Greatest of all time?
I remember reading an article saying that he wasn't even the greatest of his time!
You would have to say that on a win/loss and nature of win/loss, George Foreman comes out top every time.
Ali won a stupid, Pyrrhic victory over George but - courageous as Ali was - he would not have braved a re-match with George.
Ali lost to Frazier and Norton. George smashed them to pieces.
George Foreman also smashed George Chuvalo to pieces, but Ali - see above - could hardly dent George.
