    Did the 1960s Ali have too much speed and movement for Klitschko and would he box circles around him, or does the taller Klitschko have the timing, jab, athleticism, and power to win?

    Ali wins imo. Ali was faster, might have had a better chin, great defence, and overall great boxing skills, than Wladdy.

    Would this fantasy matchup be a 15 rounder? Or a standard modern 12 one?

    I think Ali would probably outpoint him.

    Thats what I would think. If its a 12 rounder, Ali would most likley outpoint Klitschko, and beat him in a impressive fashion. However, if it is a 15 rounder, Klitschkos poor stanima problems might come back into play and Ali will KO him. Ali can dance all night. Klitschko cannot.

    Are you serious? The same Wlad who was bested by a semi-pro golfer? The same Wlad who had too many easter chocolates before his first bout with Brewster? The same Wlad who ran out of gas against the unheralded Ross Purity?

    Wlad is a very good fighter, but he has shown that his chin and stamina could be suspect at times. If there's one fighter who can take advantage of both of these weaknesses, it's Ali.

    :smoke
