How many fighters on Ali's resume could beat the Klitschkos?

Damn, and you call Klitschko fans stupid. What irony.

Originally posted by Mr. Invincible View PostI agree Frazier in particular had a ton of heart and would have tried until his inevitable demise. That said, he doesn't have any more heart than say, Miguel Cotto who was also still FORCED to quit against Marg and Pacman. That would be the difference. He may want to continue, but the Klitschko's are too big and have way too diverse of a skill set to lose in that era. Ali is the only one who could beat them and that would be by cuts or outboxing them. I will honestly say this: Ali is the only heavyweight ever who I would say is even close to 50/50 when it comes to sheerly outboxing the current Wladimir or Vitali.
If u believe Klitchko would beat him then while i disagree its fair enough but if u think Klitchko throwing out arm punches and jab after jab is gonna deter Smokin Joe Frazier then i assure you u are wrong.
Im not one of these guys who hate on the Klitchko boys and refuse to rate them - they are top class, but i cant get down with your post this time dude

Originally posted by Superflo777 View PostSo according to you, getting knocked down by Henry Cooper and winning the fight is a sign of Ali's greatness, but getting knocked down by hard-hitting Sam Peter three times and STILL winning the fight on all three scorecards is not much of an accomplishment, right?
Damn, and you call Klitschko fans stupid. What irony.

Originally posted by Cutthroat View PostGuys like Frazier were in tremendous shape, the guy went 14 rounds in a war with Ali in 107 degree weather with nearly 100 percent humidity these guys were in phenomenal shape. Just because they weren't 240lbs doesn't mean they'd be man handled, most guys today are nothing but fat and that fat doesn't help them at all.
He had a lazy man's style of fighting to keep from tiring. Just like we all acknowledge that Wlad changed his style to conserve energy, the same can be said for Frazier.
Have him fight at a faster pace than he usually does, plodding forward with hooks, and he would've tired out like anyone else.

I think Foreman and Holmes would definitely beat Wladimir.
Shavers would have a good punchers chance against Wladimir also.
I think Holmes would beat Vitali but it would be close.
I don't see any other guys beating Vitali though.
