The point about the uppercut is Usyk can make midfight adjustments very well. Ali obviously was good with adjustments. But with Frazier, he wasn't...
Good post. Regarding the weightclasses thing, not sure that's such a big deal. A lot of guys Ali fought would be cruiserweight today. Not sure...
That is a fair point, shame we didn't get to see more Usyk fights at professional. Of course it would depend how he loses. Does someone genuinely...
Cooney? Come on. I'll give you Jimmy Young in the 70s, he was slick af but I'm not sure that helps your case since Ali struggled with him. Yeah he...

The saying styles make fights was as true then as it is now. Even though Foreman had knocked out every opponent he had ever faced, including...
I was referring to the version of Ali that fought Frazier in 1971.
Is that realistic? Ali couldn't take out Bonavena until round 15, and he went the distance twice with George Chuvalo. How would Ali defend...
Who do you think takes this one? Could be any good version of AJ (e.g. Klitschko, Pulev). Ali didn't really have the same style of...
Not many people seem to give Usyk a solid chance against AJ and Fury, largely due to the height and weight difference. But Usyk has the same...
