Chris Byrd made Vitaly quit in the ring. Ali would make him quit before he ever signed the contract, just like Rahman did. "Oh, I hurt myself. I need to retire for 4 years and juice back up. Ok, Im back! Line up one tomato can after another and let my nuthuggers claim what a great resume I have!" Lol...Vitaly over Ali.....you should be taken out back and shot!
Ali (pre or post exile until 1975), Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe and Lewis beat Vitali simply because he's slow. The End.
Vitali might win but it would not be an easy fight. The younger Ali would give Vitali a lot of trouble just finding him because he would be sticking and moving. The older Ali I think that Vitali would probably dominate because there is no way he could rope a dope with someone as big and as powerful as Vitali.
A young vitali was not that slow, he nearly killed a lightning fast Herbie hide who was bigger then ali was (and yes i know he is not in the same league as him), if he did get near him, then ali is dead meat simple as that, if he sticks and moves all night, then i would favour him, but if trys to engage him or rope a dope etc, vits would KO him
And ali got dropped heavy by henry cooper and was lucky as **** he was not stopped, if his corner had not cut his glove he would have lost so shut the **** up, every fight is different as most on here know. Vits chin was iron, and no way does ali try to get to close, BUT no one can say for sure if he could move away all night with a giant bearing down on him with a iron chin and a massive dig himself. Still makes me laugh ali gets a pass when most knock old fighters, he was not immortal you know
