I believe Muhammad Ali was great i Just believe the Klitschkos along with Lennox Lewis are too big for Ali. If George Foreman was a beast at 226 these guys would have been giants at 250 and 146 6'5 to 6'7
Ali wasn't superman. A 5'11" 220lbr with one working eye took him life and death. A slow plodding Foreman with no stamina was easily beating him on points until he gassed. (think this one is curcially important) That's my opinion anyway. I'm not saying he wasn't great I'm just saying i think people look at his career romantically a little too much based on how he looked , how he talked and the racial adversity he suffered. This is just my opinion but opinions are like assholes; everybody's got one. This is mine. No hatin' - just my view. I think the fights would be more competitive than people will admit. Who'd win? vs Wlad I could see Ali eeking a close decision. vs Vitali I'm sorry i just see a more technically gifted and fitter Foreman getting the better of Ali.....I mean Henry Cooper almost beat him in their first fight.
I 1000% agree. The Klitschkos have the best footwork and most fluid movement out of any heavyweights in boxing history. Their timing, physique, and flashy footwork would have given the best heavyweights FITS! Their footwork and movement EASILY rival their power and size.
i agree boxing history is all about context, a lot of people dont get that, rose tinted glasses and such
I have read some **** but that is ****in incredible. 1. Zack Clayton and both judges had Ali ahead. 2. Even if you didn't Ali was draining Foreman's aggression from the second round onwards, which was strategy. It's hardly like Foreman was outboxing him? 3. Learn to spell. un****INbelievable!
Lewis, prime Tyson and Klits would have beat Ali. Imo prime and in shape Lewis is the best heavyweight ever and would beat anybody.Ali is most overrated boxer ever.
Liston Twice, Patterson Twice, Norton Twice, Frazier Twice, Quarry Twice, Chuvalo Twice, Foreman, Lyle and Young. Kill yourself and make sure it ****in hurts!
I was wrong on the foreman / ali scorecards. I could have sworn Foreman was ahead, I'm only human. Putting that aside it doesn't change the fact Vitali is bigger, fitter and more technical than Foreman. Honestly, this is a boxing forum for debate but my word you mention Ali and his fans cut your balls off! They put extremists to shame with their zealot-like 1 dimensional vision of him. Cooper almost stopped him guys! Hello!?!? Wakey wakey!?!? Can you not at least entertain that someone not from the planet krypton could have beaten him with the right tools on the right day?
