I'm an Ali fan, but Messi should be higher.

Ali isn't even the greatest or best boxer all-time. Best/Greatest HW? Yes.

[oche balboa]

Rocky was the greatest

Rocky was the greatest

Marciano? Was he fuck.

[oche balboa]

Unbeaten?

Who was then

[sennafan24]

Unbeaten?

Who was then

Ye gads. Ali, Joe Louis and Lennox Lewis for a start.

Ali was greater because he beat better opponents. Do you really think Marciano would have had much of a chance against prime Foreman? And before you mention Marciano's win over Joe Louis, Louis was past his prime when Marciano beat him.

Ali was better because he was better skilled.

Claiming Marciano is greater than them just because he was unbeaten is like claiming Sven Ottke is the greatest super middleweight all-time.

Look at these lists from historians over the years. Not one ranked Marciano as the HW GOAT - https://coxscorner.tripod.com/heavylists.htm

[oche balboa]

He was unbeaten mate. It counts for something

[oche balboa]

I think Lewis is higher then Fury mind

[sennafan24]

Nowhere near as much as Ali beating superior opponents.

Marciano would not have beaten Foreman. Liston and Frazier would have probably smashed him too.

I think Lewis is higher then Fury mind

Of course he is.

Lennox would beat him H2H too.

I'm unbeaten in the annual speedwanking comp

It's only me, my mom and my uncle but its good fun

So portraying a coloured person at a fancy dress party is now racist?

Yes mate, its not 1972 any more in case you havent noticed.

Why is it racist though?

Historically where its mocking people if indeed they were is different to me turning up as Mr t to an event if my 3 mates are the other members setting out to mock nobody.
I assume people of colour can't attend events as white people either?

Sure it counts for something. But a lot of it is just hype nowadays. Any British prospect will be given 20 fights worth of shite to build up the ‘unbeaten’ hype, just look at Joshua’s record.

Think in the long term more respect is given to who they actually beat rather than what their record says on paper

It's not like you can just reverse the whole situation and ignore all the context of oppression behind it.

We don't get to decide what's offensive to people of colour

No I really can
Conrext is everything

What would Alan Partridge make of this arrangement?

Unbeaten?

Who was then

Louis fought so many bums
Marciano was an animal but too small for the modern era
Ali is the obvious choice but I'd fancy jack Johnson against anyone
