I understand your point , but I don't think being undefeated neccessarily makes him the best , it depends on the standard of opposition he faced , it is difficult to compare eras but could Marciano have beaten the likes of Sonny Liston , Joe Frazier & George Foreman to name 3 , I don't know , but those are 3 of the greatest heavyweights of all time and they were all around at the same time as Ali , food for thought.
