Greatest boxer of all time?

[splashpot]

With the Rocky VI trailer and this new boxing video game I've been playiing, I wonder who is considered the greatest boxer of all time. Let OOT decide.

Since I don't know many old time boxers, I copied this poll from another site.

I voted for Ali but I am young and just started watchign boxing...you would probably get better discusssion in the sporting events forum though.

You left out Jack Johnson. A bit of a pointless poll without him.

Some of those listed are ridiculous, in particular Tyson and Carter.

[Clarkmeister]

Man, this one's never been done before!

[splashpot]

I said I copied the poll. If someone was left out, you'll have to mention them.

Edit: I searched. Found nothing.

So you expect some sort of scientific, and accurate poll results coming from a forum whose median age is probably 21, yet you list boxers who were not even alive when most of us were born.

Brilliant.

Wow, you people are stupid. Where did I say anything about scientific. Are you suggesting that no one could ever have an opinion on the greatest athelete in a sport? I bet you wouldn't say this if I asked about basketball or football. Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean I assume everyone else is.

Also, Tyson isn't that far from the top according to some some websites I've read. Whether they were credible sites, I have no idea.

I'll take Fedor against any of them.

Make a greatest baseball player poll, or football player poll and I will call you stupid as well.

People are myopic, of course the most recent "great" athletes would win any of these polls.
