Prime Apollo Creed would give Wlad plenty to think about. You know,these ****ing idiots that come up with this bull**** are the very reason that people assume that everyone outside of their fans hates the brothers. Well we ****in well don't.It's the drivellous poppycock that their spastic fans spout day after day after day after day that gets on everyone's tits. Maybe they'd be more appreciated if the fans could be fitted with a lifetime bull**** filter.
I was being sarcastic, it doesn't matter at all if Frazier could run the 100m. (and even still..I bet you Frazier would beat Wlad in the 100m ) Athleticism in boxing is over-rated. I've been in sports long enough to know that many times analyst use 'athleticism' as a snide way. Calling someone in professional sports 'Athletic' is easily derogatory. As in the case above. You posted a picture of that craptastic boxer David Haye looking muscular and then posted a picture of the GOAT. Haye isn't nearly the boxer Ali was skill-wise or conditioning-wise and he isn't as good of an athlete either. Their physiques has got nothing to do with it at all.

interesting that people claimed david haye wouldnt beat wlad because he was just simply too small, yet hes the same size as ali, if not bigger. I think Ali would win a UD because the size just isnt a factor, Ali was still a big guy.
atsch I'm running out of patience on here. You clearly haven't seen much of Ali, and for that matter David Haye. Haye boxes on the counter and virtually doesn't move his feet at all,he's never up on his toes,how can he easily have Ali's athleticism? There's simply no comparison.
Ali always fought way heavier than 200lbs. Fighting at 220 or more would have been nothing to him. Ali stops Wlad. That's my opinion. He would have peppered Wlad with jabs and taken him out with several surgical shots to the jaw. Ali could have taken Wlad's punch, but I don't think Wlad connects that often.
He was an all round athlete. He was far and away the most athletic fighter who ever held the heavyweight crown,that's apart from his skills.Do you know anything?
