    In a boxing match I would have no doubt Ali would win.

    I agree but it's still funny what's said at times.

    This has to be some of the most hilarious trolling I have ever seen. A few of you guys deserve awards for this.

    Daft thread.

    Mclean got taken out by Waldron and Cliff Fields.. not a chance he's hanging in there with Ali.

    Roy Shaw, a natural middleweight and Kevin Paddock beat him also.

    Maybe, but there's no way Lenny beats Manuel Char

    Is there any footage we can find of these fights?

    The funny thing is though I remember reading Lenny's book, he still claims in it that he was undefeated and was never beaten once in both the street and ring.

    Ali was a boxer making millions. Why should he have been even remotely interested in a bare nuckles bout for peanuts that probably would have been illegal anyway :patsch

    On the subject of the thread, I have no doubt that Ali would kill McLean.

    As far as Ali/Inoki goes...

    The reason that Inoki crab walked is that he was completely straightjacket by the rules that Ali's people insisted on after they balked the proposed worked finish and then saw Inoki training.

    Inoki was barred from throwing, grappling or tackling Ali and he wasn't allowed to kick unless he had one knee on the mat. So, he faced a choice of boxing Ali or doing what he did.

    Also, before anyone gets excited. Inoki was Karl Gotch trainer shooter. He was an entirely different kettle of fish to McLean. I don't think Ali insisting on special rules in a bout with Inoki means much when it comes to discussing the prospect of Ali scarping with McLean.

    anyone that believes this sloppy lenny fool would even touch ali has never boxed.

    this clown wouldn't stand a chance against Kerston Manswell for **** sakes. DO you understand what it takes to be a successful pro boxer? this dude would get KTFO'd in a street fight vs the average HW journeyman.
