    Put both versions in the ring together. who would win and why?

    I say Ali was at his fastest and at his most slippery in 64. But He was more experienced and stronger in 66-67.

    The 1966/67 version of Ali had all the speed and slipperiness of his younger Clay self,plus a lot more seasoning. He was also physically stronger.

    The Cassius Clay of 1964 would be calling the 66/67 Muhammad Ali a 'draft-dodger',
    'a 'wife-beater' and 'religous fanatic', and 'anti-American'.

    Elaborate,

    If 'mental war-fare' was employed, the 66/67 Ali would say the 1964 Cassius Clay
    was owned by ''11' white businessmen.

    ali 66 would beat
    by sd, but it would be close. clay 64 was very young,very fast , his legs were in his peak(speed) and he was hungry of victory. but the experience of ali 66-67 would be the key factor.
    i can´t see other fighter in the history winning against clay 64 the night in miami.

    The Zaire Ali of '74 could pip the Cassius of ten years earlier,but he would n't beat his 1966/67 self. How big a margin do you think that the Kinshasa Ali would beat the 36 year old version who beat Leon Spinks in New Orleans ? This is getting really surreal :lol:
