    Ali dropped Mildenberger 3 times before stopping him ,add in the German was a south paw ,the first Ali had met for years ,and the fact that Ali hurt his right hand in the third,Mildenberger was never in danger of winning ,and Ali was never in danger period.

    I think Tunney is a better boxer than Ali,though Ali is my no 1 heavyweight.

    In a pure boxing contest, the bigger men have a great advantage. Tunney might be the best p4p or inch per inch boxer of this group, but he doesn't have a prayer of outpointing Ali and Holmes, let alone Lewis and the Klitschkos. Ali had some trouble with smaller boxers like Jones, but his lateral movement gives him the best shot at outpointing the giants.

    If pushed to the wall, I would say Lewis would be the toughest to outpoint, followed by Vitali. Wlad looked shaky against Sultan. I thought Senya was correct that his fight with Sultan was more competitive than the media spun it.
