    Would Ali be the best HW in today's era?

    He was a great technician who took the sports t new heights but how would he deal with the super heavy weights of this era like Ortiz, Joshua, Klits, and Wilder?

        I'm not one of these guys who is enamored by Ali but I'd still place him over anyone today. Easily in fact. That speed and fluidity would overcome any of the big, stiff monsters we've got in our top 5.

          The Klits have been destroyed by far lesser figthers than Ali.

          Joshua doesn't have the speed and stamina to compete.

          Ortiz...that old man couldn't do anything with Malik Scott.

          Wilder gets clowned just like all the rest.

            Well he'd need to add muscle and be heavier to really compete with the super heavyweights today, competing at 210lbs against someone like a 245 klit or 250lbs Joshua would be a disadvantage.
            If he was bigger and retained his speed/sharpness which could be done then yea he'd be in the mix

            Its hard to say because his style of dancing/leaning back from punches could land him in a lot of trouble with tall heavy guys, I dont see him getting away from Klitsckos jab.

              That proves you don't know ****.

              Ali doesn't have to add anything to whip on these slow-motion robots.

              Ross Purrity didn't have any trouble with the dreaded Klit jab.

              Byrd made Vitali quit on his stool...he's a drop in the bucket compared to Ali.
