    A dominant 12 rounds decision in which Wlad won doing the bare minimum.
    Fun fact you wouldn't be aware of. Haye outlanded WK on power punches.
    This highlights WK reluctantanc to throw power blows against an opponent who had decent but not great upper body movement.
    Now think of Ali who had maybe the best feet in the division

    Haye was stunned and dropped multiple times against Wlad, lol. And it's obvious Wlad is the harder puncher of the two.

    Haye going down on his knees in protest to Wlad leaning all over his back isn't a knockdown.
    Haye didn't want to end up zombified like Chambers from carrying Wlad on his shoulders for 12 rounds.

    Haye was never stunned. The hardest punch landed was by Haye in the 12th.
    Wlad was holding on desperately which indicates he was the one stunned the most in that fight.

    "Round 12: Ding ding! The two boxers touch gloves, which perhaps proves that the whole trash-talking nonsense was in fact nonsense. Haye tears into Klitschko and rocks him with a huge right, piling into the Ukrainian and flinging another right hook at the side of Klitschko's head. He shoves Haye down, but this time to get a breather, not prove a point. Haye swings wildly again with the two boxers looking extremely tired. The big man's defences are too strong though. Haye's workrate is good but he doesn't land cleanly again and the bell sounds. It will go to the judges. And the fight will go to man who boxed better and was more controlled all night: Wladimir Klitschko"

    Klitschko exhausted after 12 rounds in a fight slammed for barely any punches thrown or landed.
    He handles Ali no problem !!

    I'm certain prime Ali beats Wlad, Wlad had a great jab and would track Ali down with it, i think Ali would be moving around way more than Haye when he feels Klitschkos power similar to Williamson who made Klitschko think, kept him from setting his feet and throwing the jab as often as when he was more stationary

    What's interesting is Steward told Wlad that Williamson would slow down because he can't fight at Alis pace. Just based on the Williamson performance theres no way Klitschko dominates Ali if he beats him, i can't see it, Williamson was 36. Ali would be using more angles and counter punching, doubling the jab, feinting, would keep Wlad more off balance. I think he makes Klitschko look mechanical, Wladimir doesn't throw the left hook against moving targets, he uses the jab and the right cross. Vitalis size milking style, workrate and chin would make him more difficult. Wlad would beat 70s Ali tho. I actually think Wlad has an easier time clearing the 1970s than the 60s because of the absence of Liston and prime Ali. Wlad would beat Foreman and Frazier but Foreman is very dangerous

    Wlad was too stiff to deal with Ali. Past 74 maybe. Early 70s Ali was still too fast and too agile for Wlad.
    Ellis has a great jab as seen here and it's not working. Klitschkos jab only goes in a straight line. If Ali isnt there to be jabbed he isn't there to be hit with the follow up right hand.

    Klitschko is bigger and better than Ellis just Ali was good at taking away jabs, it's why Ali vs Norton is such a good technical fight

    He never had to take away a jab like that tho. Stiff, powerful, coming for you with 3 inch reach advantage.

    Nah, that's the bait for the biggest Klitschko lover on here.
