Oleksandr Usyk is physical proof Ali would do well in the modern heavyweight era

Obviously Ali would have done very well in this era but let’s not use a guy who hasn’t beat anyone in the heavyweight division as an example.

 

I don't think anyone has said otherwise. Saying that Fury is too big of a mover for Ali to compete with isn't the same as saying Ali wouldn't do well in this era.

 

Yes, because he beat a shot to death chisora. You are rig..... oh wait!!

 

Ali would do well as long as he avoids Fury.

 

You mean that chisora who had lost 1 every 3 fights and who had several inches reach disadvantages vs usyk? that chisora? the same chisora who had 50% KO rate in heavy weight?

I dont think that proves ****, tbh.

But hey!! you can hug those nuts as hard as you want to, man. What's important is to be happy. Lets go champ, hug the nuts!

 

There's been plenty of evidence. My favorite is the obvious fact that every pound over 230 in 90% of "super heavyweights" today is pure body fat that they would have never gotten away with carrying into the ring in the 15 round era

 

I haven’t heard anyone suggesting young Ali would struggle against today’s HWs. Prime Ali destroys these guys.

 

Ali & usyk please no.

 

Clay may certainly have had the tools to remain competitive against larger HWs, although eventually his time would run out, consider how much punishment he took at the hands of smaller men, just imagine how quickly that would catch up to him against guys like AJ, Lennox, Bowe and even Wilder....
but Usyk is hardly the example to throw out there. the guy has done nothing at HW besides get on his bicycle and run the triathalon around used up retread HWs who were never that great in their primes

 

If Fat Andy could win a strap against the top HW at the time, Ali would be trouble. I don’t think people remember how great he was in his prime. He was a special fighter who moved so well and had fast hands with power. He stuck around for too long but in his prime, he had every tool. Maybe the perfect HW. People have short memories I guess. Ali was more than special.

I’d like to see any of these guys fight Ali in a 15 round fight. I was sorry to see championship fights shortened to 12 rounds. Guys with great stamina have less of an advantage these days.

 

Usyk did good against Chisora and Whitherspoon but he still needs to face someone in the upper echelon of the division with a significant height and reach advantage (I.E Fury, AJ, Wilder, Povetkin ,etc) on him before we can compare to Ali lol.
