    Who you got? Moses has an exquisite jab which he throws at different ranges

    I'm not sure what you have against Moses but he gets beaten up pretty badly in this one. Ali wins by mid-round stoppage.

    This should be a ban worthy post. It's just ragebait.

    Yeah, Moses couldn't beat Hrgovic but bests the guy who took punches from Liston, Foreman, Shavers, etc, and was only off his feet three times in twenty years.

    Jesus.

    oh for christs sakes.

    Ali absorbed brutal body punches from arguably the greatest body puncher ever in Joe Frazier in brutal Manilla heat where it was reported to be close to 50 degree Celsuis in the stadium and this is what he was doing in round 14:

    Now lets see any modern champion do this at heavyweight in that kind of heat, having absorbed that kind of body beating

    Itauma may trouble Ali for 5-6 rounds due to his southpaw stance and speed but he would get a terrific beating afterwards.

    Ali by stoppage in the 8-10 round mark.

    Ali dances for 6
    In 7 he decides to throw a jab downstairs to set up the right over the top but the body jab was enough for Ituama to leave in an ambulance headed straight to an icu

    If they faced eachother at the same age now I would actually favor Itauma. That's the Ali who got knocked down by Cooper and had a close fight with Doug Jones. But that Ali would probably be fighting at cruiser today.

    This doesn't mean he's right but Shane Fury said he thinks Ali's punches tickled his opponents compared to Itauma's power.

    Yeah but 187 pound Henry Cooper also hurt Ali. You conveniently leaving that one out?

    Do you remember Henry Cooper?

    I remember Henry.

    That hematoma on Frazier looked Rahman-esque.

    I credited him as one of three times ali was down.

    How did that fight end again? Ali victory right after that round? With Ali beating him so bad that the ref stopped it?

    Stopped it in the very round Ali predicted he would stop Cooper in? I remember Ali gave him a rematch too. How did that one end again? Same way in the sixth... got it.

    I remember Henry Cooper. All of Henry Cooper.

    Do you?

    I remember Henry.

    Yeah I remember Henry was a light man and not a known puncher and he dropped Ali. But your post only cited hard punchers that Ali survived.

    Not a known puncher, Jesus really? I guess you don't remember Henry.

    Cooper was well known for his devastating left which fans and media dubbed "Enry's 'Ammer"

    Cooper had a KO rate 67.5%

    The guy you used to deepthroat, Dillian Whyte had a KO rate of 67.74% by comparison and had what eighty pounds on Cooper to put behind the same punch?

    We will just have to agree to disagree.
