    IMO Top 3 is wierd, the top 2 are baiscally concrete Louis and Ali are basically the top 2 hw of all time, whether you like it or not

    other then that after the top 2 the 3rd is where opinion comes into play, some common thirds are foreman,frazier,etc, i'd probably put Marciano,Frazier,or Foreman, its all a matter of preference

    this the most common top 3
    1)Louis or Ali
    2)Ali or Louis
    3)Frazier or Foreman, Sometimes Marciano

    Marciano's usually 5th or 6th, guys like holmes make appearances around 8, tyson's usually around 7, Dempsey's usually in the later ones too

    just an obervation

        definetely! if an old ali beat a prime foreman, then imagine what a young ali would do.

          Probably worse. The dancing style was not as effective with time. Foreman actually trained to fight Ali by practicing in sparring how to cut off the ring and pin Ali down. Foreman went into Zaire expecting to fight a dancing master, instead he got a punching bag with brains!

          Although my top 3 will always be;

          1. Ali
          2. Louis
          3. Foreman

          Foreman fought Ali in 1974 and expected to win and win easily. Nobody fought a prime Ali and expected an easy win so I think Foreman would do much better both mentally and physically against a young Ali. If it were in a cooler climate also Foreman would do better. I still think a young Ali would win but by UD rather than KO.

            i still think 1967 ali would have danced circles around foreman.

              Possibly, but wouldn't have KO'd him.

                he still would have, cause ali would have been throwing more punches than in '74.

                  and you call me Delusional

                  as much as i love Ali but he would never beat George with dancing. George would cut him off and start trowing bombs at him... plus the so called prime version of Ali appered to have a weaker chin.

                  But I know i cant change your mind...so we can agree to disagree ok?

                    i didn't say it would be easy, but ali would still dance and out point him.

                    and when did prime ali have a weak chin?

                      not "weak" chin "weaker"...he still had a good chin but when Cooper almost knocked him out what do you think Foreman would do?
