Here is my take on things gentlemen;
Wlad wouldn't have much of a advantage height or reach wise as Ali was 6;3 with an 83 inch reach. I think Ali's reach would actually be an advantage for him with Wlad at 81 reach. Ali moved way too well for Wlad he would out jab Wlad and talk to him whil ehe was doing it. He tie him up when he needed too and be able to take his power shots and spit them out back at him. The advantages that carry Wlad in most of his fights are as follows
1) Height - he stands tall uses his jab and height to be the bigger fighter
2) Reach - His 81 inch reach is usually his avantage over 99% of his pponents
3) Jab - He has an excellent jab which he uses well
4) Agility and Movement - He has great movement for a man of his saze and physical build
IMO Ali would out jab him, even as good as he moves Wlad would have trouble catching up to Ali. Ali would have the reach advantage ven though Wald is 2 - 3 inches taller. Ali may not have had the power Wlad has but he had pint point accuracy and lighting speed for a HW and he would catch Wlad with something he wouldn't see coming and the sounds of that brokne glass hitting the floor after about 7 or 8 rounds would be beautiful.....Lefty
Wlad would have more chance of swimming the Atlantic ocean non stop than he would have of beating Ali. In his prime Ali could take both Klit bothers at same time & neither would lay a glove on him. Its like saying who would win out of Iron Mike Tyson & Pee Wee Hermann ROFLMAO

Hey Larry this is an old thread when we were young posters here on BS. Remember the Mayweather Mafia, Cotto Cartel and the Coalition? Where the hell is Horus now anyhow?
WK KO Ali in 1-3 under any circumstances.
Ali would never land a meaningful punch on Wlaidmir and might even drop from a jab..
Nothing in the performance of Ali or any of his bummy cruiser opponents leads to the conclusion that Ali could ever even have stepped into the same ring as Klitschko, let alone compete with him.
If Wladimir ever staged a title defense against Ali the fans would be disgusted that he once again cherry picked such a piss weak opponent who could barely even box and be outraged.
Ali would be the weakest opponent that Wladimir ever faced! That is a fact!
Your post are comedy right?

Ali would frustrate Wlad and stop him late. Accumulated punishment.
I agree with this statement and for the other reasons mention about the getting into the head of his opponents and the trash talking. I go with Ali he can take a punch and work the judges....Lefty
You should put Tunney's Wlad KO8 Ali prediction in your signature... He always delivers.
Wladimir's career isn't even over yet, a lot of people would look very stupid if he were to be KO'd by Povetkin or Haye (not saying it will happen but it could).
I only start comparing boxers to past greats when they are done. Wladimir is still in his prime in my opinion.
Yeah Wlad is still in his prime, and who knows how good he could go on to be, but talking about Wlad now vs Ali i've got Ali all the way.
The only advantage that Wlad has is size and maybe power, he has nothing else over Ali.
Ok maybe Wlad one advantage was 'Size' but the question is could Wlad power really trouble Ali when he a prime Foreman, Frazier,Shavers, cound't Ko him. I think the answer is NO!
Some people think that Wladimir Klitschko could beat Ali. Hang on, I'll say it again: Some people think that Wladimir Klitschko could beat Ali.

Ali by Ko, first of all Ali would win the mental game I think he would mess with Wlads head. As far as the fight goes if it was the current Wlad then Ali would have an easy night, Wlad has a good jab which always trouble Ali but the big thing for me is Wlad is very very open to a counter punch when he throw the right hand he is wide open and Wlad doesn't bring his punches back when he throws them, Ali would counter every time Wlad throws the right and use his much better footwork to completely dominate Wlad imo.
Agreed, I think Ali would get into Wlad head, with his sheer smack talking, and also the predicting rounds, when you fought Ali who just didn't have a battle in the ring, who had one outside the ring with him aswell.

Agreed but as far as landing accurately on the chin, that punch was one of his best. Ali never saw it coming.
I think Holmes was throwing an uppercut when Shavers landed which made it even worse.
Was that a right hand or what? LOL
Thanks for that vid and your input Manchine
