    15 rounds in Vegas, would lennox or wlads size and reach be a deciding factor for Ali s out fighting style, or would he beat them like he did earnie Terrell

    Don`t know but I think both reaches of either man would bother Ali who thrived on distance judgement standing on the edge of punching range so he could just turn his head slightly and slip that would be very difficult against these bigger heavies, that`s why Fury beat Wlad.

    fury is a semi skilled oaf, wlad was old and not great h2h when prime
    yeh ali is no wlad, failing to defend a unified title.

    Wlad dominated most boxers until he got old vs the 6'8 Fury. He rarely lost a round to movers like Byrd, Chambers, Ibrigamov, Haye.
    It would be an interesting match up with Ali.

    Lewis lacked the foot speed and footwork to find Ali imo. And would lose to Ali.

    Bryd had some success in his second bout v Wlad, I think Ali could have done a few things Byrd did like using lead hand control over Wlad`s lead hand which Ali did to Foreman who himself was great at glove control.

    Well couldn`t counter punch like Ali, feel better, if Ali could have punched as hard as AJ it would serve him well, if he had Fury`s reach he would have beat Wlad get where I`m headed?

    Wlad let Fury get inside his head... don't even wanna imagine what Ali would do to him. Wlad would be done before the first bell.

    Ali wins both fights. A stoppage win is possible, especially against Wlad

    You ain’t seriously comparing Lewis and Wlad to Earnie Terrell are you? It’s like comparing Bruce Banner and the Hulk and asking who would win in a fight.

    Saying that I would put my money on Ali on points though it wouldn’t be that shocking if either of them beat Ali as well.
