look @ this animated gif u posted .
That moron there , trying (?? , or trying 2 look like trying ?) 2 land a combination while going backwards against a taller opponent who doesn't come 4ward . it takes 2 ******s 4 a tango . either this , or a fix :yep .

Regarding McCall , he was sharp and quick against Lewis in their 1st fight . Sharper than Ken Norton ever was . 1 can claim that Ali was past his prime against Norton , but McCall (in his 1st fight vs Lewis) was still sharp

than every version of Norton that i watched and i watched d Ali vs Norton trilogy almost 1 year ago and also watched Norton vs other opponents .
McCall was also a harder puncher and vastly more durable than Norton . As 4 Lewis not being prime yet @ age 29 after 2 olympiades , 5 years as a professional fighter and a nice stoppage win over a more Xperienced Frank Bruno , this **** is popular , but still a lie .
Maybe Lewis wasted his prime on staying retired 4 good from d sport he once loved , don't u agree ? we haven't seen Lewis in his prime because he retired just so prematurely . Age 29 is a toddler whom still needs 2 mature and study d art of not fighting in a fight .

All of my post was not about d crack saturated McCall or d withdrawal rehab institute McCall who fought Lewis in their rematch .
That McCall probably loses a decision in a fight Ali still does not look good in .

prime Tua , as opposed 2d 29 years old multi warr veteran whom fought Lewis , might even b quick enough 2 catch Ali whom was caught @ any stage of his career 4 fact .
Of course it could get 2d judges whom got their money from King/Arum and that was another 4te of your (old) man's legacy .

Regarding Tyson , Tua hit harder with his fists than Tyson did with his elbows .

 

Tyson was constantly fed that style. He knew how to beat the mobile fighters and badly. If you don't think Tyson has a great shot at not only beating Ali but stopping him than you need to rethink why you're here.

Now I'm up your ass.

 

To be fair I was a tad harsh. It was more of a shot at the ones who suggest he was horribly out of his prime by the Douglas fight. I just can't see it happening. Tyson fought good opposition in his prime, there's no denying that, but was it great? I'm afraid not and didn't do much in his career to suggest he could handle Ali. However I can clearly see why you think he would win, but this view would have to be based on a relative unknown.

 

Surprised with these poll results. From what I have seen, quite a few ESB people seem to rate the 90's heavyweights very highly, perhaps too highly. Maybe its because people lived through this era and not through the 60s-70s era. For example, I find it hard to believe that people think the likes of Tua, Moorer and McCall would beat Ali. Ali was only beaten by ATG Frazier once, by Norton once SD after breaking his jaw. His other losses were when he was well past his prime (still managed to win back the title.) People sometimes forget that Ali had an iron chin. Also his movement around the ring was exceptional and would be an advantage some people seem to be disregarding against the big but relatively not very fast/mobile guys such as Bowe and Lewis.

In my opinion, he might possibly suffers one loss, because he's human, but very possibly none unless he carries on too long. IMO Lewis was probably most likely one to beat him, although Lewis himself rates Ali above himself and doesn't say he would beat Ali.

 

I pick Ali to beat them all, the only 2 hed struggle with is LL and Bowe (IMO)

 

Seeing how an almost prime Riddick Bowe looked clumsy in scraping a decision against an over the hill and overweight Tony Tubbs,I can see Ali playing with him.

 

However, Bowe had the size, skillset and most importantly Eddie Futch in his corner.

4 Of Alis losses come to fighters trained by eddie futch

 

Bowe - too easy to outbox - see Tubbs/Golota/Hide/Holyfield 2
Holyfield - seemed to have more trouble with movers, although his pressure makes it close
Tyson - The Rudduck version maybe has a shot
Lennox Lewis - this is a dream fight, both would be the best either faced (bar maybe Holmes)

Everyone else is easy work, bar Ibeabuchi, but Ali would beat him

 

Ike was very frustrated against Byrd, can u imagine what hed do against Ali?

I dont think Tyson has a chance 2bh, LL is probably the best bet to beat Ali.
