    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.

    Prime Ali vs. Vitaly would be one of the most one-sided fights of all time with Ali clearly ahead in almost all rounds.


    I won't comment on Wlad anymore. I'm just glad he retired. Vitaly was at least still entertaining.
    There's no fight from Wlad that I like, not even when the golf amateur destroyed him in two rounds

    Something that would never have happened to Ali,
    not even with Parkinson's disease Sanders wouldn't be able to do that against Ali.

    Enough said.

    Ali from the Berbick fight gets cooked by Sanders, he was shot to pieces

    Well sure Ali doesn't have a Sanders like loss on his record but this is a different matchup and styles can make fights.

    Ali did not take away jabs? It was his downfall against Norton, it was why it was so close because he sucked at just that.

    Don’t play this “Oh the golf amateur” Sanders was like a southpaw shavers with some decent skills and wicked hand speed… he was a contender and a pretty good one with every gift -I’ll play this game if you want? “Wlad would never lose debatably 3 times to a chinny come forward fighter who was KO’d by a LHW” - Golf amateur > Norton.

    Both beat him and make it look easy. Ali doesn't have the skills to deal with two longer bigger fighters who can just keep him at range all night while he doesn't have the front foot skills to get in close on them. But of course people here will overrate Ali and create fanfic about things he can do that he has never in his life actually done.
