Will there ever be a dynamic, skilled and athletic Heavyweight like Ali again?

[General Zod]

I believe Holmes was just as good as Ali was....just my opinion. Larry might've been the best ever.

I would say that Ali had better footwork, Ive never seen a fight where Holmes fought like Ali did back in his Cassiuis Clay days

[Lucky Luciano]

It won't be another one as skilled as Ali. The ones that have to the potential to be close or better, they're playing other sports.

[Steelhammer2011]

Yup, because before Soviets were not allowed to compete.

Ali was lucky that he lived in an era where "World Championship" was mainly a local contest. As soon as the East-European gates opened all US fighters look like school boys.

Good post.

Green K sent.

That is pure speculation. Ali was even knocked down by a featherfist dwarf (Frazier. Heavyweight KOratio like Chris Byrd).

I doubt it that he could compete against nowadays ****ers. Ali had no defense whatsoever. He got hit by the slllloooowwwwessst punches one has ever seen.

A left hook from Frazier would have put Wlad to sleep

Agreed, I dont mean to start any controversy or change the topic of the thread but I think all of the athletes who could be the best boxers play basketball.

You are a ******.

You are the racist here for getting butthurt whenever someone talks about a black american heavyweight being great.

Question: who on Wlad resume would have beaten Ali, Holmes or Tyson?

This excuse again? Pathetic, like other countries don't have other options for their athletes too.

[Siggy]

Good point, but he wasnt a mover like Ali

Mayweather?

who said anything about being a mover? one doesnt need to be a mover to be considered athletic.
FWIW, wlad is skilled and athletic.
it takes a lot of athleticism to be as coordinated with the reflexes, speed and power that he has on a frame that huge.

he just doesnt have an entertaining style.
guess what, neither did ali.

Wlad is skilled and athletic But hes no Ali by any stretch of the imagination. Two completely different level of fighters.

Its not an excuse its just the way it is.
