    Though I disagree with my intellectually limited friend's insult, he does (shockingly) make the correct point.

    Ali beat the best competition ever. The SECOND TIER guys Ali beat (Quarry, Shavers, Lyle, Mathis, Terrel, Foley, Williams) are better than many champions resumes.

    Look at Foreman, Frazier, Liston, Patterson and Norton, and there just is not a heavyweight champ that can match that.

    Haha, Klitschko nuthuggers, don't rely too much on the reach/range argument.

    Height and Reach:

    Ali: 6'3'' ; 203

    W. Klitschko: 6'6 ; 206

    As good H2H I think Wlad matches up, Ali Would probably UD or possibly stop him late if he gasses. Ali was not bullet proof and if Wlad caught him flush it could be bad. Ali 7 out of 10 maybe 8.

    It's NOT just height and reach.
    Sure, it's a factor, but not the deciding factor.
    There have been many taller fighters who just don't have the talent.
    In my opinion Wlad does.

    Wladimir Klitschko is the same guy that got KTFO by 225 lb Corrie Sanders and 225 lb Lamon Brewster right?

    Ali would give Klitschko fits with his speed and movement and stops Klitschko in about 8 - 10 rounds.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl Yes, Corrie Sanders, Ross Purrity, and Sam Peter are far better than Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Bob Foster, Ron Lyle, Henry Cooper, etc, etc. :-( The lack of boxing knowledge is getting worse everyday.

    KNN may not have been disrespectful to other posters, but she is being disrespectful to some of the greatest HWs in boxing history. The fact that she relies on such abstract stats to back up her argument indicates that she does not undestand conceptually the sport of boxing or is just trying without success to support a forced opinion.

    Don't think so. As great as Ali is, he is below average HW in terms of punching power.
