Deontay Wilder vs. Prime Muhammad Ali?

[Century Tuna]

I can't believe anybody votes for Muhammad Ali!

Might as well claim that Sugar Ray Robinson could beat up Wilder too.

Wilder KO1 Ali, under basically ANY circumstances!

Wilder is FASTER than most of Ali's opponents, longer than any, heavier, stronger, 5x more powerful and vastly more athletic.

Ali who merry go rounded his diminutive opponents safely out of range and irritated them with shoe shine combinations, trying this tactic with a 6'8" guy as quick as Wilder?

Ali, who had no reflexes whatsoever and was hit by the slowest of punches as soon as he was in range, against knockout specialist Wilder?

Ali, who was practically KOed by 185lb bummy mollusc Henry Cooper against the power of Wilder?

Wilder, who's inflated record is several times better than the record of ANY prime Ali opponent every was?

Total mismatch!

Sure Mister

Wilder is a bum beater. Correct. We are on the same page so far.

In Ali's day however there were a couple of guys with much worse records on Ali's resume. I am not talking about bummy opponents, I am talking about a couple of Ali's TOP opponents. Sonny Liston and Ken Norton. Even era and weight irrespective, these guys objectively had a record many times worse than Wilders!

Ironically, Ali never convincingly beat Liston, and Norton realistically beat him 3 times in a row. Ali is credited officially with 2 wins over Liston and 2 over Norton and they are considered even despite the controversies, 2 of his BEST opponents!

Wilder has limited skill BUT Ali himself ALSO had limited skill. Wilder is FASTER than Ali! Wilder has a stiffer JAB than Ali! Wilder doesn't run away, Wilder doesn't wrestle, he purely boxes (only 10% of Ali's performance can even be described as "boxing".

Wilder's physical advantages are so immense over Ali, it is physically impossible for Ali to even mount any kind of fight against him, let alone try to win!

Only the purest of nut bags think of Ali that way. And Stiverne, **** as he was, would still have knocked any HW from the 70's out.

You trash good current boxers...

And you support rudimentary ancient champs that boxed 50 years ago!

Great my friend

Thanks for digging this one up. Most of these idiots aren’t even on NSB anymore…
