Would be at the top of the heap. Probably would lose to Lewis at some point. 90-91 Mike Tyson gives him a great scrap. But Ali definitely beats post prison Tyson. I say he decisions Holyfield and Moorer. Bowe may give him a good scrap. Also, if Tua lands that left hook, watch out.
Bigger and better fighters in the 90s. If you thought Coopers left hook was hard, wait until you meet David Tua.
If he’s in his prime I think he does well for most of the decade until he begins declining. I would make him the favorite to beat the best of that period
I think he could have held on to beat a few Coetzer-level opponents. Lewis might have been too much pushing 50 (but who knows?). I have often derided his decision to retire at the end of 1981. He still had a good decade left in him.
Of course he'd to great. Wouldn't be undefeated but he would beat post-prison Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Seldon, McCall, Moorer, Bowe, and split with Lewis and maybe Evan Fields (Holy over Bowe because styles make fights) winning two of three.
