Send in your prime heavies to beat 1967 Ali

I agree. He did get a knockdown, and was ahead on my cards until that BS stoppage with 19 seconds left in the fight.

 

Wepner was a true all time great

 

In all seriousness I wouldn't favor anyone over '67 Ali but would give perhaps '71 Frazier the best chance. In all reality though, Ali only needed two more rounds in their actual fight to win. I think '67 Ali had more than those two rounds up his sleeve.

 

I would give Tyson a very, very good chance, assuming Mike was in his prime.

 

I would give Usyk, both Klits, Lewis, and prime Mike good chances. Wlad's fast, left hook would kill a prime Ali.

 

Well he did slip the jab very well. Knew how to cut off the ring. Had an excellent left hook with fast hands and good combinations. I think Ali would have plenty to deal with there

 

Thanks for reassuring my opinion!

 

What are the circumstances of the fight? If I use someone from the future, will '67 Ali have no knowledge of them before they step foot in the ring? If that's the case, Tyson might well pull it off with how fast he starts, how fast his hands are, how hard he can hit with anything.

If '67 is ready for him though, nope, I don't think so. In that case, I go with the guy who took Ali's 0.

 

This a truly rough question:

97' Lennox
92' Bowe
83' Holmes
40' Louis

It's not a very long list and I wouldn't favor any of them except Lennox..........

 

I'd favor Lewis over 70's Ali, but not 60's Ali. That said, if Lewis had him hurt like Cooper did, he'd finish the job.

 

97 Lennox Lewis was a force of nature. I could see him beating 67 Ali

 

To make it fair, Ali gets prep.

 

LOL. He would have to touch him first. Ali would make Wlad look like a clumsy gorilla.

 

I think polished Lennox firing on all cylinders is a tough matchup for Ali stylistically. I think he's one of the few guys who's jab could possibly have Ali in fits.............

That version IMO was a h2h goliath

 

Then I go with Frazier. Or Lewis. I don't think either would get the job done against '67 Ali, but they're the best I can come up with. Frazier beat the best version of Ali who was beaten, and Lewis at his best is a double threat at least.
