    None of that had anything to do with his question. Name one fighter on Wlad's resume half the quality of Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston or George Foreman.

      Oh here we go again, with the "no one in the last 30 years could ever have beaten a prime Ail, Wlad, Lewis, Vitali, Holyfield all would be ko'd in less than 4 rounds".

        That whole "well an american gets more credit" argument is such a cop out. If you think the opponents the klitschkos are beating are just as good as the ones ali and the other fighters beat then you are just full of **** or crazy.

          That's tough to say. I doubt it. Ali was a special athlete.

              What does have to do with the thread title?

              Nothing at all.

                Well, if you take each guy on their best nights, it's pretty doubtful that any of them could have beaten Ali. It's not a 4 round knockout, but Ali was better than all of those guys.

                    thats why there's no one as athletic as Ali from ANY country now.

                    I seriously doubt any white person being as athletic though. It's well known that Black people tend to be more athletic than White people.
                    Why do moderators let posters get away with racist posts like this?

                      I never said Wlad was greater than Ali.

                      Besides, Wlad's career ain't over.
