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

    I'm Ali's biggest fan but i do believe the Klits would give Ali a certain amount of trouble especially Wlad. However Ali's speed,movement, and overall ring savvy would be too much.Ironically the tougher Vitali would come off worse simply through his lack of defence and his inclination to like a tear up.If you're easy to hit then you're in big trouble against Ali,it simply means you get busted up.Ali would simply be too fast for Vitali it would probably be stopped late.The more cautious and talented Wlad would be a tougher proposition.Wlad relies on the jab to set everything up,but he would be up against the fastest guy he ever fought with an almost equal reach and faster jab,the chances are Ali would take the jab away from Wlad and where would that leave him,is there a plan B? Ali's overall movement and speed of hand and foot the likes of which he'd never encoutered before would i believe bamboozle Wlad and i'd take Ali by decision here.Also don't be obsessed by size it wouldn't bean issue here and the 6'3'' Ali wasn't exactly a dwarf.Just think Tyson,Holyfield and for that matter Byrd.

    Of course they would give Ali huge problems. Dont know if they would win, although I wouldnt be surprised to see it

    The Klitschko Brothers dont have what was needed to beat the all-time great Ali, **** IMHO Holmes would have had a field day with either one of the Klitschko brothers. Holmes KOs both brothers in less than 9 rounds.....:smoke

    So youre saying this because they are big... So you think Wlad could beat a prime Tyson too?

    With Ali, you are seriously overlooking ring intelligence, and will to win.

    I think he would decision either brother, and I actually think he would do better against Vitali.

    Ill admit they would give him problems, but at the end of the day, Ali would be the victor.

    Yes, he had hella power!! I will say this though, the fact that Ali could see Foreman's punches coming two days in advance may have helped him in surviving that brutal attack. Wlad and Vitali both throw straight punches as opposed to Foreman's round house bombs. I still think Ali would've beat both brothers. I would add Holmes to the list of fighters that would've beat the bros. I'm not hating the bros, I respect both of their abilities. The 70's heavies were hell, and size or no size I believe that era of heavyweights stands alone to this day. The bros would've competed and won in that era, but they wouldn't sit at the top of the division the way they do now.

    All the thread says is that Klitschkos would give Ali huge problems............I never said the Klitschkos would win but that their chances weren't as low as some here would have you believe.

    Yeah, they would give Ali some problems.

    But they would both lose.

    Vitali by UD and Wlad by either UD or stoppage.

    I will go on record and say Vitali would possibly give Ali some trouble, I dont think Ali could mentally beat Vitali, whose about as tough as they come. Vitali would use his jab and straight right, to keep him honest. I do see Vitali winning the first half of the fight, but I see Ali's supreme condition and athletic ability, getting the best of Vitali, close fight, but my money is on Ali taking it by decision.

    Wlad would stand very little chance of beating Ali, his weak chin and mental physche would be exposed by Ali. Wlad would give Ali some troubles, but after Ali takes everything Wlad has to offer, things will begin to go down hill from there. Ali will begin to connect and Wlad will start fall apart as usually does when things get tough. Ali by 10th round TKO
