    I wonder how poor little Ali would fair against a modern day beast like Alex Leapai?

    Please enlighten us Elroy.

    There have been plenty of fighters that have done better at CW and HW than Haye. Holyfield is just one of them. Hell, there have been fighters that have done better at LHW and HW than Haye has at CW and HW. Moorer and Spinks both moved up from LHW to HW and beat the main guy there (Holyfield and Holmes, respectively).

    You mean his disgraceful performances against Valuev and Wlad? He'll be remembered for that, all right. Just not fondly. The only really good name on Haye's resume is Chisora.

    Let's look at some of those fighters, shall we?

    Rahman: Old, shot, and fat. Nobody would even know who he is if he hadn't knocked out an unprepared Lewis with a lucky home run punch. Lewis kicked his ass in the rematch.

    Huck: Blown up CW. Went life and death with him.

    Chagaev: Wlad's leftovers.

    Boswell: Was 42 years old. Beat ancient McCall and Firtha. Was knocked out by journeyman Jameel McCline.

    In one of the worst HW championship fights I have ever seen.

    I donot believe that Ali would have had more foot speed by a mile. He would have to have better foot speed by a mile because of the size diferential. I do not see anything wrong with Vlads skill level (perhaps we define skill level differently) He does what he does to win and he does it very well, Ali would half to be more aggressive which is not what he did well. Ali did have a good chin. Now Ali was a better Boxer than David Haye but was any better athlete with Quickness etc or Byrd?

    I like how you only reply to the Chagaev part, because you KNOW you can't refute my points about Rahman, Huck, and Boswell.

    And none of the fighters from the past lost to half-retired pro golfers.

    But please, tell us how Brewster and Wach would be champs in the 70s. :rofl

    Ali UD unless Wlad lands the steelhammer right hand which could easily happen.

    One of your racist buddies, Freedom, made topics saying that Haye should be in the HOF. As if the HOF hasn't lost enough of its prestige.

    The point was that Klittards are trying to pass Haye off as some H2H monster, and we all know the reason they're doing it has NOTHING to do with Haye's actual achievements, and EVERYTHING to do with trying to make Wlad's resume look better.

    Haye's had more fights he's pulled out of than he has actual fights at HW.

    Very true. He also retired because he knew Fury was going to kick his ass.

    Age 36 Ali lost to Leon Spinks whose record was 6-0-1 going into A TITLE FIGHT ( and you still think boxing is worse now than what it used to be? ). Here is a brief list of Spinks' professional opponents; Bob Smith 7-7-1, Jerry McIntyre 1-2-0, Bruce Scott 10-37-1 and Leon had a draw vs Scott LeDoux.

    Age 36 Wladimir Klitschko outboxed David Haye. Call me crazy but I think Haye was a far more formidable and credible opponent than the usurper noted above.

    Why the f**k do you keep posting this nonsense?

    What has it got to do with the title of the thread?

    At 22, Ali shocked the World and beat Sonny Liston.

    What happened to Wlad at 22?

    GTFOH

    Sanders would have been a tough cookie for ALI
    He doesn't look strong but he could pop. A younger Ali could have
    been susceptible--esp. if he were as careless as he was against 'Enry

    Wlad beat Peter soundly in the first fight, destroyed him in the rematch
    so what's your point?

    That could be possible. Ali would probably hit him more than he's used to
    All depends if Ali doesn't get whacked when he lurches at him
