Right. Muhammad Ali is the best boxer ever, not Mayweather. Castillo and Maidaina beat Floyd in the first bouts. Floyd couldn’t even beat old Oscar De La Hoya. Ali beat monsters like Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier and George Foreman without being in his prime... We never saw a prime Muhammad Ali as he lost his 3.5 best years when he was stripped of his title. Convicted murderers were allowed to work but Ali wasn't. Ali regained his title by beating big George Foreman and it took SEVEN years to regain his Championship belt that was taken from him. Ali gave up the greatest sports title in the world and millons of dollars to stand up for what he believed in. At that time, he was just coming into his prime. When Ali came back, his legs were gone and his hands were slower. Every boxing pro knew it and that is why Ali had to come up with the rope a dope. In his prime Ali was unbeatable because no one could catch him. Watch Ali vs Brian London. It was a 3 round fight and Ali threw 12 punches in 3.5 seconds. By the way, 2 hours after this fight was over, everyone with Ali was celebrating while Ali was showing a poor African child magic tricks. Ali was the best athlete inside the ring but he was a great human being outside the ring too. That is why he is the greatest athlete of all time.
Don't forget Earl "The GOAT" Manigault He was called the Greatest of All Time while playing and it was his freaking Nickname in the 50s and 60s already

Ali is the goat of goat. Been the greatest athletics doesn't mean about how you change the game. Is about the positive impact you had for humanity and the world.
Yea like Wayne Gretzky who holds the record for most regular season goals, assists, points, hat tricks etc. A guy that won the Stanley cup 4 times and changed the NHL forever. A guy that was not only dominant on the ice but was also incredibly involved in the community. Definitely deserved a top 5

Ali was the greatest athlete this country has ever produced , it’s not that he was the champ every single year of his career, it’s what he meant to all of the sports world in his day and for all the days after on top of his winning .
I suggest for people who are not familiar with Ali to go watch SpringHill's "What's My Name: Muhammad Ali." I think Jordan had more memorable moments in his sport. But Ali had done more meaningful things for his own race.
Ali is and always will be #1, from what he did in his sport to what he did for African-Americans, and his faith, I love that man for everything, LEGEND and will be remembered in history forever
Stephen A was still an adolescent when Ali fought in the Thrilla In Manila. Max was too young to remember it. But it shows how much respect Gen Xers have for him. I'll watch random Ali fights on RUclips at night sometimes.
I really have no problem with Ali at #1. My mom isn't into boxing except when Pacquiao fights. She was very invested watching LeBron's Ali doc, "What's My Name" (2019). Ali had a ton of charisma. He had a larger than life personality.
Anyone who doesn't have both Muhammad Ali and MJ in their GOAT list shouldn't be taken seriously. 4:06 "I really like the discussion when it goes off the court" then leaves out Ali from his list lol Also no offense to Serena Williams and her incredible career, but putting the GOAT of *women's tennis* above people like Phelps, Bolt, Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Kareem, Russel, Lebron, etc. is laughable. Serena Williams, Babe Ruth, and Tiger Woods shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Not all sports are created equal.
Pelé has to be in the top 5. Cristiano Ronaldo needs to be in it too. He’s the best athlete today. 5 Champions League titles and most CL goals. He also won with 4 clubs and with his country. He’s the only player in history to win it all with 2 different clubs. Ronaldo has the best goal ratio in Serie A and La Liga history. He’s going to break the record of most International goals too. He can assist, score goals and create chances but he’s also a leader and a consistent athlete that has been on the top level for 15+ years.
@@iconmma8184 the thing is, it's like both of them cancel out. The reason why Serena, Ali and Jordan are considered above them is because there's less competition in the respective sport.
@@arshaddahlan That makes no sense... the fact Ronaldo and Messi have been at the top for 15+ years with the competition there is in football just shows how great they are. Undoubtedly both in the top 5 imo. The only person who can compete with them is MJ.

@@r.a.8407 oh here we go are you going to put Tom Brady in the top 5 when he’s easily not top10? Fair enough MJ and Ali but Ronaldo and Messi are number 1/2
Not only did Bill Russell win 11 championships in 13 seasons, but he won 15 championships out of 20 championship competitions from high school, college and the NBA. Oh, and he won a gold medal too for good measure.
He is actually 14-2 the Gold Medal that he won wasn’t for basketball it was track Field I believe but still amazing athlete 14 championships in 16 championships competition won 1 in HS 2 in College out of 3 College Finals Kareem won 1 13 championships out of 17 Finals 4 HS all his years there 3 in College and 6 out of 10 in NBA I don’t understand how people still praise so much MJ for having 11 championships they said he is 11-0 and no 1 had that record or won as many rings as him when Bill and Kareem had more and go to more Finals and Bill do it less years Kareem do it in more amazing longevity but MJ in reality is 11-1 people don’t like to count HS for some reason if we count HS Lebron had 11 not 8 like people like to diminish him saying he loss the same as he won he had 3 HS 2 Gold Medals and 1 FIBA and 1 USA Basketball and 4 NBA those are 11 with 2 Bronze Medals which people diminish him for that we cant count 13 but you he still have those 2 medals he won 11 out of 19 Finals 11-8 record and doing something crazy because he had 2 Bronzes medals you can said and value both to 1 and said he is 12-7 if you want but despite the facts he still have those 2 Bronze Medals which still is a little accomplishment he is still 11-8 I don’t understand why people call him a loser he had an argument for facing the toughest competition especially in Finals of all time in the NBA he is still a winner to me 1 of the greatest athletes of all time in sports history all of this much better and greater than the most overrated of all time Serena Williams who isn’t even top 1,000 didn’t beat top 300 men in tennis and still they put her that overrated much greater athletes are than her just counting of our generation and he definitely is Lebron James and are others to also as well like Brady,Phelps,Bolt and Tiger Woods and I could keep going like Messi and Ronaldo and my others to also as well this can goes forever.

Ali without doubt is the goat! he ruled in the greatest era of boxing. and with respect to all the boxers of that era, just imagine foreman,frazier,norton,shavers,etc., without Ali.
The definition of goat goes far beyond the accolades , “greatness” refers to how much they left a mark on the sporting world and their impact in general on this earth.
because people will never have a simple goat in any sport which is why basketball it’s jordan or bron, football brady or LT, soccer messi or ronaldo, boxing ali, mike tyson, or floyd
@@chriswakefield1274 In Football that’s Pele, Messi or Ronaldo make your pick. Pele was the equivalent in Football that Wilt and Bilt Russel were combine in basketball. And Tyson isn’t even top 5 in the HW division all time give me a break 😂
Ali is easily the athlete with the highest stature ever. The most recognizable man on the planet for over a decade and loved the world over. Whether you think that makes him the GOAT depends on what you think GOAT is supposed to mean. But when it comes to the most towering figure in all of sports its Muhammad Ali.
People need to stop with the point argument against Bill Russell, this man could put up points but he saw the game differently, he knew that if he focused on defending and rebounding he could always be in charge of the fast break and the tempo of the game, always deny the opponents 2nd chance points and give his team more 2nd chance points, that's the reason the Celtic's were so dominant in that era.
1) Mohamed Ali 2) messi & ronaldo 3) Michael Jordan 4) roger federer 5) usain bolt 6) Serena Williams 7) pele & maradona 8) Tom Brady 9) tiger woods 10) Michael Phelps
Everyone has his opinion about this, but not having ali in your top 5 while putting serena williams in there tells it all. Say whatever you want to say but he is a sports icon and even earned his spot in history. No one can tell me he deserves to be lower than nr 2. no one. Period.

Ali gave up the greatest sports title in the world and millons of dollars to stand up for what he believed in. At that time, he was just coming into his prime. When Ali came back, his legs were gone and his hands were slower. Every boxing pro knew it and that is why Ali had to come up with the rope a dope.
In his prime Ali was unbeatable because no one could catch him. Watch Ali vs Brian London. It was a 3 round fight and Ali threw 12 punches in 3.5 seconds. By the way, 2 hours after this fight was over, everyone with Ali was celebrating while Ali was showing a poor African child magic tricks. Ali was the best athlete inside the ring but he was a great human being outside the ring too. That is why he is the greatest athlete of all time.

Ali is the goat of goat.
Been the greatest athletics doesn't mean about how you change the game.
Is about the positive impact you had for humanity and the world.
Yea like Wayne Gretzky who holds the record for most regular season goals, assists, points, hat tricks etc. A guy that won the Stanley cup 4 times and changed the NHL forever. A guy that was not only dominant on the ice but was also incredibly involved in the community. Definitely deserved a top 5

Ali was the greatest athlete this country has ever produced , it’s not that he was the champ every single year of his career, it’s what he meant to all of the sports world in his day and for all the days after on top of his winning .
Nobody can even come close to Muhammad Ali...
His Sacrifices will never be forgotten until this world exists..
I suggest for people who are not familiar with Ali to go watch SpringHill's "What's My Name: Muhammad Ali." I think Jordan had more memorable moments in his sport. But Ali had done more meaningful things for his own race.
Different debates.
People forget how good ali was in the ring. The most accomplished heavywieght of all time. Ali beat straight killers
For all humans, not just his race, but I know what you mean.
Ali is and always will be #1, from what he did in his sport to what he did for African-Americans, and his faith, I love that man for everything, LEGEND and will be remembered in history forever
Stephen A was still an adolescent when Ali fought in the Thrilla In Manila. Max was too young to remember it. But it shows how much respect Gen Xers have for him. I'll watch random Ali fights on RUclips at night sometimes.
Just curious haha, how old are you? 😅

Dam Skippy👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I really have no problem with Ali at #1. My mom isn't into boxing except when Pacquiao fights. She was very invested watching LeBron's Ali doc, "What's My Name" (2019). Ali had a ton of charisma. He had a larger than life personality.
Ali the Goat of all Goats
Anyone who doesn't have both Muhammad Ali and MJ in their GOAT list shouldn't be taken seriously. 4:06 "I really like the discussion when it goes off the court" then leaves out Ali from his list lol Also no offense to Serena Williams and her incredible career, but putting the GOAT of *women's tennis* above people like Phelps, Bolt, Messi, Ronaldo, Pele, Kareem, Russel, Lebron, etc. is laughable. Serena Williams, Babe Ruth, and Tiger Woods shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Not all sports are created equal.
Pele has entered the 💬!!! I was 17 years old when I won my first World Cup .....
Pelé has to be in the top 5. Cristiano Ronaldo needs to be in it too. He’s the best athlete today. 5 Champions League titles and most CL goals. He also won with 4 clubs and with his country. He’s the only player in history to win it all with 2 different clubs. Ronaldo has the best goal ratio in Serie A and La Liga history. He’s going to break the record of most International goals too. He can assist, score goals and create chances but he’s also a leader and a consistent athlete that has been on the top level for 15+ years.
@@iconmma8184 the thing is, it's like both of them cancel out. The reason why Serena, Ali and Jordan are considered above them is because there's less competition in the respective sport.
@@arshaddahlan That makes no sense... the fact Ronaldo and Messi have been at the top for 15+ years with the competition there is in football just shows how great they are. Undoubtedly both in the top 5 imo. The only person who can compete with them is MJ.
