    Which prime HW champion would have given Ali the most trouble?

    We'll take the Ali of 1966 when he fought Cleveland Williams. I've never seen him better.

    Ali has said that Charles and Walcott would have given him more trouble than anyone.

    I don't know.

    What do you think?

    Holmes and Lennox Lewis would have both been difficult I think

    Frazier and Tyson, probably. Holmes, Lewis, and Wlad could all give Ali trouble, although I see him out-doing them with less moments of adversity.

    Larry Holmes dont know if hed beat him ut he would at least make it very close. ALthough i think Lennox Lewis is overrated by most on ESB, and ALi is my number 1 hw... I think Style wise he might give Ali fits or possibly pull it out.

    A part of me thinks ALi frustrates a Prime Tyson ties him up,jabs and dances to take a wide decision or late Tko.,

    But i can see Tyson winning this too.. Or dare i say stop him?....In an old Wide world of sports footage where .Ali waa talking about Great Hw from the past... He kidded aout whupping marciano but then in a serious tone said that Marciano would have gave him hell, In so many words said something about to the afrect Short,Aggressive,Tough bangers giving him hell.(ala Fraizer) .. Tyson is all that and more.. Faster,naturally bigger,Harder punching,,IMO better chin.. Bssically hes Fraizer on Steroids,with defensive skills.... One big thing those guys had over Tyson though was that they didnt get discouraged when things didnt go their way,,,and actually got better as the fight went on... Tyson went from super human in the early rounds..To limited slugger in the late rounds.


    Hate to say it but Wlad mgith be a problem too... One match where Wlad matches up better than his brother with past All time Hw..... Ali thinks hes really fighting mummy... Hed make Vitali look bad..

    Totally irrelevant. :nono

    My topic is established, better presented & has significantly more replies.

    Most people don't care about poll results anyway.
