I think that Muhammed Ali certainly created more interest in the sport of boxing than did any other boxer. I always enjoyed his "bragging ways" because I believed that he did so with a sense of humor. Even HE didn't believe the wonderful things he was saying about himself. And he was a great boxer!   :)

World's greatest heavyweights!

Muhammed Ali, Joe Louis are 1 and 2 on the list, but there are other lists that rank them otherwise.  I think it is truly a matter of opinion. 

Ali lives near me! I think he was a great boxer and him and his wife have given this area a lot of support! Sadly now he has poor health and I'm sure alot of it has to do with his career!   Blows to the head will haunt sports veterans forever!

George Foreman was a great heavy-weight champ AND a gentleman.

We have our local ex-boxer Vinny Paz, who came back from a broken neck to fight some more.  Tough, or stupid, you decide...

I'll vote for a little of each. I can't think of any amount of money that is worth dying for nor being permanently disabled.

Well I'll give our Henry a  mention , he was I think the only one to put Ali on the floor.
