    How do you think prime Ali would have done in todays heavyweight scene?

    Im talking strictly prime ali the one that fought terrell and liston pre layoff.

    I personally think he would have cleaned the division out and took wlads belt within 7 rounds, if pulev can rattle klitschko with slow jabs and straights this dude is a cherry pick for ali.

    Can you just imagine what how he would have dominated to all these guys lol?

    He would be undisputed HW champ.

    That is all.

    Carry on.

      Undisputed and undefeated Champ with ease! He'd also be hated more than Floyd especially after having nobody to challenge him with his boisterous mouth. The division would still be irrelevant due to no contenders.

        He'd probably sign with Al Haymon.

          No way. Ali would be well beloved.

          Ali was funny and intelligent in his braggadocio.

          Floyd is not.

          It's really that simple.

            Does he have Dundee in this hypothetical, or is he trained by Garcia or some ****

              Prime Ali before the forced 3.5 year layoff would beat everyone and he would have had no problem with Frazier. He was lightning fast and deadly accurate. The best there ever was and our ****** government made him stop fighting right in the middle of his prime. He was still great when he was allowed to fight again but never as great as before the forced 3.5 year retirement.

                I don't think he woudl do very well at all.

                Watch all of his fights an just analyze him as a fighter instead of just repeating hysterical praise for the character he was in the media and... Doesn't look good against today's HWs.

                  He was hated by a lot of people during his time... after he retired he got respected more. He was also a woman beater, cheated on spouse, used substances during fights that are now banned, a draft dodger, he gave up his birth name to turn ******, he called other blacks uncle toms and such so he would be a racist today, etc... Ali was not respected and loved by all. Joe Louis was a guy who would've been loved in any era.

                    Klitschko is the only one who would even be competitive. The rest of these slugs wouldn't even land a punch on 1960's Ali.
