who is the greatest boxer dead or ALIVE?

Jack Johnson was a great boxer. Ali is overrated. He is just a popular guy world wide.\n\nPretty boy Floyd may be the best ever when it is said and done!\n\nFelix Tito Trinidad is my favorite though.  Always a man even in defeat!

Yeah Deadman is going to be victorious this time. \nThe Great Khali, REST IN PEACE.

The best "boxer" is Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather, Undefeated and already attained the status of champion in 4 different weight classes, more to come stay tuned. I assumed you meant the "world" as in guys that are still fighting and still alive. If that was wrong, my apologies.\n\nIce Ice (let me guess Your Vote for Greatest Rap Artist Ever would go to Vanilla??) \n\nThe question states "the world's best" which should lead one to believe a fighter who is currently fighting. But then you get critical and say PBF doesn't match up to the greats like Sanchez, Leonard, Chavez etc The question isn't asking for comparison to legends. \n\nNow here is the tricky part why do you compare PBF to legends from boxing history, then turn around and pick PacMan. Do you mean to say that PacMan is on par with all those guys you mentioned?? It sure looks that way to me. PacMan is one of my favorites but not that great. I noticed that all you do is go around trying to put others opinions down. But its only a sign of your own inability to give props to your choices or your opinions that leads you to chastise others who don't share your views. \n\nAn opinion is unique to each person, it can't be judged as "right" or "wrong". If I asked, What's the best tasting ice cream? I'd get 100s of answers but none are wrong BUT, ALL ARE RIGHT to that person.

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

Yup, great fighter. I remember him from the '84 Olympics. I saw him fight (and lose to) Tommy Hearns at Caesars Palace for the WBA Light Heavyweight Title in '91...He should have hung 'em up after losing to Michalczewski and Jones Jr. in succession, cause all he ended up doing was moving up to Cruiserweight and fighting a bunch of stiffs...

Holy crap... never thought anyone would ever talk about Lennox Lewis... I, too am a fan of Lennox and think that in his prime, he would make the current crop of heavyweights look ridiculous (well, most of the heavyweights out there do a pretty good job of making themselves look ridiculous)... however, he was commentating a recent fight (Mayweather vs. Judah) and I thought age had caught up with him pretty quickly... I have no doubt he could win a belt or two, but I would rather he stay retired so I can remember him as the dominate champion of his time... as far as a rematch with Klitschko, that would mean he would have to give up his political dreams to come back to fight... although Lennox got as good as he gave during that fight, I was proud of him as most observers questioned his heart and chin during his career. He answered a lot of questions concerning both during that bout.

Bernard Hopkins just proved he is an ALL TIME Great...\n\nJermain Taylor might be the next BHOP and\n\nEvander Holyfield is one of the Top 3 Fighters of all TIME>...Read his book by his Manager Jim Thomas..great insight to a REAL WARRIOR!!

He also defeated the great Azumah Nelson among some other very good fighters.  He was a great fighter and despite his untimely death will still go down in boxing history as an all time great.

I think Ali was The Greatest , but I would also go to say that all the top 1-5 in each weightclass in that era would wipe the floor with todays boxers , they took more pride in their craft , they trained harder , they did not duck one another and make excuses on how the other guy does not want to fight or the money was not enough they just fought that was boxing , its hard to stomach some of the crap I see today , Oh well I guess we can always hope the boxing game will change for the better .

# 1 - Mike Tyson, hands down. Mike, would most likely still be kicking *** if  he could keep is head on straight.\n\n Holmes, Holyfield toss-up for # 2

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.
