Prime Ali vs Prime Wlad

[cupocity303]

Ali tko mid rounds, very competitive though.

Anyone that knows boxing knows ali could punch, his and srl power is severely underrated because people chose to focus on their razzle dazzle and other more eye catching attributes.

Ali TKO mid rounds, against a proven First-Class championship Caliber fighter?

How many times did a prime Ali go all 15 rounds against guys you and I can't even name, off the top our head without looking at Boxrec?

He floats like a Butterfly and stings like a butterfly for 15 rounds on ESPN Classic, every other week. I KNOW, I've seen the fights. BORING AS HELL.

Nothing like Ali vs Cleveland Williams, this is extra effort on Ali's part not the usual.

i can only see this fight being super boring, no one could really land on anyone, i'd lean towards ali because he has more heart and faster hands/flashier combo's can sway the judges, either like that or ali by tko just because wlad tends to fold after being hurt or knocked down

tough fight for both men

I dont see Wlad beating any of the past great champions. Maybe 2nd tier guys like Norton, Braddock, Spinks, Patterson, but all the elites take care of him.

Ali wins TKO 11
Dempsey wins KO 5
Joe Louis wins KO 1
Foreman wins KO 3
Lennox wins KO2
Holyfield wins SD 12
Bowe wins TKO 8
Vitali wins TKO 10

All of the above are MULTI-DImensional fighters. Peter was Power and nothing else, Chambers was defense and nothing else. A fighter with multiple attributes beats Wlad. Like Sanders: Speed/Power/Experience.

Like Sanders: Speed/Power/Experience.

Still bringing up the Sanders fight? That has as much relevance to today as Singsurat's win over Pacquiao. Do you judge Lewis on his loss to McCall?

"Too robotic to beat Ali".

What a simpleton statement, if I ever heard one.

I suppose George Foreman was also robotic, certainly according to Ali he was. Since he called him a Mummy.

But could George Foreman dominate fighters for 12 rounds straight just with a jab, basic technical fundamentals and Moderate footwork? Don't worry, I'll answer. NO, he couldn't.

I think Ali would have control Wlad,once again Wlad is to slow and very robotic..Foreman was dominate because of his power not his skill..He was another one who does not have good foot work Ali was right to call him a mummie(lol)..Wlad has a size advantage and uses it but he is fighting in a HW era that is very weak..It has nothing to due with the date,Lennox fought in the 90's their was better comp inthose days then there is now..Norton Holmes had better skill sets imo and Foreman is a better puncher then Wlad..Do you believe Wlad beats any of these fighters??
