    Wladimir wont be able to use his jab effectively as he would be consistently out of range.

    I see Ali stopping him late.

    Ali before he was banned from boxing would've cut Wlad to ribbons. No contest, one sided dance and jab fest. Wlad and Vitali are truly being overrated. Both have failed in the biggest fights of their life. I've always liked Vitali though.

    Wlad is being undersold here.

    He's been champ for a while now and it's for a reason...It should be noted that Wlad was past his best for the Haye fight though. His combination punching just isn't there like it used to be and it's been that way for a few fights now.


    I think Ali is truly the GOAT and would favor him over any Klitschko though. Ali was a one in a gazillion talent.

    Prime Ali was hospitalized by George Chuvalo. Chuvalo lost the decision which was debatable then Chuvalo went to a dance with his wife.

    But he dominated Chuvalo, so what's your point? And ali didn't fight his best fight that night and still won easy.

    If you took the strength of Waldo's chin and multiplied it by 1,000 it still wouldn't be anywhere close to Chuvalo's chin.

    Wlad only has an extra inch on reach, which would be easily negated by Ali's footwork. Ali would outjab Wlad.

    I think Ali would UD Wlad. I dout he could stop him though. Wlad as a boxer is a bit more than his loss to a certain part time golfer.

    Will fall on deaf ears. Noone wants to hear his strengths. Its too easy to talk about his chin

    The point is Wladimir is way more competive then the poll suggests. And I for one think Wladimir would win. And I am going to set the record straight that Ali was no super human compared to Wladimir. If anything its the reverse.

    And if Ali dominated the fight how come he went to the hospital with a ruptured liver and kidneys? And he had bad enough internal bleeding to cause death if not for modern medician. Meanwhile Chuvalo danced the night away with his wife. Don't sound like no domination to me.

    Wladimir Klitschko fights nothing like Chuvalo. Chuvalo was a pressure fighter, with a cast Iron jaw. Wladimir, is a very passive, patient jabber who takes his time and never takes chances in fights. I don't see the logic in this unless your gonna tell me that styles don't make fights. Let me ask you this though, Had ali brought his best like he did against Liston, and Cleveland Williams did you think the fight would of still been as competitive? Or do you Ali would of done a paint job on Chuvalo?
