Oleksandr Usyk vs Muhammad Ali

And then Joe Louis vs Ali for the main event.

Classic sometimes outshines itself.

 

Listen, do you remember when Stephen slapped Irene in the face in Seattle? Is that in your capacity to cognify?

 

i felt the forum shake as this was being posted

 

Out speeding, out jabbing and a very fast lead right Usyk has trouble avoiding.

 

Possibly even felt by Ali’s kinfolk in Africa.

Every time Ali fought, said kinfolk must’ve been very nervous and looking for something to hang on to for due counterbalance in anticipation of being “shook up” yet again.

 

I always knew this day would come.

 

Ali, Jordan, and Ruth are the benchmarks by which their successors are judged.

What day is that?

When two deemed Supermans from parallel universes finally battle it out?

Not such a bad thing. Truth, justice and the universal way will ultimately be served.

 

I'm hanging out for late September's Ali vs Usyk. Surely half the gang have changed their picks by then.

 

In general Usyk is better than Ali in almost every aspect except the chin and reflexes where Ali has a slide advantage. In everything other like footwork, powerful punches, defense, ring cutting, ring IQ, combinations, stance, punch versatility, distance control we should favor Usyk over Ali.

They are so overrated. I don't want to waste any more space on them.

 

I think this is very questionable.
Just in terms of power, Usyk has never been highly rated, & many say when Ali is underrated here, & when he sat down on his punches he had significant power.
Footwork, ring IQ & distance control, I cannot see Usyk as better, these were huge strengths of Ali.

 

He's not highly rated for power.

But I see Usyk fans having a laugh at Muhammad Ali.

 

Which Ali are we talking about? Is it young fast Ali or heavier more experienced Ali?
Older Ali might get beat. Usyk is very smart and skilled as well as extremely fit. Usyk would be tough out but will have a hard time dealing with Young Ali’s speed.
Young Ali wins Old Ali is a pickem.
