Wlad probably would've beaten Ali

[HarvardBlue]

When your best argument is "probably would've" you already lost.

[Ray Corso]

Ali would make Wlad reset his feet all night long and be in and out on him. The talk about Ali not having a good punch is ridiculous, when Ali went to the center of the ring and spread his stance out he was ready to **** and he has the power to hurt anyone.
His foot speed and hand speed is far superior to ANY heavyweight ever! Wlad would look like a robot in with Ali and become more one dimensional than he already was.

Watch the Terrell fight and look at Ali's hand speed, Wlad has NEVER been in with anyone that fast.

ATG against a guy who never fought a great boxer in his career
is a stretch to beat the greatest!

99% of the guys calling you ridiculous would put their $$$ on Wlad when nobody was looking.

Fewer people buy into that golden domestic era icons **** than pretend to.

You don't even need to bring up the size disparity. The boxing itself was slop, the talent pool was smaller, the standards were lower.

Ali was much better fighting backwards than forward. But Wlad would've had a hell of a time landing solid and he'd likely run out of gas from Ali's movement.

This is how I see it as well. It would be Ali-Foreman again only it wouldn't happen till the late rounds. Wlad would give him trouble for sure, but he'd run out of gas and get stopped in my opinion.

Man the guys here on the Ali wagon.. You guys are living in a fantasy, or are simply pretending to...
He was good but all the hype is exaggerated because Ali was a loudmouth, and the fighters back in the day were so inferior to this era’s fighters...
It’s like cars from the 70s... take any of that era’s huge barges who appear really heavy and solid,and crash it against a full size Impala or Camry of today, and see how that big solid thing just gets obliterated by this era’s cars.
Same would happens with those great fighters from the past...

Absolutely right!

Those guys did what Joshua couldn't they beat a young strong version of Wlad, good for them.

Joshua couldn't beat a post retired 42 year old Wlad, and had to have a gift stoppage while unleashing a flurry of punches on Wlad's gloves, elbows and air.

Ali would have mentally ruined both Klitschko brothers before outpointing them

The Klitschko's are mentally weak. Vitali pussed out against Byrd in a fight he was winning. Wlad promised to make Haye into a pizza face yet didn't do a damn thing even after having Haye give him **** to his face. Chisora tortured both brothers all fight week, exceeded expectations and suddenly the Vitali will destroy Chisora chants on Saturday morning turned into OH Vitali was injured doe excuses to justify his **** performance. That's without mentioning Wlad getting mind ****ed by Tyson Fury, who mentally tortured him and even dressed up as Batman

Ali is the master of mind games, he'd mentally mind **** both brothers before the fight even begins. As to the fight itself, load up Ali with modern day science and nutrition (as all the cool pharma bros call it) and he'd be picking apart Wlad even worse than Fury did

A hell of a lot worse fighters than Muhammad Ali took Wlad's jab away. If Wlad can't jab, then he looks awful. He can't set anything up. Ali had outstanding and fast footwork that would keep Wlad tentative the entire fight. And while Wlad was tentatively pawing with that left hand, trying to figure out range, Ali's fast hands would blister him.

I think Ali is one of the worst historical match-ups for Wlad.
