    Ali turn's pro in 2000 ,so he's hitting the title fight situation around 2004.
    Lewis has gone and the k brother s are coming in to their own. By now he'd have being a pro 18 year's, if he's still fighting that is .
    So in your opinion . what's Ali's record stand at if he'd faced this generation of heavy s ?

    He'd of lost his soft stomach and been a cruiserweight.

    He would probably rule the CW and never try stepping up.

    Ali weighed around 225 in some of his fights in the early 70s, so I'm sure he would try his hand at HW

    Ali was a natural hw and always would be a hw. A guy that was in perfect shape at 210/214 the day of the weighing was a hw and all you guy saying that he was a cruiser are mentally ******ed.
    Donovan ruddock weighed 188 in his early career, david tua 201, holyfield 178-188 etc
    Ali was a natural hw a big guy. PERIOD

    Ali would be undefeated champion for 14 years. You guys are morons. It actually is demeaning to discuss heavyweight with you when all that matters to you is size. You understand nothing about this sport. Size queens. Adios

    Can see a young fit determined Ali in 2004 beating the crap out of either Klitch Brother .

    Iron Mike Tyson of the Savarese fight KO's a green Ali with a clipping shot to the cranium.

    That's the answer you want, isn't it Fergus?

    Nobody who ruled the cruiser weight division, was ever content to stay there!

    Yep he might leave the ship for challanges. But I think he´d start as a CW today.

    Give me a break...everyone´s on roids today right?

    Okay I´ll change my view. He´d be a strong but slow and ponderous 230lb HW by the age of 19.

    You can take a more nuanced approach to it, and work out where the truth might be.

    You don't have to take a political stance.

    You can even admit that some variables are impossible to know!
