      Any version of Ali through the mid-70s would have toyed with Vlad. Way too much movement. Way too smart. Way too fast.

          No, just no. Wlad was head and shoulders above the guys you mentioned

            Ali decision, wide.
            Resume is pointless due to the fact wlad has the physical and fundamental advantages.

Ali knew it, played right into his hands, he was a master of manipulation and tactics.

                Wlad-Ali would be taking place in some air conditioned arena.
                Conditions are the same for both fighters though.

                    The conditions favored Ali who had superior stamina, fought conservatively, and had gone the distance multiple times in his career and in his last 5 fights, 60 rounds total.

                    Foreman was a bulldozer, fought very aggressively, he'd never fought past 10 I believe and his last 5 fights lasted a total of 9 rounds over 2 years.

Ali wouldn't be able to get past the jab of a guy like Wlad and if he did, that right hand would catch him Everytime. Ali was the more talented, gifted, fighter of the two but he was not a better technical boxer than Wlad. Thoughts?
                      No it's a mismatch. Ali would embarrass Wlad. Too fast too smart. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Wlad fight.
