Muhammed Ali 1967-1970: The "What-if" era

[dans]

During the time period of 1967 to 1970, Muhammed Ali was not allowed to box. This was during the prime of his title reign and just about his physical prime as well.

Can you imagine Ali's "What-if" era? What if Ali hadn't been forced to stop boxing? Who would he have fought? Who would he have beaten? Could he have lost to any challengers at that time?

Thoughts?

you mustve watched alis ringside saturday night.....yea imo ali had just hit his prime right before his exile

[Silencers]

There are too many variables to say whether he would've gone undefeated or would've gotten beaten. What was almost a certainty though was that he would've fought Frazier during that time and that would've been one hell of a fight.

Ali would have continued his domination over the sport, and beat every challenger with ease until the 1970s. He would have also beaten frazier the first time around, and would retire earlier not having to proove himself to all.

those 3 years certainly changed his career..but i think if that incedent never happens ali wouldnt be as big as he is today..the fact that he overcame adversity and got back to the top is what defines his career imo..the excile actually benifited him and made him larger than life

I think Ali would have been exposed as the fraud he was in those 3 years. He would have been clownstoped by Norton, like he was 3 times. He probably would have been KO'ed by a 185 pounder just like he was by Henry Cooper when Dundee cheated and ripped his gloves and gave him smelling salt...hmm...why is Ali ******ed today? Could it be he took illegal substances to keep his body going even though his brain was telling it that it was damaged? The best part of the Cooper fight is when Ali stands up in his corner and thinks that Dundee is Cooper and tries to fight him. This was a 185 pound british guy with no muscle, balding, out of shape, and with little to no skill. Ali wouldnt have won so many gift decisions as he probably wouldnt have had such big support from the black panthers and islamic groups who would fix his matches.

Ali was a joke. Most real boxing fans know this. He's like the Da Vinci Code of boxing, sure everyone knows about it and people who dont normally partake in reading checked it out, but people who are actually learned on the subject just think its trash worthless cowardly trash.
