    I expect this answer from everyone lol.
    And I agree. I don't think it's a hard fight if, but it's a dangerous fight on paper. Ali's chin prevails.

    Holyfield stood up to Lewis and was thoroughly beaten by a lesser man in Bowe. Size does not always matter.

    Sometimes this forum makes you weep for the future of humanity. The fact some people are free to breed and vote is frightening.

    Decapitated? He got up and won that fight didn't he? He would do the same with Haye.

    Where do these imbeciles come from??? I really think members ought to take an intelligence test before being allowed to post.
    Anyone that believes that those two robot like Klitschko brothers could beat Muhammad Ali ought to be certified insane. He would tease torment & totally embarass both before stopping them.
    Ali was without doubt the best heavyweight champion of all time. In his prime there has never been anyone that could have beaten him.
    Ali is ,was & always will be The Greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my book & what most of you critics do not seem to appreciate is the we never saw Ali's real prime. Politics & even a little racial jiggery pokery denied us of 3 !/2 years of Ali's prime.. Whether you agree with Ali's religious beliefs or not its immaterial he showed his courage by staying and facing his accusers. He could have joined the service like Joe Louis did & been a propaganda figure head or he could have done what a certain gentleman named William Jefferson Clinton did & fled to England to avoid the draft. Ali was castigated & derided for standing up for his beliefs & facing the consequences. What was Clinton's punishment???? You made him President of the United States.

    I rest my case

    Chuck was not 6'6. Plus he was a journeyman.

    Children; This is an example of a mind on drugs, be they illegal or prescription.

    Today's fat & Roid'ed HW boxers couldn't even go 10 rounds with Ali, and 15 rounds they'd die of exhaustion.

    This thread is just an emotional response of a UFC fan who is upset that the Klitschos will never really be regarded as ATGs.

    not, really, Haye was bigger, faster and stronger than Cooper, easily seen.

    Anything Haye does, Ali does much better

    Hayes counter punch tactics look good against slow, punchbags like Ruiz, Barrett and Chisora, hes got no chance against a guy whose better than him in every department.

    Cooper knocked down a young ****y Ali and your point is?

    Ali got up won the fight, got exiled, came back and still kicked ass.

    Ali is THE measuring stick of greatness, something the Klitsckos will never be and certainly not David Haye.

    No Haye just has toes which hurt easily :good

    And secondly Haye fights NOTHING like Cooper, if you'd actually watch them fight, you'd know, but obviously you havent, the only bit you watched was where Cooper knocked down Ali and then you jizzed your pants
    Cuts or not, Ali would have beat Cooper pillar to post. I know you're desperate to tear down the GOAT, but you need to try harder im afraid.

    Hayes got nothing on Ali. Ali is the GOAT

    Believe it or not Ali would not magically destroy today's top ten heavyweights. He would beat some but he would not dominate them.
