You mean a 200 to 215 pound southpaw like Karl Mildenberger? (Except Mildenberger won three times as many pro fights.) This content is protected
Wilder as terrible a boxer as he is, would knock AJ out easily any day. He lost to Andy Ruiz and then ran away from a fatter Ruiz in the 2nd fight because he was so scared. "Best heavy in the world"? No. Never. You are as foolish as people saying Ennis is the best welter in the world. Americans dont say that. Excuse me for thinking you eat crumpets
It is true that Ali never fought any southpaw as good as Usyk. It is also true, however, that Usyk has never dealt with the kind of speed young Ali possessed. Please watch the 1967 version of Ali. As tricky as Usyk is (and i am a huge fan), he would be confused with Ali's speed. It would be competitive, but ultimately, i see Ali winning a decision. IMO its too early to favour Usyk over Ali. Way too early. This content is protected
The 'mediocre' southpaw? You mean the #1 contender who won three times as many fights as Usyk? That guy?
This guy boxes a lot like Usyk. Who did Usyk fight who boxes like the 1960s Ali? I'll eagerly await your response. This content is protected
He weighed 195 lbs, and being a southpaw alone doesn't make him similar to Usyk. Ali fought from the orthodox stance, so did many of Usyk's opponents.
Mildenberger fought on his toes and boxed like Usyk. And he won 53 pro fights (to Usyk's 19). Who did Usyk fight who boxed like the 1960s version of Ali? Please post a link. I want to see how Usyk handles him with my own eyes.
What Euro-level heavyweight today has 53 pro wins, for god's sake? Post a video of a guy Usyk beat who fought like the "1960s Ali" so I can see how Usyk would handle Ali. Show anything to support what you're saying.
You just lost what minuscule credibility you might have slinked away with here. And Ali lost to Norton, who in turn lost to a bum...Liston lost to Marshall...Foreman lost to Jimmy Young...etc. You are doubting my ethnic orgins? You get more appallingly stupid by the post.
You forgot to include a response, Clenelo. I'll take that as you couldn't find anyone remotely like a prime Ali who Usyk fought.
You are a one on a million idiot. The guy was a fringe contender and it is a sign of Usyk's greatness that he is a legend in 19 fights. You are just butthurt because you were dumb enough to pick against Usyk in the first place, and still haven't learned your lesson. You are cheering against the Ali of your generation. https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...ters-arent-that-great-after-all.660629/page-5
