| Who was the Better Boxer, Joe Frazier or Muhammad Ali They had three bouts together. Ali won two of them, but he never knocked down Frazier to win them. Fraizer won one of them, but he knocked Ali to the ground. So vote, and decide "THE CHAMPION"

| You all call him Clay. He pounded people for calling him that. I wasn't alive back then, but was that what people used to call him instead of Ali, his adopted name?

| Yes... I was never into the whole Ali thing, as he used his conversion to escape the draft, a chickensh!t thing to do....

| Clay was a better boxer than Frazier but there were better boxers than Clay in the history of boxing. For instance Ray Robinson, probably Joe Louis, Gene Tunney. |

| That argument in and of itself is a tough one.... The best way to compare boxers is to take them at their peak... Mike Tyson at his peak would have destroyed anyone who entered that ring... Then he woulda eaten them...

| Joe Louis never fought someone as ferocious and full of angst as Tyson in his Prime... He wouldnt know how to fight him...

The only fighter who was close to Tyson from that era (40s-50s) was Jake LaMotta, but he wasn't a heavyweight. LaMotta also did a "rope a dope" then came out and mauled his opponents...

| Out of these Ali in my opinion. But Ali has nothing on the Klitschko brothers!
