    No if you go back in the posts reference was made to Ali’s chin and it was said he could not withstand the modern super heavyweights power which is crap.

    Question is do you rate Ken Norton as a guy who would run close and beat Lewis, Klits, Joshua, Fury? Not for me. That said, I see Ali as a Fury type guy who rises to the level of the opponent but can also be dragged down into a dog fight with a lesser guy. (Wepner/Wallin). The Klits especially brought super levels of consistency.

    Why is it ? If he got dropped heavily by Cooper, a 180lb fighter, why couldn't the big guys ? Ali couldn't get out the way of left hooks, it was his problem punch as records show. He'd definitely know about it if he caught a 245 Wlad left hook

    Proudly so! I watched him and Foreman fight the Rumble in the Jungle as 4/5 year old which inspired my love for this noble art of prizefighting.

    The consistency of the Klitschkos was mind numbing boringness. I have always said condemned prisoners should be made to watch the Klitschko fights as punishment in their confinement.

    I would rather not discuss with you so that I refrain from abusing you. Your disrespect to Ali is not something I will be part of. Goodnight.

    I find Mayweather exciting. I particularly like his outstanding skills. The Klitchkos basically learned how to use their physical advantages against an inept generation.
