Why can't you admit that the Klitschko brothers would give Ali huge problems?

    Because they have reigned during an era of truly atrocious heavyweights, one has a suspect chin, and the other is physically fragile.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say the Klitschkos "can't compete" with him, but over the course of a fifteen rounder, just about any version of Ali would systematically break them down and confuse them terribly.

    Huge problems? No way.

    Just because in your heart of hearts you wish something to be be true doesnt mean it is, George Foreman KSTFO of both Klits, and Ali beats their ass, maybe even Gerry Cooney rips a KLIT or two, so does Shavers, Holmes, possibly Norton Maybe Frazier maybe even Lyle on a good day blasts Vlads ass, thats how deep the talent pool was that Ali dominated. End of story.

    Yes, you're right. The bros would've lost to all these guys. I've got nothing against the bros, but they wouldn't have beaten Ali. To add to your list, I would even include Ron Lyle and Ken Norton. Norton may be questionable because he did seem to sometimes have problems with big powerful heavweights (FOREMAN):vonnecunt

    Guys like chuvalo, Bonavena, and Quarry would have trouble with the Klitscho brothers, but would probably find some wins if they fought multiple times. The top tier of that era would look super human against todays heavweights.

    Wladimir or Vitali beat Frazier or Bonavena a new face. Forman however is a different story. You'd have to consider whether it's the old Forman or the unretired version.

    beceause if ali 60's or 70's version fought today, he would be under-rated after his loss,,,that how the show work for the bro.s,, they beat someone, they suck,,,ali beats someone, they would be a world beater in any era,,,,,people point to wlad an vitali losses, take cooper fight with ali, who got 5 extra minutes, just imagine if either of these guys got there gloves cut in any of there losses, except vitali loss to byrd (cus he needed surgery on already damaged arm) an maybe wlad loss to brewster (cause of drugs) no question wlad just might be undefeated an vitali with one loss,,,,,I just can't see ali beating either of these guys,,,,i could see forman, before ali,,,,chris byrd was very fast an very elusive, but he lost almost every round he fought to these guy, even the fight he got a gimmie win for.......They can't admit it, cause it can't be proven, that why.

    Thats like saying the Romans would beat the Russian army, different times, different skills, different training methods. It makes no sense comparing the two.

    Lemme tell ya'll something bout klit fans...they are robots...they think the klitchkos are the greatest thing to happen since ali...dont even try arguing with them...i admitted wlad and vitali are the best of this era but they'd be easily dealt with by fighters like ali and they still have the same damn excuse

    the klitchkos are to big and to tall and allthis bs...they don't realize that they lack the skills to deal with slick boxers with fast hands....

    Vitali has only been cut in one fight throughout his entire career as an amateur & pro boxer and kickboxer. That's quite an assumption.

    Also, you pick all of Ali's best points in response to all of the Klitschko brothers low points. Ali also lost to Ken Norton (3 times in many peoples minds), lost to Frazier, was in danger of losing to the 188 pound Henry Cooper who had Ali out on his feet before the glove cutting incident. He also received a gift decision against Jimmy Young who is a lighter punching version of Chris Byrd. Was beat by Leon Spinks in Spinks 8th professional fight.

    We can do this sort of **** all day long. Obviously we aren't discussing fighters at the worst point in their careers. Judging Wladimir Klitschko on fights that happened 5, 6, and 11 years ago doesn't make much sense does it? Especially considering the fact that he is now in the midst of his prime and at his best.
