    Ali weighed in at 226lbs for a few fights
    His reach was only 78 inches, what are you talking about?

    Massive exaggeration on my part but you won't convince me Ali was a small HW.

    For his time but now he'd be considered pretty small, though he's still over 200 pounds withough having to rehydrate so he's a legit heavyweight

    I think Ali was more impressive, the fact he Ali was 35 years old at the time weighing 233lbs with his hands on the ropes all the time, frustrating dokes who has all time top 10 hand speed for a heavyweight and didn’t lay a glove on him was remarkable, I know it was an exhibition but he was definitely trying as hard as he could to catch him because Ali was taking the ****. Although it’s very impressive also that a 6ft 7, 260lb man could also look good doing it, fury did have is elbows up for part of it and his opponents punches looked very slow telegraphed let’s say and he was also a bit wary fury would hit back at any minute, as with Ali because he was holding the ropes all the time he knew nothing was coming back so really opened up, for these reasons I think in this instance Ali’s was better.
