What do you think Ali would do against a klitschko?

[Jim Jeffries]

Vitali gets easily outboxed, Wlad stands a better chance than most are giving him.

That's pretty much the way I see it.

Wlad does better against Ali, Vitali does better against Foreman.


I know a lot of people will say Ali would stop Wlad, but Ali couldn't stop chinny Ken Norton in 45 rounds, Leon Spinks in 30 rounds or Earnie Shavers in 15. All of those guys are way chinnier (and have worse defense) than Wlad.

I'm not saying Wlad beats him, but Ali knows he's been in a fight.

I love how people come up with these match-ups after a big named fighter wins their bout.

Hate them or love them but all three of those fighters are heavyweight greats.

However The new heavyweights cant even hold their predecessor's jockstrap.

my two cents.

[Schmerzen]

Yeah, but Liston was also only 6'1" and like 40 years old.

Ali had a size advantage over pretty much everyone he faced, save a few.

the 40 years old had 3 first round ko victories in a row, just before he fought ali.

nobody knows how old liston was.
liston is the reason why any1 thinks pattersons chin is made of glass.

Klits fight better than Frazier. Frazier was a 1 trick pony.

Wlad also has a glass jaw. They are good, but are not top ten Hws, and you talk about how they would do against the greatest HW ever? Larry Holmes would show them the best HW jabs ever.

liston was in his early 30's when he lost to ali.

ali had height advantage not really size. plus this was only in the early part of his career.

the size of heavyweights increased a lot during the mid to late 60's.

Sonny Liston's overrated too. He was a midwest journeyman bum with a good publicist.

He wouldn't even crack the top 20 today.

Cris Arreola>>>Sonny Liston.

No he wasn't, hell the dude spent what? 10 years in prison? Boxrec lies.

The only people that Ali fought taller than him, were skinny as a rail, the only people heavier were usually shorter. Foreman is the exception, but even he was about the same weight.

[Steelhammer2011]

He seemed to do best against 1 dimensional fighters, and nobody's more 1 dimensional than those 2.

How do you think he would approach the fight, and how well would he execute his strategy?

The Klitschko brothers aren't one dimensional you ******.

Ali wasn't invincible, he got knocked down, badly hurt and almost KTFO by 185 lb Cooper.

Either Klitschko is definitely capable of beating light hitting Ali.

This notion that Wlad has a glass chin is an absurd myth.

Corrie Sanders could punch like a mule and Brewsters camp drugged Wladdy.

Sam Peter dropped him but that was when Wlad had low confidence.

Now he is unstoppable and can take any man's punch. He hasn't even come close to being hurt in his last 5 or 6 fights.

nah..... floyd really had a weak chin.

probably the weakest chin ever for a top tier heavyweight.

floyd was dropped like 15-20 times in his career. he makes wlad and lennox look like chuvalo.

Ali was suffering from the beginning stages of Parkinson when he fought Spinks and Shavers. If the medical screening was up to par then he wouldn't even have been licensed.
