    Think about it, Khan would be the only fighter Ali faced who was faster than himself, combined with the fact that everyone says Khan doesn’t have a chin, well that is a huge advantage since if he doesn’t have a chin there to hit than how can he be knocked out? It’s like trying to touch Tyson Fury’s hair, he doesn’t have any

    Hey Devon, You must not like Amir Khan very much, remember he was kayoed by Danny Garcia. Muhammad Ali was a heavyweight.

    Well Amir Khan is about the same height Joe Frazier was, but also faster, more skilled, and thanks to modern training, better conditioned.

    Considering the problems old Joe gave Ali, there's really no way Khan wouldn't win. People focus on the weight, but they forget about modern weight cutting, Khan would have been a heavyweight back then, he's about the same size as Rocky Marciano, who Ali said would be one of the toughest opponents for him.

    There's really no good argument for Ali, sorry old timers, but the world has moved on.

    What was it the thread talking about the universe populated by excessively Brian London that tiped you off.
