What do you think Ali would do against a klitschko?

The best heavyweight era ever, the golden years. His resume is also better in terms of quality of opposition beaten than SRR, even though SRR P4P is rated higher for his level of opposition in a quantitative sense.Comment

I think Max Baer and Joe Louis beat Vitaly. Just like how they did Primo Carnera. Look at Vitaly and Primo style and tell me they didn't fight the same.
But, anyways back to the question. Ali KO's Wlad, and outboxes Vitaly and maybe even stops him in cuts.
I think Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson beats both also...
From reports I read short fighters with great head movement always gave Vitaly hell in the gyms...Comment

Later in Ali's career he was still beating fighters like Foreman and Shavers. He was never knocked out. You can't compare that to Roy Jones.I know Ali is a national treasure and all but his talents in the ring are overhyped because of his legend.
He made way too many mistakes and was exposed later in his career for them the same way Roy Jones was.
Ali was never technically brilliant. The Klitschko's are far better technically and just too damn big for him. They would knock him out with the quickness.Comment

Americans called themselves world champs for almost a century, without fighting hardly anyone outside of their country.
Now that they have worldwide competition, they're calling it garbage.Comment

Vitali didn't lose that fight. The dr. jobbed him.Just so everyone knows NO fighter that either Klitschko has lost to, is comparable to Ali in any way. The fact Wlad lost to a 6'4" 225lb Southpaw with huge power has absolutely no bearing on how a fight with Ali would play out. Same goes for Vitali losing to a 6'5" 250lb Lewis, its just not comparable.
vitali wanted to continue and finish the job on Lewis. Who ran scared like a woman into retirement right after that.
Back on topic though, if the Klitschko's would've been around back then, I guarantee you Ali runs to Vietnam like its paradise.Comment

IMO Frazier would be a nightmare for Vitali. He'd be too close all night and the Klitschkos aren't athletic enough to deal with him.I think Max Baer and Joe Louis beat Vitaly. Just like how they did Primo Carnera. Look at Vitaly and Primo style and tell me they didn't fight the same.

Ali does not have the best resume any weightclass ever, that's absurd.
Pietrzykowski won rounds 1 and 2, that constitues a win, yes.
and what i said was Jones can thank his own country since that b.s. decision was retribution for what they did in '84, all true.
All of which your opinion is irrelevant since you never saw the fight or knew anything about '84 before they were mentioned in this thread like 3 pages agoComment
