    He's just trying to get a response from readers. A reaction is press for him, and publicity.

    Why is his logic flawed? Ali doesn't have knockout power like Sanders or Lewis.

    Ali lost to cruiserweight Joe Frazier.

    Lewis beats Ali just like the Klitchkos. Have a mind of you own, analyze fighters skills and not be a media puppet.

    Hell I'd favor Holyfield over Ali as well.

    :patsch

    Analyse fighter's 'skills'????

    Ali was CLEARLY a more skilled and superior fighter than all the other you mentioned.

    This isn't about 'old school vs. modern day fighters'.

    This is about somebody who's skills you can CLEARLY see, with one of the best HW resume's of all time, fighting two fighters who have NEVER won against a Grade A Heavyweight.

    Yet somehow, both Klitschko's are favoured :S

    Did Ross Purrity have more power than Ali as well?

    If cruiserweights Sonny Banks and Cooper could put Ali on canvas Wlad would send him home on a stretcher.

    Who gives a crap!

    Chris Byrd and Keven Johnson made Vitali look like complete crap.

    Lewis could probably do it. Both Klitchkos have no chance. Vitali is a true warrior, but not athletic enough. Wladimir would lose mentally.

    If you think Holy beats Ali, YDKSAB. :bart

    Here's the science dip****, we're talking about HEAVYWEIGHTS, so skills are less important when a big strong heavyweight can LAND 1 PUNCH and end the fight. Your 'resume theory' is nothing more then about POPULARITY. I'm a realest and I'm intelligent most of you aren't. Ali called HIMSELF the greatest and people just followed suite. Ali had no power, and didn't to go the body.

    No HEAVYWEIGHT (maybe a flyweight) can beat all the other heavyweights if they can't punch. The way to beating the Klitchkos is to get inside and knock them out, not jumping around with soft jabs like ALI did.Ali got gift decisions against Ken Norton. Ali in a head to head matchup wouldn't even beat Holyfield. Little ass Joe Frazier isn't a lock to beat Lamon Brewster either.

    This is something Wlad fans often "forget" that he isnt so precise as they think but his **** opponents(not his fault) make him to look like he never miss, because they came fighting him without any head movement at all:patsch

    The writing here doesn't scream intelligence. :conf

    So now you cant Box your way to victory in a Boxing match? Interesting.

    You saying George Foreman couldn't punch? Could Foreman beat the Klitschkos?

    Klitchko jabs the hell out of ALI, Ali couldn't and wouldn't get inside. What does ALI bring to the table that Chris Byrd doesn't realistically?

    A prime Frazier couldn't even beat David Tua.
