Who Has The Best Chance to Outpoint Ali?

Lewis, the Klitschkos, Holmes.

I also think Byrd vs Ali would have been a fun fight to watch.

 

I'd say he wilted against Douglas wouldn't you?

Tucker and Smith were passive enough to let him fight at his own pace and dictate almost all fight.

He also never went 15 (which the thread is stipulated as) in his life. These extra three rounds in fights fought more competitively would make a difference.

 

Wouldn't say he got off to a good start against Douglass. Also had his best moment relatively late in the fight, fwiw.

I've never seen any reason to believe that Mike wasn't in good enough shape to go 15 but since it never happened, I get that there are question marks.

 

Thanks for your response. I disagree with slmost everything you said, but different view points make this interesting. Happy New Year!

 

Ali all wrong for Tyson imo… A great fast jab and an equally effective lead right ..Tyson would need his timing on point and Ali disrupts it .. And the lead right being the key as it was for Douglas

 

Frazier and Lewis would have the best chance, with Holmes, Fury and Wlad having an outside chance.

 

Yes I concur

 

Not bad choices, slick smaller guys.

 

Ken Norton? Holmes, or a smaller quick heavy

 

I don't see that.

Wlad ruled the division impeccably for a decade. Ali did no such thing.

 

Ali had far tougher competition though and 3 years of his prime taken away from him.

 

He fought a bunch of midgets and had a three year vacation in the middle where he took no damage.

 

He certainly took damage after the lay off and took punches that Wlad couldn`t, plus Foreman was no midget, neither was Williams when Ali fought him in the 60`s, Liston didn`t have the reach or power of a midget.

 

Lewis and Holmes .. Louis if he was amped up and went after him ..

 

Prime Holmes. Almost as crafty and a notch stronger
