    Yeah, Wlad struggled to land anything clean on David ****ing Haye but he's going to outbox Ali.

    I think the fight would be highly competative. Ali is brilliant in the ring, but he would come to fight. He wouldn't run and go into defense mode like Haye did. Tough to call.

    No questions asked. Any Ali up to 1977. Cassius Clay would've KO'd him in 4 just like an old Archie Moore!

    1. I bet you are.
    2. No, actually it isn't.

    Nope. We've got the fight clips, we can watch them side by side, along with their opponents, side by side.

    Prime for Prime, Wlad gets beat in a boxing clinic of how to beat a bigger man, Ali had too much boxing IQ and too much skill for Wlad. UD.
    Has Vlad ever been in a 15 round war? If not. Probably a late KO, or TKO.

    Haye easily has Ali athleticism with a harder punch and he was dominated.

    Ali would put up a braver fight though

    People don't appreciate that guys like Mormeck, Thompson and Albert Sosnowski would have been champions and ATG's in any other era

    It doesn't get more unathletic than Joe Frazier, you saw what he did to Ali didn't you?

    you can stick up a picture of Charles Atlas or Arnold Swharzaernagger or the present Mr Universe but it still dont mean they are going to beat Ali in the ring.

    More atheletic. All of that muscle is not good for boxing. In fact it's not good for much of anything -- except the beach. Think of the most elite atheletes that you know (Jordan, Ray Lewis, LBJ, MMA fighters for christ's sake), none of them look like body builders.

    Body builders are good at what they do, building muscle. They generally can't run fast, throw fast or far, jump high etc. They also can't expend the energy needed to throw punches for three minutes while trying not to get hit at the same time. Boxers have lean muscle mass and very low body fat (on fight night), but having excess muscle hypertrophy on muscles you are not going to use to punch or dodge punches is an inefficient waste of your limited body weight.
