    What are you talking about?

    Like the thread says will there ever be a skilled, athletic and dynamic fighter like Ali?

    Its a simple question stop reaching.

    When did I call Wlad a bum? Stop making up stuff and throwing a tantrum over nothing.

      Some of them had key advantages that would give them a great chance, do you remember how good Holy was during his prime?

              how athletic does the heavy have to be?
              how do you compare the athleticism of a 6'3 220 guy to a 6'7 250 guy? does wlad have to get on his bike in order for some to deem him as athletic?
              of course the smaller guy will appear more athletic, becuz he has the smaller frame. his frame has less of a load to carry.
              pardon my analogy, but what would you find more impressive a middle linebacker who runs a high 4.5 40 or a 6'4 290 lb defensive end running a 4.7?

              fact is wlad is athletic (very athletic for a guy that huge) and he meets the criteria of the original post. he is skilled and athletic. i dunno about dynamic cuz that is an even more subjective term.

                Yeah. I do. Not as good as Ali.

                  Hes athletic but very stiff and robotic and flat footed. Ali was the complete opposite of Wlad.

                    I think he was better overall, more dynamic, and competing with bigger guys too.

                      Did i say that, or did your dumbass just assume that? I never specified America.

                      And like i said earlier i dont want to change the topic of this thread if u want to debate me on this start another thread.
