Because Wlad/Lennox/Foreman etc do what a heavyweight are supposed to do. To dominate and to KO the opponents. Ali does not. He fights "wars"...
Jimmy Young? 7 KOs in his entire heavyweight career, of which 4 were against bums. Record of 34-19. Wait, a sec, when was the last time Klitschko...
I watched all of Ali's fights. BOOOORING (most of them), unless you find clinching, no-KOing and insulting entertaining. Hey, wait a sec, you...

Did you just compare a 140+ vs 140+ fight with Klitschko vs Ali? Size is not everything. But a lot. And the combo of size+KOratio is nearly...
Noone, skillwise. Many bodyfeaturewise.
Wow, a boxer has 3 losses. Ali will surely own him. Oh, wait, Ali has 5 losses. I take everything back. Ali will surely be owned.
Very good, sister.
Yeah, compare Sonny Liston (6'0''+) and Frazier (5'11''+) with Wlad. Yup, Foreman gassed (whether drugged or not). But Foreman is only 6'3''+....
