    Ali would be a journeyman today, and a pretty solid one at that.

    Non athletes are getting more pathetic by the minute. But in this era of bioengineering and super nutrition, athletes, and those who care to partake are certainly benefitting.

    We are talking about athletes here. There are not too many overweight athletes.

    :lol:

    I'm afraid Haye would chat himself right into the whipping of his life. And this coming from one of his biggest supporters here.

    I don't know how he'd cope with today's heavyweight title challengers TBH

    That is something I always think of when these endless fantasy fights are discussed. Figure if Ali was 6'3" 210 in his prime, then by todays standards figure about 6'5" 235-240 with the same ability. Still be The Greatest

    Exactly.

    Spot on Post. ******ed Klittard Fans are so funny thinking

    these 70's greats will be FIGHTING AT THE SAME WEIGHT in today's era.

    No they won't.. THey will naturally be bigger and carry on more muscles.

    Lennox Lewis fought at 240-245, if he was in the 70's there is no way he'll fight at that weight. Lewis would have dropped down to the 220's to suit the era.

    and vice versa. If Young 70's Foreman was in the 90's or today, he will have another 10-15+ pounds of muscles

    Wlad, Vitali, and Lennox would've been weight-drained in the 70's trying to get down to 215 or so. They still beat Leon Spinks though.

    I think he could rival SNV, but would lose a clear decision...

    SNV the goat!

    What's to say he wasn't on them anyways? They were available from the 60's on and didn't have near the stigma attached to them at that point in time- in fact, they were accepted training tools.
