Vitali would do what he always does - use his size, strength and punching power. Use jab and left hook to score on the outside. Work the body to keep Ali on the outside. Catch Ali coming in which Ali was never comfortable doing. Crush Ali in clinches on the inside.
Here is some visual material for people with lack of imagination and boxing knowledge: [yt]JdLPi9-oqPU[/yt]
Vitali is not that much bigger than Ali. 6'7" with a reach of 79" vs 6'3" with a 78" reach. Lewis 6'5" with an 84" reach (that's a big reach) and an average chin had no problem tagging Vitsli with right hands using a "take 1 to land 1" strategy, and being in poor shape. I'm assuming this is Ali near his best, so he's going to be much quicker than Lewis was, and have a far better chin. Vitali couldn't stop Lewis despite landing at will. Foreman couldn't stop Ali lying on the ropes. How does Vitsli stop Ali?
Wrong! Sandman, don't you know that (according to Vittards) Vittles is 8' tall, weighs 350lb, with an 100" reach and have KOed every fighter he ever faced with one punch? There is know way that the sloth like Ali could handle the fleet footed, fast hands and superhuman power of Vittles who;"floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee". Now that I have set you straight go forth and sing the praises of the savior of all of boxing . . . no all mankind.:bart
Riddle me this, how are the slow robotic Klitchkos going to land enough punches to win a decision against a supremely fast and mobile Ali. And do you think they really have enough concussive power to knock a prime Ali cold?
:roflatsch Who won Byrd vs Vitali??? Byrd did, who won Ali vs Jones?? Ali did again VItali is the loser here.
WOW you convinced me Vitali would beat Ali, Donald had skills like Ali better jab faster better footwork chin everything :happy Long live Larry Donald:rofl
and was ali in his prime against doug jones???? #2 ali woulda massacred a 37 yr old lennox lewis in his pime/ prime vitali got his ass kicked and needed too see a plastic surgeon when lennox was done wit him
by the way this is a non prime larry donald who got a draw against obed sullivan previously???? LOL:-(
:rofl:roflatsch Ohh ****!! So Vitali is gonna outbox the quicker, more fluent Ali from the outside???
No takers on an intellectual debate on this then? Shouldn't have held much hope considering where I'm posting....
