Hmm, if you watch the Norton and Young fights.. Then you will see that Ali struggles against a good jab.. How would he deal with Wlad's jab?
Wlad would mostly have his way with Ali. Think of more mobile, tougher, meaner, less powerful David Haye. That's not a good recipe. Haye's only shot was a KO, but he had to protect that chin. Ali won't hurt Wlad easily, doesn't go to the body or fight at a fast pace or on the inside (all keys to beating Wlad imo). Ali is a much better fighter, but we're talking about a relatively average-sized cruiserweight fighting Wlad. Ali's style is not geared toward fighting much bigger opponents, especially ones as good as Wlad. And while I think Ali would probably make it to the final bell, allow me to add that Vitali is the one who would murder Ali.
Hey mother****er! Ali was 6'3 clearly! and Ali would eat Wlad's shots and TKO him late. Wlad is great but he dosent deserve to shine Ali's boots. Foreman hit harder than Wlad and Ali took those shots.
Just include "Klitschko" in the headline and you're safe to see the same ten people arguing time and time again. Don't you fools get tired of hating/dick riding the Klits?
I knew you were gonna go that route, i should clarified in my first post. I take your points but it is the manner in which he was defeated that wrangles. Like i said 'seeking the safety of the canvas' rather than be KOed or fight your way back into it or just weather the storm, is something none of the fighters you listed are guilty of. Wlad is now an excellent heavyweight, there is no denying it. But if his heart is ever called into question you know he's gonna fold like he has done before. This is what a lot of people will always think about him no matter how much he's improved or how long ago his defeats were. By the way Hopkins was fresh out of jail and didn't have the amateur pedigree of Wlad. Has for the others, not one of them looked for the safety of the canvas out of fear. That is my point mate.
ali was past his prime in 3 rd norton fight..............ali easily beat norton in the 2nd fight in fact ali won the first 5 rds easily:---(
ali was way past his prime in the 3rd norton fight..............and just finished getting his legs kicked by anoki:hi:
Norton and Young both fought out of semi-crouches against Ali. Wlad fights standing straight up, so won't be firing the jab from the same trajectory as those two. If you want to see how Ali fared aginst jabs thrown from taller, straight up fighters, check out his fight with Terrell (who had a very good jab in his own right).
your realy that stupid as to not be able to see what happend there? Wlad punched himself out .. after whooping his ass... he was a kidd in that fight .. but i guess you have to use what you have :good
