    As a Klitschko fan, I would say neither one would have much chance.

    Wlad maybe, but still they would both get UD'd. Neither would touch a pre-exile Muhammad Ali.

    Neither would make it past the era's bottom contenders. The only way either would meet Ali is to buy a ticket like other spectators.

    They would both beat Ali, no probs.
    Ali had a great chin so i'll hive him the benefit of the doubt and say he lasts the distance to stop so many of the fantasists going up in arms, but in truth I doubt hed go the full 12 with either.

    trouble with the klitschko's is, they have been proficient in utilising their size and reach advantages, against limited opposition, people neither quick, mobile, or skilled enough to break in within the reach to cause damage.....

    against ali, they would have a nightmare, as their reach and size advantages would be more or less nullified.....wlads jab aswell is extremely overrated, and is effective in this present age simply because of his height and reach, against mediocre opposition....

    both of the Klitschko brothers would be outgunned by a peak ali......

    Vital (see ernie terrel.....wide UD - not comparing vitali and terrel in terms of talent or anything, but the result would probably be something similar)

    Wlad - TKO in the mid - latter stages of the fight....

    objectively ******ed opinion.

    We've already seen what a fast, mobile fighter with a great chin can do to slow plodding vitali, and that was ****ing chris byrd. not muhammad ali. You're talking about a guy that's gone 12 with some of the biggest punchers in HW history and won. How would either win? They depend on their 1 and 2 to set everything up, they don't know how to cut the ring and fight inside with a pressure style like Frazier. Are they going to outjab the man with the fastest legs and hands ever at hw? no ****ing way.

    Now lets look at a ******ed bias opinion above and break it down below.
    V Klitschko was ahead against Byrd whilst fighting with an injury and quitting because of injury, but lets not forget he was ahead dummy. Talk about change history to suit :patsch.
    Ali may have gone the distance with hard punchers, but you forget that HWs are alot bigger now and W klitschko has one of the biggest KO % in world class HW history and hes not a 16 stone HW either.
    Also Ali may have gone the distance with these big punchers but he wasnt a giant HW puncher, so I doubt he would trouble the Klitschkos even if Wladimir does seem a bit fragile.
    Also remember Wladimir handled Byrd no probs on 2 occasions :lol:.
    Ali wouldnt be able to get inside of their reach and would be bust up on the outside and tied up on the inside sapping his strength.

    Now take off the rose tinted glasses and think for a minute

    would be a hell of a bout with either of them.

    Todays Wladimir and 03-04 Vitali.

    then your not a fan...
    or realistic for that matter, either one of them would be to much for the ol school boy who was a great but these 2 brothers woulda hunted him down and destroyed him,
    they are to big and athletic and when you put those 2 things together with being way stronger ..? then that spells doom even for the great Ali.
