This content is protected 6'3 255lbs. Lenny called ali out in a REAL fight, bare knuckle boxing. No gloves, no gum sheild, no rest breaks, no grappling. 1 vs 1 until the first person gets K.O'd or quits. I do believe ali was scared of this man in a real fight.

Why would ali be scared of a guy like that? normal people like us would be but the heavyweight champion of boxing? the technique alone would cause him to go lights out within a few minutes.
Why didn't ali prove himself then? Lenny has had bare knuckle PRIZE fights, people putting up 100k. This is a real fight not a boxing match with fluffy gloves and rest breaks. You can't "dance", you have to fight.
Fluffy gloves? Lenny would murder Ali in a street fight, but with the Marquess of Queensberry rules, Lenny gets a beating.
Agreed. In real life a Lenny could walk up to ali, smack his wife on the butt and spit on his face and ali wouldn't do ****.
Really? I think people underestimate how much of a difference there is between big strong guys and pro boxers, a guy like maidana would drop 220 guys left and right if he wanted to in a club for example, its skills. Im not saying thats the case here but I seriously doubt ali in his prime gets his ass kicked by a rough bouncer bare knuckle fighter in a street fight and would be scared as well.
Nah! Lenny was actually a very nice guy, he'd never do such a thing. My friends mother knew him for many years and said he was a cracking fella. Then again, she knew the Krays too
This is a bare knuckle street fight not a boxing match. If a guy as big as lenny cracked an average sized person on the head he would smash their skull into pieces. Also this guy was not just a bouncer, he boxed in the ring and outside for money. He knows how to throw.
The an ex-light heavyweight of domestic level capabilities named Johnny Waldron ko'd this mofo twice in the first round. Nice thread :huh.
What's the point of this? In real life Vitali can walk up to any street gang member and get shot 20 times. Wtf is 'real life' some fantasy land you made up? When was boxing not 'real life' lol. You think Ali fought in a video game?
I have to admit I dont know the guy very well, just a short read since im not English. But im still not certain, I feel the same way when people say a guy like badr hari would destroy wlad. If that mclean guy had boxing skills it changes things a lot but I still doubt a man like ali with all his speed and technique would just get his ass kicked in a street fight cause a guy is very tough, ali was no ***** either, he could take punishment and get trough when it got tough, he was vicous in his prime as well. Im pretty sure nobody would favour this guy over a prime tyson in a street fight cause of his mosnter image.
