could out think them.\n\nThat's not to say that Tyson COULDN'T have beat Ali, after all, Ali WAS beaten in his prime by Fraiser and Norton, but he avenged those fights by beating the fighters that beat him...If Ali had "lost" to Tyson, he would have come back and figured out a way to beat him, just like he beat George Foreman in "The Rumble in the Jungle"\n\nMuhammad Ali - THE GREATEST

I didn't hear until just now. He was a great fighter and a great person, though. He's a part of boxing history, and I'm sure his memory will live on.

Good question.\n\nEach sport has it's Greatest performer. The standard changes with each decade.\n\nThere are many ways to measure Greatness in sports. Statistics is one, Consistency of performance is another.\n\nBabe Ruth is considered the greatest Base ball player of all time. \n\nMohammed Ali is considered one of the worlds greatest Boxers in the Ring...Ali was never knocked out.\n\n Sports Records are broken every year. So, the competition to excel keeps increasing.\n\nTiger Woods may be on his way to becoming the greatest winner of all time, both in Golf Matches won and his monetary rewards.\n\nThe Base ball and basket ball Hall of Frame takes the best players from each sport and asks the "Public" to vote for their admission to the Hall of Fame. It is very difficult to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame"....injuries to athletes is a great risk.

Doesn't matter...He'll always be a legend!!  I saw "8 Men Out".  That movie and others ("Field of Dreams") keep him legendary.  Hall of Fame or not...He'll never be forgotten.

Mike Tyson in his prime was a monster. With his power and skill combined, you'd think he was unbeatable. He knew how to bob and weave right under an opponent's punches and come back with vicious combos to the head and body.\n\nHowever, I don't think any heavyweight boxer ever could outbox Ali. Muhammad Ali knew how to use the ring and could use his reach advantage to keep Tyson at the perfect distance to land punches while avoiding being hit himself. Not that I don't think Ali couldn't take Tyson's punches, but those body shots would have worn him down a bit by the later rounds.\n\nOverall, I say an unanimous decision victory for Ali, though not a very impressive one.

Yes, he was brought up with boxing at a young age Cus D Amato, he lived ate it drank it slept it 24 hours a day,  and I think the guy who use to be a champion hand ball player had a huge stock of fight films which gave him an insight into all the great fighters.  His knowledge of boxing is very extensive. It's very rare for a fighter to have a good knowledge of ring history but he is one of them.

He'd still be the greatest but with less exposure. America's the biggest market in boxing.

i really don't know a name of the greatest fighter of all time but i know that the chinese didn't even think Bruce Lee was that good.  Anyway Muay Thai is the most advanced form of fighting in the world so whoever is considered the greatest in that form of fighting would get my vote.

I recently watched the ESPN Classic DVD of Mike Tyson's 19 highlight fights. Not including the last two fights, which was a foreshadowing of his 'fall from grace' outside the ring, this guy seemed like an invincible tank. Ali is one of the most graceful fighters, but I can't help but picture Tyson blocking most of Ali's jabs with his signature gloves-over-the-face defensive stance.. this combined with his swift outbursts of powerful punches would eventually connect and knock out Ali.
