I think you're probably wasting your time my friend....anyone that thinks exhaustion caused WALDOS legs to turn to jelly against Brewster rather than punches needs their ****ing head examining if you ask me. Prime Ali would absolutely clown WALDO for 6 rounds, take him into deep water, and drown him. These idiots think that because the Klits are taller and heavier, they're better atsch
I would pick Ali as well... but some food for thought. If Ali went to the ropes like Foreman did, Wlad would probably be smart enough not to waste energy like Foreman did. The "rope-a-dope" was a new concept then, it isn't now. A younger Ali would probably completely dazzle him, his speed was something to behold.
Whose punch? Of featherfisted Ali? Ali wouldn't even reach Wlad's head. How many times did you see someone really hitting Wlad in the face and doing it again? Except for Brewster (avenged) and Sanders Wlad has some of the best defenses ever. Ali's best bet would be go to the body. But since when has Wlad been KOed by body shots?
I suppose stopping the likes of Joe Frazier, George Foreman, and Sonny Liston gives Muhammad Ali's power zero credibility. atsch Ali beats Wladimir in a 12 round fight, and whichever way he chooses.
Ali stopped Liston in 6 and knocked him out in 1 in the rematch. He also knocked out George Foreman in 8 rounds, both those guys are locked in top 10 all time great heavies. WALDO took 11 rounds to beat feather fist Tony Thompson and went 19 rounds in 2 fights with even more feather fisted Byrd. Not to mention he took 7 laborous rounds to dispose of glass jawed Rahman. Good luck against Ali, WALDO, you'll need it :deal
Who in god's name has Wladimir fought that is even remotely close to the talent of a peak Muhammad Ali? Ross Purity could stop Wladimir, so I would favor the greatest Heavyweight fighter of all time to do it also.
Let's also not forget how crappy Ali's defense was (no wonder he got Parkinsons). Just watch Ali vs Norton, any round any time: Basically all of Norton's jabs land, even the slowest ones. There is no way Ali could withstand Wlad's bombs for many rounds.
Considering he's never been hit in the face much, how the hell does he have 3 losses and 13 career knock-downs? Diabetes? Exhaustion? Little green men? FBI? CIA? Man on the grassy knoll? You're making a **** of yourself again mate, put down the pipe and go to sleep.
Yeah, compare Sonny Liston (6'0''+) and Frazier (5'11''+) with Wlad. Yup, Foreman gassed (whether drugged or not). But Foreman is only 6'3''+. Remember Wlad vs Ibragimov? That small guy (Ibragimov, 219) was as light as Foreman (220) vs Ali. The heaviest Ali has ever KOed within 12 was 223 lbs, by the way. Ali has not seen anyone as tall and as heavy as Wlad.
Wow, a boxer has 3 losses. Ali will surely own him. Oh, wait, Ali has 5 losses. I take everything back. Ali will surely be owned.
