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

[Kigali]

I agree.

I mean if duhaupas, molina and the pin can't do it, no-one can

I still haven't heard Joshua utter Wilder's name.

He's clearly not as confident as his stans.

he will never utter the name

if you say it 3 times in a mirror then turn round deontay appears and windmills you

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.

Ali never fought anyone as big and technically good as Wlad ever

Henry Cooper almost knocked Ali out, and he would have if the round didnt end.

The truth is nobody knows how Ali would compete against the likes of Klitscko, Lewis etc because he never fought guys that size with their skill.

The biggest guy he fought was George Foreman and he was 220lbs at 6'3.5.

Read this blog and some of the content in it and it would answer your question you've posed in this thread:

http://www.heavyweightblog.com/

It seems like some of the users here are simply deluded and living in fantasy or are extremely ignorant about how much heavyweight boxing has evolved and changed. There's a lot of bias involved with past 'great' heavyweights pre 1990's.

There's no sure measure stick to this, but I believe great fighters always adapt and find a way to win. I believe he'd still win over those guys. Prime best version of klit, was also hard to beat. I think he can out speed most of whom you mentioned.

Ali is my favorite HW ever!...

... but, these days, he would rather belong to CW, tbh...

This pretty much sums Muhammad Ali up! It was well known that Muhammad Ali was a lazy trainer, and basically only trained to his level of competition (He could win fights out of shape, that's how gifted her was!) It was only when he had genuine fear of his opponent did he train really hard. After his ban, he was basically his own boss! Dundee was just a head coach! If Ali was around today, with all these super-heavyweights social media and plenty of footage too study, i think he would have a different attitude to training.

He would definitely be one of the best!

With todays knowledge, diet, training, steroids he would likely be a much better fighter himself. JUst like Joshua would have been weaker in the 70s

[Willy Wanker]

I think Ali would definitely be the man at heavyweight today. Wlad would be his toughest challenge, but Ali still wins. He'd comfortably outbox Joshua, Fury, and Ortiz and he would probably stop Wilder.

He's 6'3" with a long reach. He would be smaller, but won't be completely dwarfed against the monster HWs today. And size isn't everything anyways.

[ThatDude44]

Yes, he'd be the best because of his feet. No other heavyweight has fast feet or even mobile at all.
