The klitschko era

They would beat any other heavyweight from the past which makes them the greatest of all time.

Ali, who got knocked loopy by a light-heavyweight wouldn't stand a chance.

 

Ali, against the current heavys isn't fair, what 6'3" 215 at his biggest

 

Foreman does NOT have the size to hang with modern day SHWs like Lewis + K bros. He was average in size by comparison at 6"3.

 

Yea, Sanders, Brewster, Lewis, Purrity, Byrd, Fury prove it

 

Foreman is about as big as Corrie Sanders. And much fitter than Corrie ever was.

 

Those defeats came before Wlad perfected his style. Once he perfected his style, he became invincible against smaller fighters because Wlad's style was tailor-made to using his size advantage to nullify any smaller fighter.

He came undone because he style wouldn't work against Fury who was bigger than him?

Now if Ali was 6'9, I'd pick him to win. As it is, Wlad's superior style that he developed after his defeats and which is catered towards fighting smaller opponents (as the majority of Wlad's were) would make Wlad victorious.

Fact, son.

The only heavyweight who would stand a chance is Lewis because Lewis is big enough potentially to bypass Wlad's style.

 

Wladimir never faced a fighter like Ali. This is a fact.

He faced stocky plodders who don't even understand the concept of lateral or upper body movement. The moment he was presented with movement against novice Bryant Jennings and had trouble, suddenly he was shot...even though he looked better than ever against Pulev.

Wladimir encountered movement 4 times in his career:

DaVaryll Williamson - Williamson knocked him down and did well, the fight was stopped due to a cut and Klitschko won a split decision.

David Haye - Lost 3 rounds against scared cruiserweight overreliant on his athleticism with no real boxing skill, and a poor gas tank.

Bryant Jennings - A novice who took up the sport at 24, little power and basic boxing skill, lost 3 rounds.

Tyson Fury - Lost the fight fairly decisively barely throwing anything due to fear of getting counterpunched.


And none of these guys were Ali.

 

George Foreman 6’3”, 225- One of the most feared fighters of all time, he destroyed George Chuvalo, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton.

Foreman was big in the 1970s. 6"3 and 225 was NOT big in the 90s or 2000s. It would be average. David Haye is 6"3 and he is considered an average height/size heavyweight by today's standard.

 

A natural, fit 225-230 pounds is big by any standard. We are not talking about a guy that used steroids and ate himself up to 230 pounds.
