    Laila Ali or Tommy Burns.

    Can Tommy overcome his lack of athleticism and skill to emerge victorious?

    12 rounds. 1950's ref.

    Who you got?

    Burns was a good fighter, his resume isn't strong but you can see that he could fight. I don't get it why so many people are so quick to laugh at him.

    He was a good fighter, there is no laugh from me, Laila was quicker but Burns could hurt many a fighter including Laila, who would have to fight cautiously.

    I am not poking fun at him, I am just responding to this thread, but maybe it should not have been posted with all due respect to that poster.

    I thought it was Muhammad Ali when I saw the title. The Seamus wins again.

    well done

    Assuming Burns identifies as a female, this fight can go ahead.

    I am guessing a 170 lb fighter would beat the smaller more skilled Ali.

    Burns UD 12.
