Would you have more respect for Wladimir if

Ali KOs Wlad within 8, easily

Ha!

Show me a decent opponent that Ali KOed easily at all.

We can't see the opposite because Wladimir is not even allowed to face opponents as weak as Ali!

Wlad is a great fighter but he is plagued by a weak chin and his cardio is not very good. Fighting ultra aggressively and throwing almost exclusively power punches like he did early in his career against Purrity, Sanders and Brewster will only serve to expose those vulnerabilities.
His style of fighting is not exciting but it is extremely effective and makes him very hard to beat.

Lewis and Foreman would both KO him, he may possibly beat Ali if he sticks to his gameplan.
