Joe Louis has to be up there
Marciano for his unbeaten record deserves a mention
Marcel Cerdan 117 fights 113 wins (Died aged 33)
Archie Moore (went from middle all the way up to heavy)

Best ever Floyd

Greatest ever Ali

Sugar Ray Robinson is arguably the best ever alongside Ali. No one else comes close.

"Best ever Floyd"

Nah.

SRR is the best ever followed by Ali and SRL,

sugar ray Robinson is easily the best, and in fact most pro boxers will say so themselves (I even think Ali has acknowledged as much)

SRL would also be up there but only if you look at him when he was at his best, not after his 500th comeback.

its always an interesting debate this one, however the key is looking at a fighter in his prime, Holyfield is a perfect example, in his day he was great, however that washed up old fool who kidnapped him and appears in the ring now using his name is a joke.

tyson at his prime was the greatest

^ Tyson never reached his 'prime' as such.

He was ruined whilst still maturing as a boxer. He may well have gone on to be the best ever.
