    In your opinion.
    However on second look I realise you're obviously trolling having Ricky Hatton in there.

    Apollo Creed would have torn Ali a new one. His technical jab would have won out over Ali's speed, and Creed could bang! Land on the other hand was a brute, but a guy that I think Ali could run rings around. Drago is one of the new breed of SHW and in my opinion shouldn't be matched against little guys like Ali. Word on the street is he was on the juice, too.

    I would like to see the reaction of Ricky Hatton would have said that he was a better boxer than Muhammad Ali.

    Okay, now I'm confused. I thought Apollo Creed was Muhammad Ali? Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago prophesied Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko?

    SpYder Rico was Alberto Lovell. It was proven in court that Rocky was Chuck Wepner making Thunderlips Andre the Giant.

    Lots of guys were better boxers than Ali.

    Ali had a great jab and pretty solid right cross, but offensively that's about it.

    Technically he did many things wrong, but when you have reflexes like he did, and often have a size and reach advantage, you can get away with it more often than not.

    Ali dominated boxings most prestigious divisions for 3 decades with flair not because he was bigger had better reflexes. Let's not be that silly. He was as good as needed to be at ant give time. I feel sorry if some can't appreciate what they missed.
