    I was picking my choices on purely the power they displayed at Heavyweight, the things Fitz did while weighing as a SMW were brutal.

    You really nailed it. Maybe i'd go for the Rock in the stamina department but you've really made a monster there.

    By definition you can't have Pattersons speed with Listons jab, wouldnt work. Listons jab gets overrated too, if it was that good it would have given Ali more problems. Neither can you have Foreman power with Alis right

    To save a lot of time overanalysing stuff im gonna simplify things.
    Ali circa 1966 plus Foremans power= pretty much unbeatable

    There is this awkward thing called the laws of physics here.

    For example if a guy can hit like George Foreman he is not going to have the footwork of Jersey Joe Walcott. He is going to have to sit on his punches.

    Ali had the best "mojo" which he tried to use on all opponents.

    If Frankenstein does exist then you can forget all about physics.

    Vitali Klitschko basically, love him or hate him hes nearly the perfect heavyweight. Hard to hit, super chin, hard to outbox, stamina, very strong, good power.
