    That's what I'm saying. Ali was never one to fight on the inside. He was never known for "going for the kill" so to speak, but rather sticking to staying in a safe range to utilize his boxing. He is a pure boxer. You get plenty of boxers who are also fighters. That's why Ali would not do well against McLean in a street fight. Against you or me? Sure, he'd probably whoop us.

    Like I said, if it were guys like Liston, Foreman, Tyson, Dempsey, Bowe or Joe Louis, then for sure, they would murder Lenny. However Ali doesn't fight like those guys.

    Joke thread is Joke thread.

    Lenny who?


    Why would Ali one of the greatest AMERICAN boxers of all time fight this english Lenny dude in a bareknuckle fight?

    and why would this englishman barekunkcle boxer Lenny fight Ali in a boxing match? lol

    All I know is Ali has a better chance of winning both types of fights over McNotLean

    So because Ali wasn't a bruiser or flatfooted he can't punch? If he can ko Foreman, Liston, and others he could of rained on that trash can worker any day.

    "Liston"
    Either Liston took a dive, or his chin was worse than a 40 year old RJJ.

    What was your mans name, Sutherland? A former street fighter that decide to try his hands at Boxing and got knocked out in his only two fights? He's gone down as the worst Boxer ever. Theres a massive difference between fightin some shams in the street than actually fighting a trained fighter. McLean was an absolutely intimidating fella but I agree with you 100%. Ali was a trained fighter.

    Street fighting is for hicks and dirtbags. Grown men have class.

    You're looking into this waaaaay too much. :patsch

    Johnny ****ing Waldron knocked Mclean out. If you think Ali couldn't, you're sorely mistaken.

    Ali would have beaten Mclean to a ****ing pulp.

    Plus he wouldn't even be wearing any gloves. Its heavyweight champion against a bar room brawler here. ****ing ******ed question, Ali brutalizes him no matter what the rules are.

    Yes and he took several rounds to "ko" both of them (even though they were TKO's and the Liston knockout is highly suspect). Real fights don't last a couple of rounds, they last a couple of seconds. Ali is no street fighter. His way of fighting would work great in the ring, but wouldn't translate well to a street fight.
