Muhammad Ali vs Wilt Chamberlain

Weak

 

I'm one of the biggest Wilt fans on Internet and I have seen much more of him than probably anybody here, but what is his case? He's one of the most astonishing athletes ever but without experience Ali would toy with him.

 

No u

 

He would never start landing on Ali, that's the point. Sonny Liston couldn't find Ali and he was much better boxer than Wilt could have been.

 

Usain Bolt would end GGG's career.

 

Ali was asked about this supposed fight with Chamberlain. He response was "Tiimmmberrr".
On a basketball court Wilt toys with Ali, in a boxing ring , there's a better than average chance Wilt wouldn't land a single punch. Wilt thought better of it..... A very wise decision.

 

He was a great basketball player and athlete and an amazing physical specimen.

He also never had a boxing match in his life and he was totally unproven re skill, chin, heart, endurance, determination and ability in a completely foreign discipline to him.

I’d back Ali to dance around him, pop him with some jabs and straight rights, avoid whatever a novice fighter could throw at him and finally stop him in 3-4 rounds.

Guys like Tyson, Foreman and Frazier would do it even quicker. No knock on Wilt who was a freak but it just wasn’t his game.

 

Lol.

 

Roy was a trained professional who also had years of amateur experience (including the Olympics). He did not simply roll out of bed with his natural talent and humiliate world champions, he trained his ass off for decades and combined his ring IQ with his freakish athletic ability to create an unorthodox boxing style.

You also left out the part where he got brutally knocked out multiple times in spite of all that.

Comparing Roy Jones to Lebron or Wilt is quite a stretch. Neither player could throw a jab to save their life, and haven't won a sparring match let alone a world championship fight. Anyone can look good performing athletic feats, it's another matter entirely to get hit back in the face and needing to find a way to win. There are plenty of athletic/shredded guys on Instagram who look amazing doing pad or hitting the heavy bag, but an old Mayweather Senior with a bad leg would still school them any day of the week. The difference in ring IQ would be like comparing the IQ of a random best buy employee to Elon Musk.

Unless Wilt Chamberlain had the chin of a literal ox an the punching power to knock over brick walls, he isn't beating an in shape Ali with raw talent and no training or experience. You would think people would learn after Mcgreggor vs Mayweather, James Toney vs Coutoure, or Michael Jordan vs baseball that you can't simply pick up another sport out of the blue and become phenomenal at it.

Yes I'm aware of Wilt's outrageous athletic feats, but boxing is 80% mental. Do you think Bobby Fisher would lose a chess match to Albert Einstein? Would Hafthor "the mountain" Bjornson (world's strongest man) beat Stipe Miocic (UFC heavyweight champ) in a fight?

Now this is comedy. The guy who let Chuvalo whack his body for 15 rounds and taunted him while doing it, the guy who had 3 brutal wars with smokin Joe, fought through a broken jaw with Ken Norton, took bombs on the chin from Earnie Shavers, would fold under the might of zero professional fights with no documented KO wins wilt Chamberlain?

The guy who took hits from this monster gets folded after a couple of rounds?

I can't help but wonder if you've ever been in a fight before. No offense, but you sound incredibly ignorant. Unlike any other sport, you are literally fighting for your life in boxing. Blood and getting hit back makes cowards out of the biggest Goliaths.
