Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Compares Wladimir With Muhammad Ali

[Cereal]

With Ali fans, as well as Rid**** Bowe fans, nailing them down on the mythical prime is almost impossible.

They fail to realize that Ali was faster in the 60's but had a weak chin, then they struggle to comprehend that in the 70's he got stronger and put on the pounds, but his quickness and reflexes were much slower. They talk about Ali as if he had both the quickness of the mid 1960s with the chin and durability of the mid 70s, he never had that. If Foreman was as smart in the late 70's as he was in the early 90's he would have killed Ali, unfortunately fighters dont work that way.

Ali v Folley and Ali v Williams= Speed, Footwork, Concussive Punching.

the klits

the klits? yes thats right......a pair of ****s.
compared to ali? what a ****.
the game has gone. what a complete ****.
they have just been renamed, as of this moment they are no longer the klits or the sisters, the are the "****ko" sisters.
****s.

Ali is in another galaxy as far as greatness is concerned, but Wlad would win in a fight.

Ali would DOMINATE today's HW division....but Wlad and Vit would be MONSTERS in ANY era imo.....Ali's footwork and speed would be the difference maker against a Klit....his chin has been labeled as one of the BEST in HW history....if you dont invest to the body, you dont beat Ali.....Wlad is no body puncher

I'm a big fan of BOTH Ali and Wlad

[led]

almost everyone admit that ali has greater opposition in his time. in that way, how can you compare wlad, when he has yet to show what he is made of as a boxer.

[TRAV1$]

Ali is greater in every sense and would probably find it insulting to be compared to Klitschko.

[Steelhammer2011]

Styles make fights.

Prime For Prime...Wlad would beat Ali.

[Drunk Punch]

Comparing a Klitschko to Ali is just insulting.

[Steelhammer2011]

This is more mythology than actual fact and its perpetrated by the American boxing establishment.

If you actually go back and see someone like Sonny Liston fight you'll see that he's about as good as Travis Walker.

None of those old time Hw's would be able to compete with either Klitschko.

Imagine Frazier Klitschko?

lol...

Quoted for the truth.

Either Klitschko beats any heavyweight from any era.

[PEBBLES!]

Wlad only has a 1 inch reach advantage over Ali.

Vitali has the same reach as Ali.

[PEBBLES!]

Sonny Liston had a 4 inch reach advantage over Ali.
