Muhammad Ali would toy with Wladimir Klitschko

[BritishBoxing92]

Question? Name a great heavyweight Wladimir has beaten. He has take advantage of a easy era and division and that's the bottom line. Watching his last fight i wasn't to impressed. I was hearing he could beat Prime Ali this and that but against basically a average heavyweight he looked mediocre to me and his punches look predictable.

Prime Ali boxes circles around him to a UD

seems right...although wladimir would not be easy to dance with in the boxing ring...

If Wlad can survive the next 3-4 years without losing a single fight and simply defending his belts and blow away all mandatory challengers he will easily be considered one of the 3 best heavyweights ever.

4 years, 2 fights a year. That's another 8 fights. He would then retire with a record of 62 wins, 3 losses and winning 22 title fights. He just has to protect that china chin and not get hit.

Wlad can defend his title against another 100 bums and he still won't be considered greater than Louis, Ali, Foreman or Holmes

I said "among the 3 best heavyweights ever", I didn't say "better than Louis, Ali, Foreman". Big difference!

With another 10 title defenses against mandatory contenders (even if we think they're bums) without losing a fight and barely a single round he'd be in the same league.

We may not agree but boxing historians will rank him right there.

If we're being honest, then you have to say that Ali's competition in the 1960's was even worse than Klitschko's.

Come on man, I have seen you posting on here for ages, and you know your ****. You can't be serious.

Well, Ali himself had height and reach advantages over most of his opponents. It is hard to say how he would have performed against skilled and powerful puncher with perfect jab as Wladimir. On the other hand, Ali had more difficult fights and was more plastic than Wlad. Anyway it's all about preferences and speculations now.

why do you haters always try to bring up hypothetical matches to try and diminish Wlad's career.

"Muhammad Ali will took Wlad" ok so, does that mean Wlad is a bad fighter...... stop bringing up this ****, either admit wlad good, or shut up

this thread= fail

Sven Ottke must be a legend to you.

Sorry, no matter how much you try to hype up BS defenses (not speakign specifically about Wlad), real fans know better.

Agreed. These fantasy matchup threads too often seem to be about discrediting or diminshing a current foreign fighter because fighters from the US aren't doing well against him today. It's all rather sad I think.
