Did Muhammad Ali Cheat in some fights?
Yes he did. with Henry Cooper, Ali was dropped and when he went back to his corner, they saw that he wasnt going to be able to make it another round, so they ripped his glove open while the referee wasnt looking, and then had to make everyone wait minutes for a new glove to be fetched, thus giving Ali time to get back to his senses.
With Frazier(Their third fight), Ali had deflated his glove and if you look closely, you can see his right glove deflated all the way (roughly round 7 and so on), and his left glove deflated a little. People say that this was the kind of glove that he was using that when the sweat gets in there then it deflates, but frazier, who was sweating just as much as they where fighting in 110-120 degree weather, was using the same type of gloves, which did not deflate at all.

2) Indiana is the HQ of the KKK
next on the list is Don King and his cronies, who said Tyson "owed" them for keeping him safe while in prison, basically fleecing him of nearly all his wealth.
What is the best sanctioning body in boxing?
The WBA is the oldest sanctioning body in boxing today, however the WBC for its iconic 'green belt' is probably considered the most prestigious belt to win. For any hardcore boxing fan, there are way too many titles in boxing these days as it is, let alone the additions of 'interim' and 'super' champions, the IBF is the only sanctioning body that recognizes only 1 world champion and doesnt deal with the alphabet title nonsense, this is why most boxing pundits see them as the most respected, the WBC in this sense are abit of a joke, having even silver titles and youth silver titles. The wbo isnt universally recognized as one of the 'big 3' however is considered a world title as such. So to answer your question i would say IBF-WBC-WBA-WBO.

Why are there three heavy weight boxing champions?
Excellent question. I don't think there's a boxing fan out there that doesn't pine for the days when each weight division had one, easily identifiable champion. Problems arise, basically, due to money. Well, money and politics.
Promoters seem to think that nobody will turn up or tune in for a fight without a world title attached to it, so a whole host of chancers invented their own organisations until we ended up in the ridiculous situation we have now with any number of 'world' titles. Of these, there are four that have any semblance of credibility - WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF.
What you're seeing now is fighters going for the big fights regardless of which body sanctions it because those fights, like Pacquiao-Cotto for instance, are the ones that the public want to see and, consequently, are where the money is.
Who holds the longest undefeated streak in boxing history?
Right now is Floyd mayweter jr his 41-0
Joe Calzaghe 46 - 0 , the undefeated world super middleweight champion is the longest reigning world title holder in boxing history.
He retired after a professional boxing career spanning almost two decades which saw him unbeaten in 18 years as a professional and amateur boxer.
Joe's record of having won all his 46 professional fights means that he retires as Britain's only ever undefeated world champion in boxing (having held a world title for just two weeks short of eleven years) or indeed any in other major sport.
