    Terrel lookes literally like a beginner when he faced ali. Those very tall fighters back then were rather circus acts then real fighters. Ali was basically a punching bag for foreman up to the ko, who was the first guy ali fought that was taller and also skilled

    yeah sure, the guy that lost to leon spinks, a journey man with 7 fights at that point and went to the canvas from left hooks by guys like henry cooper or frazier.

    NOBODY in history “Plays” with prime Wladimir Klitschko. That’s just nostalgia getting the better of your common sense.

    Prime Wlad was a solid 245lbs, hit every bit as hard as prime Foreman but had faster hands and feet. ATG jab himself, stronger than Ali by a lot, and a very high ring IQ. Ali ISN’T “playing” with that. Lol

    I do think it would be competitive at first but that weight, strength and power would wear Ali down in the later rounds to the point he would just not have much left and either eventually go out with a power shot or go into survival mode to the final bell. Either way Wladimir beats him in a competitive (At First) fight.

    You can say that Wlad got knocked out by legends like Sanders, Brewster and Purrity.

    I'm going with size but Usyk has already proven me wrong twice

    Look what big old George was capable of in the heavyweight division during the 90's (a great decade), and you have an idea that Ali is simply the superior fighter.

    You know what... I think big old George near 50 yo would at the least go the limit and perhaps even KO Klitshcko.

    Ali but it is a shockingly hard fight because of Wlad's power, arsenal (especially the hook), fundamentals, size, and spoiling, and because Ali lacks the power to capitalize on the chin.

    Unanimous but razor close decision.

    Purrity KOed Lewis in sparring. Was a tough durable journeyman in his day.

    Sanders was arguably the most powerful HW southpaw in history. With freakish fast hands.

    Brewster well… Wlad got that one back in a big way. Lol

    Now name me fighters who Wlad even came close to losing to between 2006-2015???



    Ya’lls hero isn’t eating too many of these and staying upright…

    LOL!!! Wow…

    If Tommy Morrison could box the **** out of George I’m more than certain Wlad would hurt him. Badly.

    You can’t be a big sitting duck target against a prime Wladimir. This isn’t Jimmy Young or Schultz we’re talking about here. :lol:
