RE: ADSactly Sports - The Greatest Players of All-Time - Who is the G.O.A.T? (Part 2)
Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all times because he fought wars in a more competitive era...he fought the best, and he beat the best. His record would have been far more impressive if it weren't for him being suspended 3 years for not participating in the Vietnam War. It's just too bad he didn't know when to retire. In his prime, Trevor Berbick or Larry Holmes wouldn't have had a chance. Tyson doesn't belong on this list. Losses to Holyfield 2x and Lennox Lewis were all horrible...he couldn't beat anyone relevant. A matter of fact, replace Tyson with Evander Holyfield. I'm not a fan of his, but he is a warrior...4x champion. Last, somehow, you have to put Manny Pacquiao in that top 10 because the man has 8 division world titles. You cannot ignore that.
That is the great part about this debate. There are so many reasons for different fighters to be on or off the list and how do you compare a featherweight to a heavyweight?
