    How would Ali (circ 1974-75) do against him?

    Does Ali do the same as Lewis and manage to beat ironfist?


    Or is vitali getting the Victory?

    Ali by decision. Klitschko has nothing to threaten him with. Can’t stop him, can’t hurt him, can’t out-work or out-think or out-manoeuvre him.

    You know that guy that drinks in your pub, drops his kid off at school, keeps himself to himself, seemingly did a bit of this and that when he was young but nobody can name anyone he beat...but people don't **** with him because sometimes you just know, come on, you know, don't you? That's Vitali.

    :lol:

    It might have been if we didn’t have all his lacklustre performances on film.

    That makes no difference. That's in a ring. Guy's got a screw lose. An original dangerous individual.

    Vitali is the edgelord I didn't know I needed in my life.

    I had to look that up, I'd never heard of an 'edgelord'. Vitali would have known what it meant though...

    Well I’m unaware of his story out of the ring. He’s not beating Ali in one, though.

    I didn't suggest he would, did I?

    It’s what the thread is about. Pretty reasonable assumption. If you’re off on some bizarre tangent entirely independent to the topic, then I’ve given you too much credit.

    Aw man, don't ever give me credit, any credit, never mind too much. Ive actually been called tangentially bizarre before. I like it. Ali is, was, and always will be the greatest for me. And he was also Tangentially bizarre. But Vitali was quietly crazy. His demons have demons. My voices don't speak to me anymore. But I know they are there....

    What does that have to do with Klitschko fighting a Boxing match with Ali?

    Absolutely nothing. You understand the concept of tangents don't ya? It's hard for me to stay on track sometimes, and today is one of them. OK, I'll try. Ali wins a wide decision in a susprisingly competitive fight. Vitali is big, robotic, but has a good engine and a good chin. He won't gas like young Foreman, and wouldn't that have been a fight, Vitali v Young George? Aw ****, there's another tangent...Vitali is competitive throughout, might nick one or two rounds but is outboxed and outfoxed by Ali. Both stay crazy, one in a loveable way, another in a way that makes you check under your bed at night....
