Ali wins imo, although I'd have him losing to Wlad, Lewis and Frazier.
Slightly wounded that Lewis lost at the first hurdle.

 

yeah I generally pick Ali over Tyson but I give Tyson a better chance than most on this forum. Since I figured 99% of people would pick Ali I decided to go Tyson Lol...but it does not matter to me as Louis would best Tyson or Ali so to me it was a mere formality.

 

I don’t think you properly read the OP? Ali is group 1 Dempsey is group 4. They can’t meet until the finals. Oh well

 

Oops, I just did 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, ect.

Didn't even read the brackets.

 

try it again Lol....and have Frazier winning it all, and we will be all good bro

 

Even Eddie Futch conceded that Ali would beat Joe Louis after holding he couldn't for a while.

Ali does what Billy Conn (who was at 174lbs ) does but better.

Ali psychological destroys Tyson then takes him into the deep waters and drown him.

His ATG Heart, ATG Chin and ATG will to win are better than Tyson's let alone his footwork and killer jab.

 

Sure go on then
Second attempt

Round 2
Ali vs Louis, Ali UD15 (sorry Philly)

Holmes vs Liston, Holmes UD15 (50-50)

Bowe vs Frazier, Frazier UD15 (I'd favour Bowe SD12, If it was 12 obviously)

Foreman vs Dempsey, Foreman TKO2

Round 3
Ali vs Holmes, Ali UD15 (50-50)

Foreman vs Frazier, Foreman TKO4

Round 4
Ali vs Foreman, Ali UD15.

Well, that went to **** didn't Philly. Can't argue with Foreman over Frazier.

 

I see Louis either taking a decision over 15 or stopping Ali 13-15.

 

No, just Wlad and Lewis who have brilliant lefts and the size to land them. I think that they'd pull Ali about in clinches and land lefts more heavily and frequently than Ali would be landing.

I think they'd both get stopped over 15, but for fighters who only ever fought 12, I schedule my mates for 12.

Other tall smart boxers like Fury, Vital and indeed Terrel would not do well.
