    The classic section changed a lot. That's for sure.
    Or may be I am living too much on the past.

    Yeah man Klits definitely hit hard, Just like Wladmir Kod Haye and Vitali Kod Byrd and they would Ko the glass jawed Ali.

    Foreman/Liston couldnt manhandle Ali but somehow these two Klit turds will do it.

    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, the klits wont be able to hit, what their eyes cant see :hi:

    Haye unlike Ali had d power&speed combination 2 threaten Wladimir , not 2 mention Wladimir is 35 , not in his prime anymore and Haye fights nothing like Ali . Haye is a quick HW too , quicker than mid 70s Ali whom was around d pick of his durability . D 60s Ali was about as quick as Haye , but not durable and not powerful enough either .
    Ali might last d distance if he chose to backpedal for his dear life like he did almost every time , but he couldn't land anything this way against a Klitschko and d occasional jab will sometimes still find its mark on Ali's face after Ali tires from running sideways and reverse ..
    And Ali could never outmuscle some1 like either Klitschko .
    Like I typed : either Klitschko could beat Ali in his own game .
    Fly like a butterfly sting like a b could only work against Sonny Liston and his likes , not against head far above , arms reach everywhere , stay away hit from far robots . Ali was only a more athletic version of Wladimir , due to him being smaller , but because of this reason he was also weaker , had less range and needed that athleticism in first place . Against a Klitschko it doesn't work . Ali was not as evasive as Chris Byrd , even in d 60s , Douglas Jones and Henry Cooper proved it . And as evasive as Chris Byrd was , it didn't work that well for him vs. Wladimir , nor it would have worked well for Haye against a prime Vitali .

    Ali would have trouble with either of the brothers. They are big clumsey guys that are not being challenged today. Their fights are cheery picked and circus shows.
