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

What drugs are you on today man? Cotto vs Ali at 168? lmao I'm guessing meth, bath salts and krokodil

Why not? Like I said it would break all PPV records.

Ali would beat every single heavyweight today.

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?

The All Time Great Reggie Strickland and Ali would have been the fight to see. I think Strickland would have been the favorite just based on ring experience

Kovalev vs Ali would be like the Ismayl Sillakh fight.

He beats Stevenson IMO. Im not sure what would happen if he fought Bernard Hopkins. I think Ali would win the early rounds but then Hopkins finds a way to neutralize Ali's jab and close the distance. I think Bernard Hopkins by SD

um...who??

WTF? He would dismantle all of these plodding, garbage, HWs.

Like I said I doubt his management would let him fight in the HW divison, especially if Wlad is arround. They would probably do what Roy did. Fight the weakest belt holder then move back to Cruiser or LHW

Prime Ali today would be a dominant force. I mean he is universally remembered as one of the best heavyweights ever for many good reasons and today the division is a weak era in comparison to the one(s) he was on top of, so yes...

But Ali at 168? Come on man
