    With the access to modern trchnolgy, supplements and equipment, Ali would be a whole new beast and he would dominate. He would also be hated like Mayweather, people don't realise that he ot a lot of hate when he was fighting and after he retired is when people looked at him with admiration. He would be looked a t like a Lara as he is hard to beat but uses a lot of movement.

      - At heavyweight there's really never anybody in the top 10 that he would be able to beat with any kind of credibility to be there.

      - There is the chance for him to bum his way to the top ten of course but todays bums are significantly tougher than the bums that Ali fought so it's very difficult to imagine Ali ever making an apperarance on a world stage.

      - Muhammad Ali's main income today would come from marketing himself as a sparring partner for real HW's so they might become accustomed to smaller faster opponents in preparation for a fight with David Haye or something like that.
      The ****ing truth right here, you bums pay attention.

Someone like young Tyson stylistically would be a nightmare for Wlad. I don't think Wlad makes it out of the first with him but kos Ali late.
        Ali had the best chin, he wouldnt go down from klitschkos shots. He would probably use footwork and speed to get around wlad and flurrys to score points and maybe even tko vlad. But probably win by ud.

              Utter domination.

              The rest of the division would be subject to his whim. Abject ******.

                He wouldn't get past Bryant Jennings with his modern day training and nutrition and etc.

                Too much chin, too much modern.

                  He would be top 5 but wouldnt be as great.

                  I know the hate is gonna come but i do not think he can beat Wlad. I know wlad is just jab and right but his size changes the game so much that i dont think Ali would be able to do what he did.

                    Conveniently fail to mention Wlad is clearly past prime.

                    Wlad is too big for Ali get over the emotion and use logic, Ali would put up a good fight but Wlad is too strong.

                    Not to mention how easily he would dominate Fraizer and Foreman, Vitali vs Fraizer would be an exact copy of Vitali vs Chisora (Chisora and Fraizer are very similar in talent and style)

                      Ali would make Wlad look like Nikolai Valuev.

                      Wlad has nothing on Ali. He's too slow to compete at that level. People see how Wlad was dealing with Jennings very unconvincingly even though he won every round. Ali would have toyed with him with ease.
