Would you favour any Heavyweight in the history of boxing to beat Prime Ali?

Sup Tunney.

Gene Tunney?

I guarantee that if a poll was taken of the biggest and best wins any fighter ever had, Ali over Foreman would be up there, if not the fight most mentioned.

Ali had lost twice in his comeback, Foreman was one of the most intimidating forces the division had ever seen, he had obliterated the two fighters who beat Ali, both in two rounds, and everyone thought Ali's health was in jeopardy. Ali knocked him out in eight, that was inconceivable, pretty much everyone agreed. Not to mention all the pre-fight pageantry.

It's not crazy at all to say Ali KO8 Foreman was the greatest win ever, it's up there.

I think it is. Foreman was very one dimensional at that time. He would have virtually no chance to survive a fight with the current Wlad or any Vitali.

Santa Claus is coming to town... Are you getting ready for the Easter Bunny too?

I think you belong on a holiday or cartoon website. I'm done taking you seriously or responding to you.

[Mr. Invincible]

I doubt we'll see one.

Here is mine

1. Ray Leonard over Marvin Hagler
2. Muhammad Ali over Big George
3. Douglas shocking Tyson
4. Joe Louis over Max Schmeling
5. Henry Armstrong over Barney Ross (126 lb champ beating the 147 lb champ)
6. Harry Greb over Gene Tunney
7. Cassius Clay over Sonny Liston
8. Jake Lamotta over Ray Robinson
9. Joe Frazier over Muhammad Ali
10. JC Chavez Sr. Over Meldrick Taylor/Foreman over Moorer

I could name 6 off the top of my head easily that top Ali-Foreman, but I'm not going to just start making lists of anything just because some smoothbag asked me too.

lol George Foreman would have destroyed Wlad.

[Mr. Invincible]

Prime Ali nobody gets near him, the latter version still beats them all but has to work a lot harder doing it.

This prime Ali was dropped and lost rounds. How you think nobody gets near him is beyond me. When was the last time Vitali or Wlad legitimately lost a round?

[Mr. Invincible]

After the ****** stuff you've said, I'm not bothering talking to you man. You're just trolling.

What I say you disagree with so you call it ****** and trolling. You are just stuck on the whole legend status of Ali like the rest of these clowns. It's a sham. He was a hero for the black community but he was way overrated as a fighter.

******ed video, Wepner stepped on his foot, no one falls like that from a body shot.

[Mr. Invincible]

if an asthmatic overweight shot to pieces Briggs can go 12 rounds while being ****** in the head freely, then yes, granite chin Chuvalo can go 12-15 rounds with Vitali Dr. not so iron fist

Lol, Briggs was not shot coming off 3 x 1st rd ko wins, played defense and is 6' 4" & weighed like 262 lbs. The giant Chuvalo at the time was 6' even and weighed 216 lbs. He gets annihilated by Vitali in 5 or less rounds if Vitali wants to dispatch him. If you seriously think otherwise I don't know what else to make of this thread.

[Mr. Invincible]

this question gets asked more often then you'd think. personally i don't think anyone can know for sure seeing as ali lost almost 4 years of his prime that we never got to see.

with that said, only Louis, Lewis and both klistcko's have a shot, with vit and lewis having the best odds. imo.

That's a very good, rational post. Well said. I don't know why these guys don't understand this and think Ali is some unbeatable messiah at that time because he ran his mouth well. I guess everyone has to have a roll model.
