Muhammad Ali, widely considered the greatest heavyweight ever, dominated the toughest era of boxing champions.

Though he lost to Joe Frazier (whom he later beat twice) and Ken Norton, Ali’s victories over legends like Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier (twice), and George Foreman solidify his place as boxing royalty.
