    If Muhammad Ali was in his prime today, would he be a dominant force in his division?

    I really dont see anyone in the cruiserweight division that would give Ali any problems except maybe for Pablo Hernandez. Even if Cunningham and Haye moved back to cruiserweight, it would still be a 50/50 fight against Ali.

    Ali could even go to the HW division when wladimir retires and win some belts. He would definitly have a great shot at beating some of the smaller Heavyweights.

    But I rather see Ali going down to light heavyweight and fight Stevenson or Kovalev. Maybe even Ward and Froch if they move up. Allot great fights could be made in the Light Heavyweight divison.

    Hell if Cotto beats Martinez, He could fight Ali for a super middleweight title. That would break all PPV records. But I think Ali would be too weight drained as a super MW.

    What do you guys think of those matchups if Ali was in his prime today?

          You guys dont believe one of the best cruiserweights in history would be a dominant force today?

          I know Ali never fought East Europeans. But thats not his fault. He fought the best that was available.

                Broner, it's too soon to be trying to think.

                Go get some rest, champ.

                Edit: Weight class troll; good one.

                  Why in the world would Ali fight at SMW or LHW? And there's no way Ali vs. Cunningham or Haye is a 50/50 fight. Ali would fight as a HW and he would stand a very good chance of beating Wladimir. The rest of the HW division wouldn't be much problem at all.

                    Nah I doubt Ali's management would put him against Wladimir. They would probably do what Boystov and Wilder are doing. Wait till Wladimir is retired then go for a title. So I think Ali would first get titles at Light HW and Cruiserweight.
