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

[MotorCityJaguar]

None. When you consider styles and height and reach, The Klitchko's beat all of them easy.

Liston had much better reach than both Klitchkos. Many fighters on Ali resume had similar reach than both the Ukrainian brothers.
So where is this reach advantage for the Klitchkos?

[NoLove]

They all think they have the style to win until they get in the ring with either brother. It looks easy from the outside. They just do a simple one two. When your in the ring, it's a completly different senario.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Foreman and that is it. Not Vitali but Wlad. My 2c.

[Alx.]

only foreman, against vitali he might stop him on cuts, wlad he probably kos

if it sees 15 UD for both klitschkos

[bojangles1987]

Liston, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, and Holmes all could, and I'd pick Foreman and Holmes against both with little reservation.

We have to take into account that Ali did not always face his opposition at his very best, so it would be rather unfair to compare the best of the Klitschko brothers against Ali's competition.

A young, undefeated Olympic gold medalist Wladimir Klitschko failed in a test against journeyman Ross Puritty while at the exact same stage in his career Ali was defeating a feared heavyweight champion in Sonny Liston. Wladimir also later suffered losses to Sanders and Brewster. Unlike Ali, Wladimir got better as he got older though.

In Vitali's case he doesn't have any "bad" losses but he also doesn't have any great wins, so his track record at top level is rather unproven. He couldn't run through today's competition undefeated, so it's difficult to imagine him going without a loss against Ali's level of opposition. Imagine him having fought over 15 more fights against a higher level of competition, the injuries that bothered him would've added up even earlier. Vitali was matched rather soft during the first 30+ fights of his career.

[TheGreatA]

These are the prime abilities of Corrie Sanders. 28 years old, 23-0, difficult to claim he was nowhere near his prime considering that he actually put forth an effort in the training camp at this stage in his career and didn't just treat boxing as a hobby as he did later on.

[Dick Smokefield]

Between 20-25 fighters would beat a Klitschko.

Several of those could beat both.

Come on man, some of those dudes couldn't even hold Eddie Chambers's jock strap.

[Light_Speed]

Yet he dominated and gave Briggs the worst beating of his life. Briggs on the other hand owned and defeated George Foreman. Good try though asswipe

Foreman couldn't stop Tommy Morrison, nor could he stop some 17-7 record bum named Everitt Martin. What's your point?

We can play this game forever, neither one proves anything, but what it DOES prove is you're a moron because you STARTED the game and attempted to actually prove something by picking random names and trying to make an argument based on that whereas I'm just using your own game against you to prove how defective/ineffective and imbecilic you are.

He couldn't put a shot Briggs away but Lewis did it with a much fresher Briggs. LMAO everybody knows Foreman got robbed against Briggs and it was an old and out of shape Foreman.

I didn't start this game, you're the one who stated that Vitali would obliterate an ATG like Foreman. If you said beat or stop or outpoint, and used sound arguments then I would understand but "obliterate"? GTFO with this bull*****, that's why I mentioned guys that Vitali couldn't obliterate.

[betmen]

Because Sanders' stamina was better than Foreman's. Did you even watch his fight against Ali? Ali didnt' even hit him and Foreman was flopping all over the floor like an asthma victim.

It's funny that you selectively chose ONE random fight to conveniently make your argument. How about I play the game along with you. Let's see .....oh yeah Foreman was KTFO by a 6"2 midget named Jimmy Young. Yeah you know the guy that has 19 LOSSES.

How is FOREMAN going to even survive a single round versus Vitali if he got KTFO by a guy with 20 losses?


=Light_Speed's imbecilic logic.

LOL....
very very funny...
corry has speed alright, he has some power too. but he was 2 rounds fighter/
