    1. Taking averages is bull, Ali weighed 210 lbs at 22yrs old and upto age 24-25yrs fought at numerous weights upto and around 215lbs. After his exile went up and down in weight between 215-230lbs depending on the opponent ie fighting Frazier at 215 in 1971 Up to 226 to for Mathis and back down to 220 for blin in the same year, it’s no secret that Ali’s best years were not seen so all I’m saying is ALi in let’s say 68-69 with no lay off REAL PRIME weighing 220 would have seen a younger more active ALi carry that weight at similar speeds to the pre exile ALI 212-215 ALi. when you look at a David Haye at 220 against bellow he his ripped to shreds like a blown up body builder same as usyk will look same as Holyfield looked, now think to yourself if ALi trained with weights in the gym as long as them and took the same supplement ‘s or whatever they take how much do you think ALI would have weighed? Especially when you think ALI’S training was nearly all cardio designed to lose weight not gain weight (and we know muscle weighs heavier) it’s also true Ali’s walking around weight was around 240 lbs after the age of 29yrs all be it fat and overweight a bit like a modern heavy lol, So he would have weighed a lot more than 220 so there for it makes sense he is a bigger framed man, so let’s say his best weight is 220lbs in 68-69 27yrs or 28yrs old no inactivity(real prime) at that weight imo he would have too much speed and enough size to trouble these heavies today.

    The question is does he want to? Does he have the discipline? I wouldn't be surprised if he was pigging out on junk food already on his way back to 300lbs.
