Skill? You say that like Wlad would have had a skill advantage over Ali. I know you Wlad huggers can be ridiculous sometimes but that would be going over the top.
Ali had it all, he was the total package. We are talking prime for prime here, and prime Ali at heavyweight was invincible as far as I am concerned. He came back from his exile diminished and still managed to get it done against all the top guys when the division was the most competitive in its history.
I really doubt you have watched many Ali fights dude. I don't class you as a boxing fan to be honest. You just like watching your European heavyweights go round.
As I have said before I am a fan of Wlad Klit. He is my favourite heavy right now and probably my favourite of the last 10 or 15 years, but saying he would stop Ali is just a joke and demonstrates why your opinion has very little credibility around here with the exception of the rest of you Eastern Euro groupies.Comment

I hear that often but I'm not so sure if it's true.
The fighters Ali had the most trouble with (in my opinion) were those who cut off the ring, not allowing him to use his feet, and consistently worked his body to slow him in the later rounds (which is why Ali went to great lengths to strengthen it). The left hook got through Ali's defense most often.
Louis commented on it in the late 60's:
Frazier executed that gameplan almost perfectly against Ali in their first fight.“The kid has speed and there’s no one around to outbox him, and the opponent who tries is in his grave. Especially in the middle if the ring. I’d see to it that Clay didn’t stay in ring center. No. He’d be hit into those ropes as near a corner as I could get him. If he stayed on the ropes he would get hurt. Sooner or later he’d try to bounce off, when he did he would get hurt more. I’d press him, cut down his speed, and **** him around the ribs. I’d punish the body. “Kill the body and the head will die”, Chappie use to tell me. It figures. Sooner or later he’d forget about that face of his and he would start dropping that left hand like he did against Mildenberger and Chuvalo. Those fellows got their openings by accident, and fouled it up. I would work for it and wouldn’t reckon to miss when it arrived. Cassius Clay is a nice boy and a smart fighter. But I am sure Joe Louis would have licked him.”
Terrell was a tall guy (6'6) with cautious style and a good left jab but he was dominated by Ali from start to finish. Terrell was no Wladimir but there were similarities.

I get it, no worries there...I just disagree with you, if you think Clay wouldn't have trouble with Wlad.
By the way, Dylan ****** ASS, always did, always will. I can't think of many less talented people who made more money in the music business.
However, I surely do enjoy the music from that little hat wearing faggot.
As for Raven...I can take or leave.Comment

Real reason? I just got used to hearing him referred to as Clay when I was a kid, and have a hard time thinking of him otherwise. Sort of like calling your grandfather "PaPa", instead of Grandfather, in a way.
And yes, I did get it, just didn't know it was bothering you in some way...just thought you were having a little fun with it.Comment
