It was a good lick. Thompson wore it like a shirt. But he did get up, he just laid back down again in the 6th like the bum that he is.
Wlad's height and reach would initially cause problems. However,once Muhammad adapted to this,he'd outspeed the giant Ukrainian. Moving in and out,and maybe scoring more to the body than he usually did. Ali by clear decision.
The next time he is in a great fight will be the first. You lap him up, and derogate Jack Johnson,both boring ,safety first fighters.:huh Ali was in many great fights against great fighters. Wlad has never been in a great fight , nor fought a great fighter,and he has been stopped by journeymen. Again no valid comparison can be made.
how can wlad even be mentioned with ali?ali stands on his own merits,he never lost to any journey men or has beens.
Vlad is the classic,`frint runner` Against fighters that are soft, and have no chance of winning, he controls it. But even that is not a certainty... Can anyone imagine Ali losing ( or getting stooped by) the likes of Brewster or Sanders / Plus, Vlad has not shown that he could fight against tremendous adversity and come back to win, Which is what Ali did on many occasions against some of the greatest heavies of all time... Bad chin, questionable heart, slow footed, do you really think he beats the fastest hands and feet the heavies have ever seen ???
/signed. I'm going to try to be as frank as you in the future Sir when it comes to this subject again. :good
Wlad vs. Ali? How absurd. Ali would look like a little kid in there with Wlad or Vitali. All he would be able to do would be to try to run away. Ali couldn't even legitimately beat fighters weighing in the 180's like Jones and Cooper and even Alonzo Johnson. At least half of his fights were won by cheating one way or another. Clay-Ali is the biggest boxing hype job in history whereas the Klitschkos are far and away the greatest heavyweights in history.
