No. Clay wasn't superman, he was just a superbly talented fighter with mediocre power but lightning fast hands, savant level ring-smarts, and great stamina (early in his career, later he'd gas).
IF he were to beat Klitschko, it'd be a decision, not a stoppage. He also tended to have trouble with big guys with a good jab. Wladimir would've given Clay big, big trouble. I think Clay probably takes it the distance and wins a comfortable decision, but the risk of him getting KO'd by Wladimir would be very, very high, and he'd have needed to be extremely cautious, taking no chances, and no showboating.
Anybody who can't see how dangerous Wlad would be to anybody in the history of this sport ought to be watching pro bowling or something, as you know nothing about Boxing. Foreman actually could've beaten Clay, if he hadn't been such a moron at the time. He had the tools, he just punched himself out so completely that my 11 year old daughter could've KO'd the big fool. Credit goes to Clay for making him crazy enough to do just that, too.
I somewhat idolize Clay myself, but some of you guys are really nuts over him.
