Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan hands down.

Ali was knocked down by Banks, arguably beaten by Doug Jones, knocked down by Cooper (his corner cheated to buy him time), Liston quit on his stool and then took a dive in the rematch, was beaten soundly by Frazier the first time, got nearly murdered by Norton the first and third time, received a gift against Jimmy Young. The rest of his career is too sad to even discuss.
As for Jordan, his team won 57 games with him in the line-up and 55 when he went to play baseball. In contrast, before Bird arrived the Celtics won 29 games; with Bird they won 61. When he missed a season due to injury, he was replaced with Reggie Lewis. The Celtics could do no better than 40 wins.
Thank you. Goodnight.
