Was Ali a Klitschko level clincher?

Wlad had size, strength, excellent technical skills, a great jab, and hit like two Mack trucks. He’d always be more than just another contender. Come on now.

 

Fred Astaire never clinched Ginger Rogers as much as Wlad clinched Povetkin on one of the worst HW bouts in history.

Young man, Google Astaire-Rogers or YouTube them to understand my point.

 

The unofficial count for clinches initiated by Ali was 133. Sit down and watch Ali vs. Frazier 2 to see verify for yourself. You’ll see Ali employed the punch then clinch tactic to the extreme. Ali is the greatest HW of all time in my opinion but still can’t deny the facts.

 

In the rematch vs Frazier he certainly was.

 

Unofficial stats found on the internet say Wlad wins 180 to 133.

 

that is total clinches I.E Povetkin as well as Klitschko, again go back actually watch the fight. and count how many and who initiated them. actually count them until then you are just throwing up **** without actually knowing what you are talking about.

 

These are only clinches initiated by Klitschko.

 

Wlad is the GOAT HW clincher.

John "huggy bear" Ruiz is the only guy whose clinching is comparable to Ali's.
