I'm not sure about best. I have a hard time comparing fighters from different weight classes and different eras. But Julio Cesar Chavez is my favorite and definitely one of the all-time greats.\n\nChavez wasn't at lightweight very long, but it would have been great to see him from '89 fighting a Roberto Duran from '78. That would have been an exciting fight - two guys free with their fists and with great chins. Personally, I think Chavez would have won by decision with his more refined subtle defense, but there's no way of knowing for sure.

Ric ~\n        What's up my Brother? No matter what Herenton brings to this bout, it won't be enough. The very last thing to go on a fighter is his punch. He can walk on his heels, he can talk with slurred speech and he might not be able to remember what day of the week it is, but believe me he can still punch. Nobody puts Ali on his seat that can not punch yesterday or 40 years ago, whatever they can punch.\n\n       Legendary fighter, Packy McFarland was retired from boxing for over thirty years he and his wife were walking home from St Pats Church in Joliet, Illinois when they were approached by three young men demanding money, Packy went into his wallet and gave them everything he had, but that wasn't enough the young men demanded his wife's wedding ring. Packy said "Boys, you picked the wrong bull today." and cleaned the street with the three of them breaking ones jaw and knocking the other two out until the Police arrived.\n\n     Joe is looking at the bout as a exhibition of sorts and if Willie thinks he's going to rough house old Joe, then Willie is in for a rude awakening and when he wakes up, I'm sure every one will tell him "How well he tried"\n\n    Thanks for the question Ric, it's great to have you back.

george chavalo are u serious...lol!! it was jimmy ellis who ali beat in a split decision and larry holmes who beat the s*** out of ali in 1978. It must be noted that ali was well past his prime and he shouldve retired after the thrilla in manilla. ali also lost to trevor berbick in 2 rounds. none of these people could even touch ali in his real prime....before he lost those three years in exile. ali wouldve destroyed them all

OH don't get me started.....Boxing needs to be "blown up" and rebuilt from scratch. There's little wonder why it continues to lose fan interest to sports like UFC, but that's another issue...\n\nThere are SEVENTEEN weight classes with 4 major sanctioning bodies, which means there could be as many 68 "champions" Totally ridiculous!\n\nThese need to be cut down to a more sensible number, similar to the eleven divisions that are contested in the Olympic Games and even this might need some refining, I'm not sure the Super Heavyweight class is really needed...\n\nSuper heavyweight 91+ kg (200+ lb) \nHeavyweight 91 kg (200 lb) \nLight heavyweight 81 kg (178 lb) \nMiddleweight 75 kg (165 lb) \nWelterweight 69 kg (152 lb) \nLight welterweight 64 kg (141 lb) \nLightweight 60 kg (132 lb) \nFeatherweight 57 kg (125 lb) \nBantamweight 54 kg (119 lb) \nFlyweight 51 kg (112 lb) \nLight flyweight 48 kg (106 lb)\n\nAnd finally, I'd like to see the sanctioning bodies be reduced from 4 to 2 and get rid of Don King!

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.

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

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

this just has to be the most question ever asked on this website.  in fact, i think it was the first question i asked when i first jumped on board.  i can't think of any other fight that would be bigger or more anticipated or higher grossing than this one, if it had ever happened...would've been the superfight of the millenium!  and, as much as i love tyson - those of you who know my history know about my tyson lovefest, ali would've smoked him, but good!  sorry mike, i think you would've smoked any other heavyweight in history, but ali would've just had too much skill, speed, underrated power, accuracy, acumen, angles, footwork, ring smarts/generalship, etc for you to handle!

Whoever's bigger and trains harder.  \nBut those being equal, I'd have to go with Kung Fu, just because a boxer is not used to gaurding low or blocking kicks of any kind.

Ali for sure. He was a more technical fighter. hes waste rocky. Im seeing three of em' mick! Hit the one in the middle Rock!

The best pound for pound boxer was Sugar Ray Robinson and a younger Muhammad Ali, both of which started before Sugar Ray Leonard, but I had to get my two cents in anyways. Note that Robinson often fought bigger and more muscled fighters because he was so good that he beat everybody in his class.

This is a highly subjective way to rate a boxer. Since Boxers have different weight classes, there is no direct way of comparing champions or great fighters at their respective classes. Since Pacquiao can't trade punches with Klitschko, Boxing analysts rely on statistics, opinions, gut, and preferences to rate boxers! \n\nFor example, Pac-man for me is the #1 P4P boxer since he had KO'd good and great fighters in a sensational and dominationg manner in his super-featherweight weightclass. He looks invincible that it seems to me that nobody in his weight could defeat him! \n\nBut hey, this is just my opinion!!! Some would argue that Floyd is still #1 but some would also agree!!!

Most boxing experts agree that it was Ali-Frazier III - The Thrilla in Manilla. Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had each won one of their previous two bouts, and the rubber match looked to determine once and for all who was best.\n\nThe all-out war lasted until the fourteenth round of their fifteen-round bout when Frazier's trainer Eddie Futch finally stopped the fight. It was The Ring magazine's 1975 fight of the year and is probably what solidified Muhammad Ali's title as the Greatest of All Time.
