The physiques of the guys in sports now are on a different level, and I think that says a lot. The problem with this argument is that it almost exclusively applies to Wlad! All the other heavyweights are in terrible condition relatively speaking. Since that is his primary opponent base, how is it that he has fought equivalent opposition, or am I over estimating the conditioning of old school boxers?

    You guys might be right about Ali, but what about Ali's career makes you guys think he wasn't fighting stiff competition? What is it about Foreman, Liston, and the others that makes them on the sam level as the Haye's and what not?
    most of Wlads opponents were in great condition. Ali fought allot of fat bums himself

      Did Sony Liston use his reach to his maximum potential or did he throw punches the equivalent of Ricky Hatton?

      Reach has nothing to do with it if you don't or can't use it, just ask Paul Williams.
      also reach is not the same as arm length.

      If you have a wide chest and broad shoulders your reach might be long even though you have short arms.

          That rope a dope bullshit won't work against Wlad.

          Feather fisted Ali can't stop Wlad.

          You can't outbox Wlad, it's impossible.

          Stylistically, Wlad is a nightmare matchup for Ali.

          Wlad by UD or late KO.

          Just look at that inferior weakling Ali.

          Either Klitschko destroys Ali.

          Either Klitschko beats any HW from any era.

              Also Wlad is much smarter than Ali. So I dont see Ali outsmarting Wlad.

              Ali had a low IQ thats why he didnt need to go to the army

                Your such a troll.

                Anyways, not directed to you becaue your a troll, but the only thing you can go off of is who they all beat. Your going purely off of size which is ridiculous. There are bigger guys out their then wlad.

                It's like saying David Lemiuex was the next tyson. because he knocked out everyone he faced in impressive fashion. How do we know anyone Wlad has faced is even remotely close to the level of guys in the 70's? In fact most if not all experts would say the guys of the 70's are superior... So of course Wlad looks impressive against nobodies, because he hasn't beat anyone who is even close to being a HOF'er. Not only that but he is scared to get hit..

                What would Wlad do as he got consistently hit by Ali? He hates getting hit. And trust me he would get hit all night. Wlad has the 1-2. He struggles to counter, and can barely throw a hook. The guy has far less skill then some give him credit for.

                    You're right.

                    These guys throw a hissy fit tantrum for me even slightly comparing Haye to Ali, to make a point.

                    Yet when it comes down to it, Wlad has fought opponents who at least somewhat resemble Ali in style and size. And the same cannot be said for Ali.

                      no. because you think that's all it takes. there's more to boxing than that, and Ali had shown us the "more than that" time and again. I've yet to see that from wlad.
