    How does this fight go? Does Ali have the same magic against this version of Williams?

    Ali is just too quick. Same outcome.

    The younger Williams was fast for his size, and carried Ali's greatest nemesis, the big left hook. If Henry Cooper could land the left hook...so could Williams. But Ali is the superior fighter in the long run. Ali by TKO in 10 rounds.

    Would not be so easy but Ali still wins eventually.
