wlad was probably faster of hand than liston imo but it probably wouldn't matter. he still wouldn't be able to land on a young ali either. that guy was lightning fast on his feet and would frustrate the hell out of wlad and this is coming from a wlad fan. I think older ali (post prison) would have had a much tougher time tho
How do you think prime Ali would have done in todays heavyweight scene?

you cant really believe this tho? that cooper hook was clean as hell and sneaky. ali shook it off and came back. the bigger slower guys today would have had much more trouble landing on aliOriginally posted by Freedom2014Ali would have been KOed cold by Wladimir Klitschko or Alexander Povetkin.
Even cheating by taking extra time to recover between rounds like he did against Henry Cooper wouldn't save him.Comment

Yeah, I mean the speed of Huck had Povetkin bending over and and getting his ass whipped. A fat Eddie Chambers was slapping him silly before he gassed.Originally posted by Freedom2014Ali would have been KOed cold by Wladimir Klitschko or Alexander Povetkin.

But Povetkin is KOing Ali cold, something no one ever did.
Always good for a laugh.Comment

Ali-Wlad would probably look like a cross between his fight with Terrell and Wlad's fight with Haye, with the difference being Ali would let his hands go when Wlad misses (something Haye froze on). Ali would respect Wlad's power but Wlad's lack of countering ability would work against him. Ali would get there first most of the time and outpoint him.
It would be God awful to watch.Comment

Ali would best suit himself to fight like Manny Pacquiao if he fought the giant Klitschko brothers. Ali could prove Algieri wrong and be better than Manny Pacquiao at fighting like Manny Pacquiao.

Logic dictates: Ali as HW champIm 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?

With that Footwork, Speed And Chin?
Ali would have a very easy time in this ERA of Heavyweight Box as well as most of the other Heavyweight ERA's that came after his
Ali would be considered "Boring" and a "Runner" seeing how ****** most of Today's Boxing Fans AreComment
