Not a shocker at all. I didn't see him fight, but I know that many, many people felt that, pound for pound, he was the best ever.

Surprised me I guess because I have seen some of Ali's fights (thank god for espn classic) that I find it hard to put anyone else above him.

"Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin 'bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That's their one, that's their one. Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano. Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't ____."

Sorry, just had to pull that quote out. lol

To answer your question Z, no it was not Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano wasn't even in the top 10

Sugar Ray Robinson...Marciano didn't even make the top 10 (thats a shame)

For anyone who is a fan of Coming to America with Eddie Murphy.

Everytime we bring up boxing a white man gotta mention Rocky Marciano. What Rocky Marciano ever do? The old white man goes he beat Joe Louis ass!

Sorry if I am the only one who find that funny but I laugh every time I see it

Got to be Ali. Don't get me wrong, Robinson was great and is deserving of the #1 spot, but I think Ali's skill and athleticism in the ring as well as what he meant to the world outside it should put him at #1. Not to mention he lost a few years of what would have been the prime of his career to jail over the Draft issue.

Oh yeah..."Joe Lewis always lied about his age. One time, Frank Sinatra came in here and sat down on this chair. I said, 'Frank, you always hanging out with Joe Lewis. Just between me and you, how old is he?' You know what Frank said? 'Joe Lewis is 137 yeas old.' 137 years old!"
