The fact he could dance around the ring for 15 rounds - weighing 16 stone - is nothing short of superhuman, thats just one reason why Ali is the greatest. Joe Louis - Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Robinson are great in their own right but Ali had many class credentials to put him the greatest athlete in history.
Most experts believe Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of all time, he had far more title defenses than any 2 of the above champions combined.
With that said; the greatest in your list is Muhammad Ali.
He beat the better opposition, he had far more title defenses as undisputed champion than Tyson & Marciano combined, he did everything better.
Ali, by miles. Marciano and especially Tyson don't compare. Joe Louis and Larry Holmes are greater than both. It is Ali, Louis then Holmes. The three greatest heavyweights of all time.
Ali > Rocky > Tyson
The best heavyweight champion of all time is Joe Louis
My wife says Marciano and I say Ali.........I think I am not gettin any slice of pizza tonight. She's mad!
Ali, he was a great boxewr as well as a puncher.
No brainer on this one---Ali! Ali! Ali!
There's no denying that these three were probably the best heavy weight boxing champions of all time but who is the best of the best
