he he beat ali .... that is a bold claim ...

teofilo will be competitive ONLY in the first three rounds ... everybody know Cuban Heavyweights can only PEAK three rounds ...

i forgot the Cuban Figther who faced Bowe, what was his name again...that guy beat Bowe in the amateurs but he got owned at the pros...

I haven't seen much footage of Teofilo Stevenson, but from what I've read and heard, he is maybe the greatest amateur fighter of all time. George Foreman once said that Stevenson could have become professional world champion any time he wanted.

I don't think Stevenson could have beaten Muhammad Ali though. We all know how great Ali was. Not only was he a great fighter, he was also used to fighting professional fights over several rounds. If Stevenson was moved directly from the amateur scene and put in a 15-rounder against Ali, he would be manhandled something terrible.

It's a good thing that fight never happened.

I personally think that Stevenson could have beaten Ali

Not a chance. A Cuban amateur going into a 15 rounder with someone like Ali? Stevenson would get a real whuppen.

I Really dont think he would have got destroyed I`ll be honest with you, Have you guys ever seen this guy fight he was a one of a kind and I know that Ali was to, all Im saying is I think Stevenson had the style to beat Ali but we will never know
