    Muhammad Ali getting off of the floor in the 15th round has to immediately get in there with a prime ‘Sugar’ Nikolai Valuev and do another 15 round fight.
    Who wins this matchup?

    I feel like Ali finds a way to coast against Valuev and take the decision. Yes, Ali is exhausted to all hell here and beaten rough more than he was in any other fight, but Nikolai isn't exactly gonna be pouring it on round after round. If Ali wanted to give up rounds early just to rest, he could still make it through to the other side as long as he simply put in a bit of effort. Valuev was dropping rounds to Ruiz while he was in his prime for chrissakes!
