who would you consider to be the greatest boxer of all times
regardless of weight class?
who are the candidates for this?

Well the better question might be who is the GOAT in each
division. I tend to go with the more modern fighter. Lennox
Lewis would have annihilated Ali/Clay prime vs prime. So
Ali/Clay is not the greatest to me.
might as well make a boxing GOAT thread.... :D

I agree with sword that you need to do it on a division by
division basis, and probably best sticking with the original
divisions. Ali and Ray Robinson are often lauded as the GOATs
but it's almost an impossible task to consider one overall GOAT
when covering the decades and all the different divisions.

I am in agreement also:
we need to go with 2-3 divisions for starters.
division by division is probably the best way to attack this.

is max baer the most feared boxer in history?
The one-time "killer" and future inspiration to Jews during
WWII, Baer is possibly the most feared puncher ever to box
professionally.
Baer's record stands at 72 wins, 53 by knockout, and 12 losses.
Baer fought Frankie Campbell in 1930; Campbell died in the ring
after two blows to the head from Baer. It was later revealed
that the punches knocked Campbell's brain completely loose from
the connective tissue holding it in place in his head. Baer was
profoundly affected by this event.
The movie Cinderella Man, director Ron Howard, in one of the
most despicable cases of artistic license ever, makes Baer look
sadistic and his remorse for Campbell is not shown. In all
fairness, the media at the time in the 30's played up Baer's
image as a killer, and the film does show Baer accepting defeat
graciously, smiling and clapping at Braddock's victory. It can
also be argued that the depiction of Baer in the film was in
keeping with his depiction in the press at the time, and the
image of a destructive, savage boxer was often used by promoters
to create interest in Baer's fights.
And, while the film's Max Baer in the movie never expresses
remorse for the death of Campbell, neither does he actually
boast about it. The real life Max Baer helped put Frankie
Campbell's kids through college. Later, Baer became an actor.
He was heavyweight champion from June 14th, 1934 until June
13th, 1935 (when he lost to Braddock). He died at the age of
50.

Bronson.
