I've forgotten more about the era we're discussing than you know and your inaccurate analysis of the most famous fight in history PROVES THAT. There is no such thing as the greatest fighter ever H2H and that includes Ali and Robinson. I give Lewis, Tyson, Holmes, Holyfield and maybe even Bowe (in their primes) an outside chance of beating Muhammad Ali. I don't give either Klitschko a chance because they are not in the same class as the fighters I mentioned in terms of skill set, not close!
Blasphemy!- Was long after their fight Shavers eye went bad and Shavers would have been a handful for a Klitschko if they fought today. Also have you seen Ali-Foreman? Few of Foreman's punches connected cleanly and Ali countered throughout the fight. I wouldn't even go as far to say Foreman was winning....
You"re head to head statement is correct . The KLIT statement is bizzar and extrordinarily bias .:think
atsch Ps DOUG YOUNG almost did it ? ALI needed the bell to save from from HENRY ? little JOE did it ? KEN did it . Funny thing is none of them where as big or skilled or POWERFUL as the KLITS . Just a thought .
Ali was 21 when he fought Cooper got knocked down and won, he beat Foreman when he was 34 i would not call it a prime, for me his prime was taken away, but i'm sure Ali version that beat Cleavland Wiliams and murdered Terrell would beat Klitschkos, size and strengh aint enough to beat Ali, K brothers are good but you are fantasizing their opponents are **** just compare them to Paterson, Frazier, Foreman, Liston...all of these would kill any chalenger that faced K brothers!!!
If you think either Klitschko has an equivalent or better skill set than Ali, Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson or Lewis, in their prime years, then I catagorically disagree with you. No bias from my side, mate!
Talk me through how the Klits deal with Ali here. What's the gameplan? There's no way either Klit beats a prime Ali. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJUzl0aFHZw[/ame]
Who the **** is Doug Young? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha MOST ****ED UP POST IN ESB HISTORY goes to The Boss! Cheers mate - you made my night!
First off Ali said Foreman was faster than people think. Power has not much to do with weight anyway. Ali would have had enough power to KO Wlad. He put Foreman out and George had a far better chin than Wlad. Foreman had 47 fights in his first career and got tired in 2 fights so he didnt have stamina issues. Ali would survive any Klitschko punch,they don't punch as hard as George or Liston. Ali KO's Wlad in 11 and Wins UD over Vitali.
the boxing knowledge in this thread is ****ing despicable! the General Forum at ESB is literally the biggest joke on the internet.
