    Because against these he will b fighting similar fighters 2 himself , in my 1st post he will b fighting physically improved and superior versions of himself , except from Tyson whom would have eventually bombed him out like he did d 80s versions of Ali .

    I believe Tyson vs Ali would be an epic war. Sth like Frazier vs Ali I but more sluggish and with Ali winning.
    Lennox would be probably outpointed but I think Holyfield was quite a smart, tricky fighter that would clinch and make it a tough night for Ali so Holy by MD
    Bowe fight could go either way between Ali on points and Riddick by KO.
    Valuevs gets outpointed...
    Current Wlad is too big, strong and safety first to lose so he wins on points
    Don't know what about Witali...the one from 'quitter and Lennox' times had a great chance of koing Ali but would probably lose on points. Current one...I don't know. Ali could be too fast, but Vit's strange angles and cutting the ring space may have done the work

    Just superior , without version of Ali .
    I meant it 4 Lewis , Akinwande & d Klitschkos , not superior in every aspect but more formidable opponents 4 sure .
    Valuev would not have needed 2 cheat vs Cooper & Terrell and would not have needed judges' help with Norton , Chuvalo & Doug Jones .
    I also don't c him having 2 much problems with Frazier whom he would have carried unless Frazier hurts his belly 2 much and then taken out .
    Valuev would not have had problems with Ali more than Ali would have had with him .

    Valuev - best heavyweight of all times !!!! The type that also rans such as Ali,Frazier,Louis,Marciano,Frazier and Dempsey could only aspire to being like in their dreams.

    I cant see Ali lasting more than halfway against Tyson Fury
