Smallest fighter you favour to beat 78 Ali-

****, I didn't read it properly, in that case it would be Michael Moorer, possibly even Roy Jones, but not 100% on that one

 

C'mon man, get real. Ali was past in in 78, many smaller men beat him, let alone HWs

 

MAYBE? 1978 Ali was toothless.

you've heard of air guitar?

ali would be performing air flurries

 

Micky Walker

 

Loma

 

Hagler beats him too I think. He was only 5 - 8 but had a cast iron chin in the unlikely event that Ali dusted his bald head

 

Good luck with that against peak Greb. Prime Ali struggled to do that with Frazier, imagine this version of Ali trying to contain even more busy Greb...

It's true, but it wouldn't matter. 1978 Ali would have no chance of stopping peak Greb.

How is that possible that Moore is a great boxer? He started hos career in the 1930s...

 

I read it wrong

 

Frazier was far bigger and superior to Greb.

And ?!

 

Frazier was bigger, but he wasn't better than Greb P4P. Frazier also faced much better version of Ali - he'd kill 1978 version.

I thought it's impossible to be a good boxer from the 1930s by your criteria.

 

Moore is not from the 1930s, being from the 1930s means having one's prime in that era.

 

He is from the 1940s though - do you really think that 1940s is a stronger era than 1930s?

 

Yes I do

 

Based on what? Don't you think that WWII decreased the talent pool?
