Ali was as much about personality and charisma as he was about ability. Shame he was a rude, self-righteous prick (who happened to be quite capable inside the ring).
Possible the best, but not IMO. Maybe only those who've genuinely witnessed 50yrs or so of talent can say whether he was. Unfortunate that he finds himself only a husk of the man he once was.

Arthur Abraham is technically very good and not a quiter. He lost his recent match but google him if you want to see how he coped in a previous.
At the weekend I watched a documentary on George Foreman and I must say I've alot of respect for the man outside of the ring.

Late 80s Tyson - untouchable.
LOL. I suppose someone had to say it.Sugar Ray Robinson is the consensus pick as best pound for pound boxer who ever laced them up. Even for such an impossible question, he's nearly always picked #1.
It's an even tougher question because the prime of boxing was 1900 - 1960ish, with the 1970 heavyweights being the swansong. So most of the real legends were dead before any of us were born.

Heavyweights I would say Tyson just shades Ali hard to tell as I am not sure the competition was so strong for Tyson, where Ali fought a few other great boxers.
Around I would go for Hagler, certainly the greatest fight I have seen.

LOL. I suppose someone had to say it.Do you remember watching him as a 19 year old? Pure aggression and power. Before he went off the rails he was unstoppable.
Ali never did it for me. Too full of his own self importance.
I guess the real best pound for pound lighter has to be one of the Cubans. Stevenson perhaps?

Caroline Dearing is the undisputed world boxing champion. Capable of 'wrapping and packing' a 5 bedroom, 3 storey town house in 4hrs 32secs she has no known breakages to her name

Well, if we're going to be serious, then in the modern era it's Chavez no question.

Sure, Tyson was awesome and more than that be carried the whole sport on his back for about 10 years. But he never fought anyone in his prime (an auld Larry Holmes and a past it Michael Spinks don't count). You can't compare Tyson to a heavyweight legend like Ali or Joe Louis, they're just in different solar systems.
Tyson and Lennox Lewis would be a more reasonable comparison. Could argue the toss for one or the other either way.

If Hagler was good,then Sugar Ray Leonard,who beat him,Roberto Duran,Wilfredo Benitez and Thomas Hearns,was much better.

Tyson in his prime would have spanked Lewis all over the show! He was like a mythical monster in his day, most of the opposition lost all heart before he had swung a punch.

ianGreat boxers lose fights too, but each fighter at their best, then I reckon Hagler would have won. Hearns and Duran also beat SR.
What a great era for middleweight boxing that was, I can't think of any other era with so many top notch boxers fighting at around the same weight. As well as those top four there was also another half dozen that wasn't far off and would probably been champions in anther era.
