Why can't you admit that the Klitschko brothers would give Ali huge problems?

    because,,,by the time either of them could reach him,,he would have led a merry dance and popped 20 jabs in both their faces,,,at the same time,,,
    by the time either of the snails caught up with him,,,they'd be trying to beat the count....:bbb

    some are ignoring conveniant facts when talking about Alis career.Had it not been for fortunate circumstances its more than possible that Ali would have lost even in his prime pre Vietnam years.Some felt he lucky to eek out a DEC victory over Doug Jones.He was almost KTFO by Henry Cooper with Dundee later admitting intentionally splitting a glove to buy a discombobulated Ali more time.Many felt Nortan took at least 2 of their 3 encounters aswell as the knockdown he suffered against the great white hope whos name escapes me.

    FACT Wlad has the overall size,power,speed,atleticism and fight IQ to pose any version of Ali problems

    Because people idle worship to the point of being unrealistic. Both brothers have the size and skills to give any ATG problems and potentially beat them, Ali included.

    I am not talking about growing an extra arm, genius. There is evolution in all aspects of life. Including nutrition, supplements, training, ect... Athletes today are bigger, stronger, and faster than before. Bigger men are more coordinated athletes as well.

    Vitali might give Ali problems. Due to his size strength chin combo. Odds are he gets broken down during a 15 round fight.

    Wladimir, would get knocked out. His lack of chin and the fact he has folded to much weaker fighters added to the fact he has not fought anybody of note within this sort of context leaves me to think he would get beaten.

    Shutup. Your rationale has no place here. Scientific results and trends and proven record breaking mean nothing.

    Chris Arreola is fat and he is a big man, that invalidates everything you say.

    I hate Ali to the point that I will refer to him as Clay in discussions, but I can see absolutely no way that a robot beats the most fluid heavyweight of all time. The man beat the best heavyweights during the greatest era of the division and you think Wlad can defeat him because he has size? Im sorry but the most imposing person to ever lace them up was Foreman and Ali made him his *****. Wlad doesn't have the movement, chin or psychological make-up to deal with Ali.

    And for those saying that Cooper almost had Ali out... I have watched that fight several times hoping that I would agree being as I hate Ali for what he did to Joe... I just don't see it. Ali gets up and goes on to win the fight and I certainly didnt see a five minute delay. I doubt it was that long unless every broadcast I have seen of the fight cuts out the delay.

    From watching Wlad against the Sultan, he would have a really tough time against Ali. Vitali would probaly quit on his stool in the late rounds against Ali.

    Both the brothers would give Ali some trouble, but nothing big enough to cause Ali to lose, I've seen dozens of Ali fights and I've never seen him not be able to land punches on his opponents, he always found away, no matter how tall or how short. The Klitschkos are good, but neither is durable enough to last against Ali. Vitali has a good chin, but his face would be torn to shreds after 6 rounds.

    Athletes evolve? Such a trend doesn't doesn't mean **** though when the heavyweights of today are some of the worst athletes in the sport.
