    The Ali that fought Cleaveland Williams would out class them all.

    The way he did Liston and Floyd. Ali had a far superior jab and footwork by that time ,he was untouched. I don't see Lenox or fury posing a lot threat to Ali , people often think because hw was lighter then that they were some how in a deficit , when in fact they moved quicker and required faster reflexes. I think these modern hw are just slow plotting super hw who rely on power more than anything over boxing iq and speed. Ali to me is advance version of Tyson fury . He would never have gotten knocked down by sloppy Wilder.

    It'd take a bus to haul the fighters who'd go through those guys. Especially Vitali and Fury.
    Perhaps you should go to the Vitali's 5 best wins thread to understand how good he is.
    And Fury? his best win is over a 41 year old?
    Lennox is the only one I think is proven and there's several guys I think who'd handle him, his chin brings many fighters into play
