Greatest Heavyweight of All-Time, Final: Muhammed Ali vs. George Foreman

First to 20 votes

Ali again.

Yea i think Ali aswell because Ali had the speed in his prime and Foreman did always struggle with movers Tommy Morrison, Jimmy Younng, ect.

Ali beat him past his own prime. If Ali was in top form, the fight would’ve been easier to deal with.

I hink a prime Ali wouldn’t use the rope-a-dope strategy, he would think he’d need it. Foreman by KO in 4.

ali wins

Ali all the way for me, if a past his peak Ali could beat a peak George, you got to believe the peak version may have done better.. :beerchug:

Ali…but I still don’t think he’s the “greatest of all time”…in boxing that title should belong to Joe Louis and in music a tie between Elvis and James Brown

Lets not forget Ali had his peak years taken away from him, as he had no problem with no Viet Cong, and to still be talked about as the poss greatest speakes massive about how good the guy was. :badass:

This is almost unfair because Ali beat George already when Foreman was prime…

Really it’s the best BOXER vs the best SLUGGER…IMO Joe Louis was the happy medium between the two and is therefore THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

I sort of agree but Louis’s opposition wern’t that great i think it was probably worse than Holmes opposition in his reign im not taking anything away from Louis but you know Lyle Louis reign wern’t filled with greats but to be fair to Louis he didn’t duck anyone and you can only beat the guys in front of you.

I hope to God your joking about Tommy Morrison being a “mover” lol ;D

Had to say Foreman. Ive always thought he’d crush Ali if they had a rematch

Can we combine the smarts of the 45 year old Foreman with the body of the 25 year old version? If so, I gotta pick ol’ George by late stoppage.

[/quote] Sorry my mistake i should of made it cleaer what im saying is Morrison didn’t stand in front of Foreman he constantly stayed on outside thats what i mean by mover meaning thats type of style that troubles Foreman and thats what Morrison done in that fight moving all the time it was pretty boring fight aswell.

Ali

After reading quite a few of your posts you seem to have great knowledge of fighter’s that’s why the ‘mover’ comment shocked me a little :wink:
Your spot on about Morrison during the Foreman fight he boxed great that night.

That’s also why I rate Marciano highly as well.

Joe Louis did what he did so easily and it sort of makes everyone forget that he did fight some good boxers: Max Baer, Max Schmelling, Joe Walcott, Billy Conn, Jim Braddock, Jimmy Bivins, Jack Sharkey…that’s not too shabby right there.

Joe fought often and he fought consistently and he holds actual records…Ali does not.

As I said before this match between Ali and Foreman pits the best BOXER vs the best SLUGGER…on talent alone I am more amazed by Foreman, not to say Ali didn’t do amazing things.

Ali wins and is the greatest heavyweight and Joe Louis is second. Holmes third?
