This is a genuine question out of interest what people think, not a troll attempt. Lets say there is only ONE belt too, like in the olden days. ONE CHAMPION.

He'd be a top contender but would struggle against the elites like Wlad and Povetkin.

Exactly. An All Time Great like Jennings went the distance with Wlad, making him very uncomfortable, winning rounds. I can only imagine how much worse Ali would do.

Ali has never faced a man as tough as Shannon Briggs

Arreola would eat Ali alive
