top 3 fighters of all time

I believe the greatest fighter of all time would have to be Muhammad Ali formerly known as Cassius Marcellus Clay jr. With a professional record of 61 fights in all, 57 of which were wins. 37 of them were by knock out. It wasn't just the numbers that made Muhammad the best fighter in my mind it was his pure and raw talent. He could knock a guy out colder then piss on a plate walking backwards. When his opponent no matter how big or strong this guy looked. They would have there vision fixated on his face throwing wild and fast punches he would simlpy bob his head around avoiding every punch like he was playing more then fighting and before you new it the guy was sleeping on the canvas. Muhammad Ali was one of the biggest trash talkers of all time aswell. In the preliminary interviews before his fights alot of the time he would describe to his opponent exactly how he was going to knock him out and when fight night came around he would do exactly that. He held the heavy weight champion ship belt twice in his career taking it for the second time from the heavy hitter George Forman. Making Ali my number one fighter of all time. The second greatest fighter of all time is Anderson Silva of the UFC. Silva is the current middle weight champion he holds a professional record of 25 wins with 4 losses. He also holds the record for the longest winning streak in the UFC with 10 consecutive wins. Anderson Silva even stepped up to the plate and went up a weight class to fight someone in the light heavy weight divison and came out the victor. Making anderson Silva the second greatest fighter of all time. Last but not least, the third greatest fighter of all time is BJ Penn holding a professional record of 15 wins with 5 losses. He also at one point held the lightweight belt and the welterweight at the same time. It is not just the numbers that make BJ Penn one of the greatest fighters of all time it is the fact that everytime he goes into the fight people question if he is gonna win or not and he always goes against the odds and wins the fight making BJ Penn the 3 greatest fighter of all time.
