Who is the greatest boxer ever?

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

definetly Ali, when you say in their prime, Ali is the man.  We forget that the majority of Ali opponents were also up and coming and in their prime and Ali went straight thru them. Sonny liston, Rocky Marciano, Frazier, and the Beast George Foreman, who was Undefeated and every single fight he won up to that point was by KO. Ali was able to adjust to everyone style of boxing and he used speed mixed with grace and power to win his matches. Tyson if you recall, all of his opponents were hand picked, and the fighters he fought with the exception of Spinks were well passed their best years, experience and tough fighters still but was clearly had their best years behind him.  Tyson struggled when he was met with an opponent that had youth and power, with the exception of Buster Douglas and Holyfield who just plain flat out whooped Tyson, lewis was a Beast of all Beast, I would like to think Lennox versus Ali would be a better matchup\n\n\nI think Ali was more ring smart and Tyson was a bruiser. Sort of like Clubber lang if he would have fought Apollo Creed

I watched virtually no boxing for about 10 years, so can't offer an opinion about anyone since then, but to that point my choice is Larry Holmes. He was very much like Ali, though only more consistent. It is a shame he lost on his attempt to tie Marciano's record - and to someone about the same size and weight (Michael Spinks) to boot - though a very different type of fighter. Yet things like that happen. I have to believe that overall Holmes' competition was much more difficult.\n\nMost of the great fighters fought too long, so I basically ignore losses for some of them late in their career regarding this.

I would have to go with Hulk Hogan...look at his longevity.\n\nOther greats (at least in my opinion) include:\nStone Cold, Ric Flair, Brett Hart, Macho Man, and Kurt Angle...to name a few.

Teddy Atlas is the guy you're looking for. He wasn't a boxer himself very long due to a spinal injury, but he ended up working with Cus D'Amato and helping train Mike Tyson. The ESPN website has a brief bio on Atlas.

Great match up! Two all time greats. Arguello had that stand up style. He would get leverage by punching down at his opponents, as he was very tall for his weight class. Arguello also had heavy hands and could bang with the best of them. Duran in my opinion is one of the best ten boxers ever and an absolute animal, virtually unbeatable at lightweight. Duran would pressure Arguello as Pryor did. He would work Arguello's body, watch video of Duran while moving in he kept his upper body moving, making him hard to hit (a master at rolling with punches). As great as Arguello was I don't think he could deal with Duran's constant pressure. Duran wins by unanimous decision, due to his high work rate.

I've read about the boxers of Greece and alot of them were very good, they would wrap leather (himantes) over their knuckles as gloves. Theagenes is the greatest of all boxers in history, after his death he was worshiped as a demigod of fertility. 1300 fights in 22 years without losing.\n\n\nHere follows the career record of Theagenes, according to the inscription at the shrine of Thasos at Delphi:\n\nOlympic Games: 2 victories (1 boxing, 1 pankration)\nPythian Games: 3 boxing\nIsthmian Games: 9 boxing, 1 pankration\nNemean Games: 9 boxing\n1300 total victories\nUnbeaten at boxing for 22 years\n\n\nArchaeological evidence suggests boxing existed in North Africa as early as 4000 BC and had also developed in the Mediterranean by 1500 BC.

Although toney might be the best skilled hw boxer right now, and valuev may be the most physically imposing, i have to say my current favorite is lamon brewster. He has true heavyweight power (as evidenced by his comeback stoppage of klitchko and quick knock out of golota) and he clearly has a lot of heart (fighting sergei with a detached retina from round 1 and nearly pulling out a decision). The amazing thing is is even though he is an american heavy, he really has recieved very little pub and needed to win the fight he lost in part because of injury. Its pretty disappointing as he really could have launched if he won a few more fights consecutively.

The most recognized is Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine.\nhttp://www.klitschko.com/\n\nThere are different organizations in boxing that give out world championships. They're commonly called the alphabet organizations because many people think they're just silly with no unified champ. Klitschko is currently the IBF (International Boxing Federation) champ. Here are the others:\n\nNikolai Valuev - Russia - WBA (World Boxing Association)\nHasim Rahman - USA - WBC (World Boxing Council)\nSergei Lyakhovich - Belarus - WBO (World Boxing Organization)

He was the best and the most exciting at his time but more technical boxers would get him all the way. He probably knock out everyone except Ali.
