WHO TAKES A WIN OVER 66 ALI IN YOUR OPINION? LET'S CLASS MODERN DAY HEAVY S FROM BOWE ONWARDS. CHAMPS OR CONTENDER S, WHICH OF THE BIG MEN DEFEAT THE SMALLER, LIGHTER ALI OF THE WILLIAM S FT?
I'm pleased to see the confidence placed in young ali defeating the modern day '' giant s ". 66 ali has that something special about him, that makes him expected to defeat the big men. Lewis imo stands out as the biggest hurdle.
Ali had good height himself at 6.4 very good conditioning all the tools heart and chin as well as an iron chin to beat these bigger men. Trust me I dont even like Ali but he beats these big men in my book
There are a good few that would disagree with us regarding ali. Sure you know the story, bigger the heavy weight the better bla bla bla. Wouldn't matter if ali was 5 foot 10. He'd still beat the modern day heavy s imo. In fact ali would have the PERFECT style, body size weight etc to beat them. And a ATG chin to boot.
None of today's horrific heavyweights could contend with Ali's speed, skill and durability. The difference is speed and agility would be striking to say the least. Ali would cut them to ribbons. I write this as a guy who rooted against Ali in every bout he ever had.
Maybe prime Lennox Lewis, but probably nobody. Although going back, I think prime Joe Louis would give him trouble.
There s not to many pre 1965 heavy s that are basically Classed as unbeatable amongst the super heavy s of today. That s how great ali was. And I'm talking about bowe onwards.
Ali was at his most durable weight in '66 against Williams and didn't give up speed/footwork like he did in his comeback at around that weight. So like already said. No one.
I would not favour any over him, but I do think that somebody might come up with the right plan to beat him.
