is Ali a myth or reality? plus other old guys

[flexxx145]

Even on black and white old videos Ali looks faster, stronger and far more skilled than every HW currently fighting today. PBF and Manny will not measure up if they don't fight each other. The fans demand a trilogy.

Ali made a living dancing around guys like the klits.

Yet it's arguable that he lost all three fights with Norton and never fought anyone like the Klits.

TS has a point. It's almost that the old guns are untouchable around here. Mayweather and Pacman could hang with the the greatest of fighters in there divisions. I still think some HW'S are heavily overated around here...

You say he's never fought anyone like the klits.. But I dont see anything more then flat footed, hard punching guys, who stick there jab in your face, and throw the occasional straight, and even more occasional left hook.

No to mention the Klits jab would be too slow for Ali. Prime Ali uses movement to and superior boxing to destory the Klits easily.

Your first mistake is lumping them together, when they fight absolutely nothing alike.

Personally I think Vitali would be the easier fight for Ali. And I'm not saying Wlad beats him, but anyone who thinks he's an easy fight for Ali is delusional.

Ali is greater than every current fighter

very true

SRL and SRL in their primes would tear up all the WW's in this era.

it is also arguable that if your gonna say that ali never fought anyone like the brothers, then you have to concede that the brothers have never fought anyone within lightyears of ali's skill and will. i could name you a few big tall heavys he fought with very good jabs but how many fighters can you name me that either klit has fought who remotley resembles ali. vitali couldnt even handle an out of shape lewis how the fack is him or his brother going to touch ali.

Good Post! Personally I think a Prime Lennox Lewis would've murdered both Klits.

what made Ali great is Ali himself. What made Ali greater is the fighters he faced in his time. Something that the present heavyweights sorely lack, quality depth.
