Vitali Klitschko would have KO'd Ali

[boxing_great]

the guy has no technique in his punches. he fights with a technique of somebody who just started the sport of boxing, so how the hell is he going to give arguably the best HW ever a tough challenge is beyond me.he was a former kick boxer, and he carries that style with him into the boxing ring.
but he can take a good shot.

Tye Fields would have Kayoed Ali. Fact.

In the first round.

Here's proof: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=169337

He could have KO'd Ali, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that he would.

[Mr. Ryan]

I have a hard time believing that given his very curious reign, which included a hand-picked Danny Williams and a subsequent retirement that made Rahman look like a giant killer in the media.

All things considered, he also failed to beat Lewis on the worst night of his career.

This is like the biggest trick question of them all.
Of course Vitali would have KO'd Ali. He never mentioned which version though

With the time given to reflect on Vitali's career a few years after his last fight, it's very clear that it doesn't stand the test of time as a great one. At the moment, we looked at it as something of great potential in a limited era. But really, for what little Klitschko accomplished as a champion, it's absurd for his fans to start proclaiming him to be some all-time legend.

It's like the time some Naz Hamed fan told me he thought Hamed would destroy Salvador Sanchez.

Yeah, but my point is, he never said what version Ali was. Obviously my sarcastic comment was meant for the fact that Vitali would KO Ali...

but the one that fought Holmes and Berbick.

Certainly, I agree with that. I'd pick the Ali who "beat" Jimmy Young and Earnie Shavers over Klitschko.

you have got to be kidding, ali would have destroyed both klitchskos, thats ****ing ridiculous i hope the thread starter was joking

[aussieboxer2320]

But you can't deny that Vitali is a monster and is capable of beating any great heavyweight in history.....

you have got to be kidding me, guys like dempsey,louis, marciano, ali, tyson (pre prison), patterson etc would have given both klitchkos a serious beating
