World Top Ten Greatest Boxers of All Time<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />1) Muhammad Ali -<br />Record: 56 wins 37 KO 5 losses (56-5)<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1960-1981<br /><br />In every aspect of the sport, Muhammad Ali was electrifying. Ali was an exciting, outspoken, undefeated boxing phenomenon in is prime and was by far boxing's best entertainer. Ali would often taunt his opponents, fake punches, and do his famous shuffles in the ring. He was also just as good a boxing promoter as he was a boxer; his loud mouth trash talk, and rhyming antics were truly larger than life and unprecedented in the sport.<br /><br />2) Joe Louis<br /><br />Record:<br /><br />Won 66 Lost 3, 52 KO (66-3)<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1934-1951<br /><br />Known as "The Brown Bomber", Joe Louis was an American Icon. He was clearly a shining star head and shoulders above the rest in his time. He couldn't lose. Joe Louis only had one legitimate loss against Germany's Max Schmeling which he later avenged in a sensational and historical 1st round KO. <br /><br />3) Sugar Ray Robinson -<br /><br />Record: 173 wins, 109 (KO)19 losses, 6 draws, 2 no contests<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1940-1965<br /><br />Many consider Robinson to be the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of all time. Just boxing prowess considered, he might be. Robinson may be the best combination of boxing talent wrapped up in one man that the world has ever seen.<br /><br /><br />4) Jack Johnson -Record: Won 73 (40 KO), Lost 13, Draw 9, NC, 2<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1897-1945<br /><br />Before Muhammad Ali or Roy Jones Jr., the biggest brash, bold trash talker around was the first African-American Heavyweight Champ Jack Johnson. Being the first African-American Heavyweight champ alone should secure him a spot on any top ten listing. For over a decade, nobody could beat him.<br /><br /><br />5) Mike Tyson -Record: 50 wins, 6 losses, 44 KO, 2NC (50-6)<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1985-2005<br /><br />Let's just be real; Tyson is snubbed, misplaced, or left out all together on almost all the lists I've seen. We've forgotten what he was and moved on. It's outrageous and unfair. There is absolutely no other boxer in boxing history that has amassed such a legendary fear factor and buzz in the sport than "Iron" Mike Tyson.<br /><br />6) Jack Dempsey -Won 66 (KO 51), Lost 6 (KO 1) , drawn 9<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1914-1927<br /><br />Jack Dempsey is definitely one of the most popular American boxers in history. He is known for setting the highest attendance and purse records and had the very first million dollar fight ever. Jack Dempsey was worth it; he was known for being the most savagely brutal and entertaining boxers of all time. Missing teeth, broken jaws and swollen eyes were all things one would expect from a Dempsey fight. Dempsey was described as a "superhuman wild man."<br /><br />7) Julio Cesar Chavez -Record: Won 107 Lost 6, 2 draws, 86 KO<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1980-2005<br /><br />His record speaks for itself. Chavez is a Mexican legend who has gone over ten years straight without a loss. He was known as a tough as nails fighter who would always bring a great fight to the table. Chavez has earned himself the uncontested distinction of being recognized as "Mexico's Greatest Fighter".<br /><br />8) Rocky Marciano -Won 49 Lost 0, 43 KO (UNDEFEATED)<br /><br />Boxing Era:1948-1955<br /><br />Rocky Marciano is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history whose greatest claim to fame is being the only undefeated Heavyweight champion. Marciano was not that smooth as far as finesse is concerned, but he made up for it by punishing his opponents with power.<br /><br />9) Henry Armstrong, Jr. -150 wins, (100 KO) 21 losses and 9 draws<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1931-1945<br /><br />Henry Armstrong was the first and only boxer to hold 3 world championship division titles at the same time. He would have won a fourth, something that no one has come close to doing ever, but fell short due to a controversial draw against Ceferino Garcia. Many thought he should have won. Regardless, his greatest achievement is defending the welterweight title more times than anyone else in boxing history.<br /><br />10) Willie Pep -Record: won 229 (KO 65), lost 11, drawn 1<br /><br />Boxing Era: 1940-1966<br /><br />Willie Pep is an Italian-American boxer who fought for 26 years with a total of 229 wins out of 241 fights, perhaps the most impressive record in boxing.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />source-http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Ten-Greatest-Boxers-of-All-Time<br /><br />I, Sk Atar Ali hereby declare that all Images use
