    It was a style that Ali rarely faced & struggled with the most (in my opinion).
    How does a prime Ali fare against:
    Johnson
    Tunney
    Schmeling
    Braddock
    Farr
    Conn
    Charles
    Walcott
    LaStarza
    Machen
    Young
    Holmes
    Thomas
    Tubbs
    Dokes
    Biggs
    Tucker
    Byrd
    Fury

    Johnson, tunnel, charles, walcott might win but Ali beats rest ...perhaps

    I don’t think that’s likely, I think they have some of the lowest chances of the bunch is there something I’m missing?

    Beyond asinine.

    Tunney and Walcott have zero chance. Johnson and Charles have only a microscopic chance.

    The difference in skill is far far too steep for me paired with the size difference and I think he gets cut to ribbons In a boring uncompetitive affair personally.
