    **** i thought this thread was a **** take!

    fkinell they would all beat wlad prime for prime in my opinion,

    wlad aint exactly tested against a top tier heavy like any of them were when they was fighting, tyson would have murderd that chin, an ancient lewis gave a prime vitali hell so that answers that question, ali arguably the greatest ever would have danced rings round him!

    but then again thats just my opinion :good

    :yep:good

    Lewis..not be all that easy... Has the tools to do so...as long as he don't **** around thinking he's Ali.
    Wlad got up from all the punches that put him down...Rahman can't hit as hard as Wlad.

    one forgets for the time Ali and Holms and Foreman were considered giant heavy's at 6 foot 3...and around 215-20.
    Ali would stand the next best chance with his extream long reach of 82...But that's about Wlads reach and he's got height to add to the reach factor. Ali had the bad habit of while he was so big, like Wlad, backing up instead of side stepping his way out. That could give him some hits....Ali of course got a hell of a Jaw.

    I think all the guys listed would beat Wlad but with my life on the line I absolutely must choose prime Ali.
    He is the most versatile & I believe could solve any puzzle Wlad puts in front of him to pull out the win.

    Ali is the one guy of all those on the list that in a worst case scenario (off night) he`d still likely beat Wlad, the others.... mmmm, possibly but Im not as confident.

    Ps. you should have made a public poll :good

    I also voted for Lewis.

    Tyson would be a very good bet as well, but you never know... Tyson was always (yes, also during his prime) as calm a child when clinched, and you can be sure Wlad ties him up plenty... so i'd be a bit more confident in backing Lewis here.

    Ali and Holmes should beat him, but they are at a stylistic disadvantage, so you never know if Wlad pulls a Norton or a Witherspoon on them; i'd rather back Lewis or Tyson.

    I voted for Ali but Lewis would have just as good of a shot.

    I'd favor all of them (in their respective Primes) to beat Wlad, but Lewis would have the easiest time of it. Lewis would bring size, skill and power. Wlad would hold no advantages over Lewis.

    All the choices are several levels above anybody WK has been in the ring with. I'd pick them all to knock him out frankly. If I was betting my house on it, I'd pick Foreman

    i think that list you have is pretty much a suicidal list. Except if you pick other, then MAYBE vitali, but they will not fight each other.
