    If Corrie Sanders could put Wlad on the canvas 5 times and stop him within 2 rounds.... If past it, out of shape Lewis can rearrange Vitali's face.... Dan's logic is flawed.

    these era comparisons are so stupid....thats why i hardly ever engage in them.

    so i guess corrie sanders would REALLY beat ali too since he ko'd wlad right?

    First of all fat Dan is no EXPERT!!!
    Klitschkos would trouble Ali, thats true but to make argument on Ali losing to Frazier in third fight after long layoff(not taking anything away from Joe) he wasnt prime although he made great second career.
    And how much Dan is experts tells the fact that he bases Ali vs Klitschko on Frazier fight while K brothers and Frazier fighting styles are polar opposite, so dont call him EXPERT please!!!

    If Wlad had a better chin I could see him pulling it off, fact is he doesn't and Ali would stop him at some stage IMO

    I think Ali beats Vitali fairly comfortably

    Rafael reason for it citing Frazier is embarrassing, you'd struggle to find a heavyweight fighter more different in style to the Wlad and Vitali than smoking Joe

    Flawed logic, but they're great fights regardless. Wlad-Ali would be a real chess match between two of the classiest operators the division's seen, and Vitali-Ali would be a great David vs Goliath matchup.

    1 - Dan Rafael is no boxing expert. 2 - Frazier and the Klitschko's are chalk and cheese. 3 - He's could be right purely due to the size difference

    If sanders could beat Klitschko no doubt Ali could give him big trouble.

    Lamon Brewster would destroy Joe Frazier and Ken Norton...also beat Ali 2 out of 3 times

    Mediocre heavyweight Haye slipped Wlad's jab and made him miss a LOT, what do you think ATG Ali would have done? Dan don't know ****, just follow him for scoops on negotiations and things like that. His predictions and scorecards are absolute crap.

    I wouldn't consider it a foregone conclusion that the Klits could be Ali, that is for sure. Is it possible each brother could register a win against Ali, yes. Ali has the skills to beat each brother.

    If Lamon Brewster can knock Wladimir flat out, what the **** does he think Joe Frazier would do to him? :rofl
