If you noticed the young Cassius Clay coming through the ranks what would you think?

Same man, same style, skills, Olympic pedigree same quality opposition and most importantly the same mouth except a couple decades later. What would be your opinion of him would you be a fan? Would you be impressed?

 

I'd think "Oh, no, not another wannabe Ali clone!"

 

I think he have a glass jaw "base" on the early knockdowns. I favor Wlad to put him out of the ring.

 

I'd expect him to go undefeated for a long time. :bbb

 

I would probably see him as something of a long shot to be honest.

His skillset is such that there are more ways for it to fail than triumph!

 

I'd expect him to beat the crap out of everybody at heavyweight

 

U, I would think exactly the same as when I first saw the lightheavyweight
Cassius Clay, in the Golden Gloves Finals against a tough Aussie, Tony Madigan, at MSG in 1959-60...In our wildest dreams that night, I would never envision Clay or a LH clone, to one day be a heavyweight champion.No way !

 

Keeps his hands too low,doesn't throw enough body punches and moves around too much.Some random random heavyweight contender from the early part of the previous century would have licked(only the old *******s will understand this term,as nobody is corny enough to use it anymore) him and exposed his amateur-like tendencies.

 

did you name yourself after the fleetwood mac song?

 

I'd say "oh boy, this guy is headed for the top".

 

I would think this boy too pretty to box.

 

Indeed.I've been a fan for as long as I can remember.

 

Just give me a couple more months.

 

:rofl

 

He'd be a breath of fresh air no matter what era he'd have featured in.
