Who do you think is the greatest heavy weight prize fighter in history.

Rock vs Clay

In terms of longevity, George Foreman. In terms of the guy that beat the guy that had the best shot at best of all time, Evander Holyfield. In terms of the guy that had the best shot at best of all time, Mike Tyson. That's fairly muddy, so we'll reach back into the collective consciousness of our imaginations. The greatest Heavyweight Champion of all time would have to be the winner of the Rocky Marciano/Muhammad Ali bout.

best bareknuckle vs best gloved

There's a lot of history in boxing that should be explored when comparing eras. Could Jack Johnson beat Muhammad Ali? Would Ali crush Mike Tyson?

Ok im sure im gonna get railed for this one but here it goes,in his time iron mike tyson was hands down the best there was.
If anyone has watched undisputed truth then please watch it.
It was great hearing iron mike talk about his failures and accomplishments.

How the hell has no one mentioned Joe Louis yet? He was one of the best boxers of all time, probably one of the top three heavyweights of all time. I believe Ali was the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. He had abnormal punching speed and athleticism for his division, and a granite chin. Tyson could have been the greatest, but he got complacent after becoming the youngest heavyweight champion, and let it all slip.

If you're talking, knockout fighters and or toe to toe, probably would have to say Mike Tyson. If you're talking about skill I would have to say someone like Mohammed Ali.
