Which Klit would give Ali a tougher fight?

[Derranged]

Vitali or Wladimir.. Who gives Ali the tougher fight?

Poll is on the way.

The question is not whether or not they'd beat Ali, its who'd give the tougher fight. I have to emphasize that because I guarantee people will ignore it.

Good question, I think Vitali does personally. He's not going anywhere and will be throwing until the end.

Although I still see Ali boxing him well and winning comfortably.

I could see Wlad getting worn down to a stoppage but, not Vitali.

How is anyone supposed to NOT vote for the Larry Merchant option? It makes too much sense.

I actually think Wlad would, thinking about it. Vitali is too open and unconventional, he's not beating Ali with his hands down. Wlad's technical ability might make him harder to hit than Vitali would be for Ali.

To be clear, I think Ali smokes both of them.

I thought about that as well but, Vitali can take a lot more punishment than Wlad. I think that's the deciding factor here.

It's multi-choice so everyone can pick the Merchant one and still vote for either Wlad, Vit or not sure.

Wladimir. Better jab, better boxing skills that could maybe disrupt Ali's rhythm. I think Ali beats both, but I see Wlad having the better choice.

Id actually go with Wlad,Vitali is much touger and would probably last the distance but Ali would land at will and his mobility would give VK fits,whereas WK would have some success with his jab

It's actually a really tough choice between the two because Wladimir is the better boxer with the better jab, footwork and defence and that combined with his size also would cause Ali some problems.

Vitali however causes Ali problems because he's far more durable, mentally tougher and fights at a much higher pace than Wladimir and he's not exactly poor in the boxing ability department either.

It's close but my vote goes to Vitali.

Being mentally strong and durable plus with skills is always a key ingredient when it comes to trying to beat Ali or at least be competitive and Wladimir lacking that toughness and durability would cost him.

I do think Ali would beat both fighters decisively.

I agree with this.

People don't realise how much of an attrition fighter Ali was either. Pounding Liston to submission, wearing down Foreman. Those guys were tough! Make no mistake about that and he gave them some of their only KO losses.

Wlad would in a boring jab filled chess match between the two.
