Odlanier Solis vs Muhammad Ali in an amateur fight, who you got?

  1. Now this would of been a superb little fight between two ATG's who's style and class mirrored each other. This fight could really be like watching either Solis or Ali shadow boxing.

    Let's have a look here as Solis takes on the World class Sultan Ibragimov. This really was a master class performance from Solis. Showing the concept of hit and not be hit to perfection. Such movement, such reflexes. I genuinely believe Solis with all of his attributes is the closet HW to Ali in terms of style we've ever seen. Notice below a similar performance against a master slickster in Floyd Patterson by Ali where the master slickster Floyd gets schooled at his own game by the new kid on the block. Eerily reminiscent of the above Ibragimov vs Solis fight I think we can all agree.

    Here we see Solis school and stop a certain David Haye. Have we seen this before? Note the similar type of schooling Muhammad Ali dished out on George Foreman a few decades earlier against a certain giant murderous puncher.

    Considering Ali was a light heavyweight as an amateur, it's not really a fair comparison

  5. Hey **** you buddy. There is no trolling going on here. This would be a super fight at amateur level and only a non boxing fan would think otherwise.

  8. Solis didn't fight at super heavyweight but at heavyweight which is basically CW, so no, I haven't failed but you have sunshine.

    :patsch first of all I didn't say you failed. I said it would be an unfair comparison. Secondly heavyweight isn't basically cruiserweight. Thirdly your making a fool of your self so please stop.
     
  10. In the amateurs it is, yes indeed.
