Could Muhammad Ali replicate Joe's feat in the same era?

An interesting fight for the prime Ali that would have been, the 1941 Billy Conn. Ali would win because of height, reach, and cat like reflexes. Ali by a late round stoppage. Not to mention superior foot work. Conn would have to abandon his boxing skills as in the 1st Joe Louis fight and become the aggressor, playing into prime Ali's hands. Mere frustration for Conn. No rope A Dope here, because Muhammad would be prime 1964-1967.

I see him stopping Conn in the manner he stopped Patterson.

Stupid thread. Look at the height and weights of Louis' opponents. Ali was 6'-3", strong and fast in his prime. Walcott and some of those guys were 6' and under 200 pounds hahahah. it wouldn't have even been close.
