Ali, with out question. The rest are all tied for a close second.
Haven't read any mention of George Chuvalo. Never knocked out or off his feet! Threw knuckles with the worlds best. Ali, Forman, Fraser, Patterson and many say he beat Tyrell and should have won the Heavyweight championship in 1965.
Ali said "He was the toughest man I ever fought." And Chuvalo quipped after their first fight, "Guess who went to the hospital and guess who went out dancing with his wife!"
