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

[Johnny Steele]

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?

Those guys you named are bums. I would favor Kenny Norton over all those mugs. Ali might actually kill them.

explain why he would beat the top heavyweights from this era

Ali would have too much stamina... speed... heart and IQ for today's robots.

They're just too slow and fragile.

[Kigali]

In this era and the past decade no, he'd be a success at cruiser, likely the best of all times, but he'd have no place in this current era of 'super' heavy.

You don't know **** from supper

[Kigali]

So a 210lbs Ali who is 3 inches shorter than Wlad is going to dance around the ring, pull his head back then presumably counter Wlad?

I dont think youre giving Wlad enough credit, he knows how to use distance effectively hence why his jab is so effective. Its not just powerful, he knows when to throw it and how to keep smaller opponents at a distance.

People overrate Ali but the fact is he struggled and lost against guys in his career whom Wlad would beat comfortably.
In his prime (60s) he fought smaller and shorter fighters, he was huge back in the day but now he would be considered a small heavyweight.

Pulling your head back and bouncing on your toes works better against shorter slower opponents, but against bigger athletic heavyweights such like as Klitscko and Lennox Lewis? Most likely not.

You act like Vlad doesn't pull his head back

At least Ali was quick about it.

Vlad couldn't even handle Ross Purrity...let alone Lamon Brewster

Those two couldn't hit Ali with rice at a wedding.


Ali would clown Vlad with EASE..

[Kigali]

what it means is people glorify the past and dont appreciate what they have in front of them

not when what they have in front of them is ****.

Fighter's aren't better because of the date....dummy

Ali had a couple of great fights, but he is overrated.

Overrated is when you get KTFO in a weak era....to people like Ross Purrity and a professional golfer

Yea but before assuming that I am a Wlad fan, go find yourself a cave to hide in, you troll. Vitali is my favorite of these two. That being said, Wlad would hurt Ali and give him a run for his money.

Vlad KEEPS HIS FEET TOO FAR APART

Because of that...

Ali would EASILY out-flank him and fire from ANGLES all night long....

....because unlike Vlad....he wouldn't get tired.

Vlad would be exhausted by the pace alone...not to mention the non-stop punches flying in at him.
