More like the the ALL-TIME GREAT!:rofl I cant believe what I've read from this guy! I mean come on....Wlad is a good fighter and all but he didnt do half of the stuff Ali did...Its plain as day, yet that shitbag still argues about how Wlad has surpassed Ali and would KO the feather fisted Ali...Now that comedy there!:rofl
Wow, you surely found the font size key. I guess you must be right then... if you are shouting soooo loud. What are you trying to deduct from losses? How is chinachin and featherfist and bummy Spinks 26(14)-17(9) in the same league like Klitschko? How could Ali lose against Spinks but win against Wlad if we follow your logic.
And so what Earnie Shavers was one of the hardest hitting heavyweight and he didnt get very far:-(...Power isnt everything....Ali would beat guys with smarts not just speed and power.
Now a statement like "Wlad may be strong but Shavers was also strong and failed" is basically a valid statement. Shavers has a KOratio of 40%+ against non-bummy 200+ opponents, that's rather good but compared to Klitschko 80% it's merely half as much, but nevertheless basically it's a valid statement. But what has the loss to Spinks to do with a possible loss to Wlad? What has the loss to Sanders to do with a possible loss to Al? THAT's what's a wrong statement by sdsfinest22.
This thread says a lot about how many so called boxing fans are more or less clueless. Head to Head Ali needs his absolute A-Game and a very good day to beat Klitschko. Not because Klitschko is better skillwise, but he is extremly hard to beat, even to reach now. Klitschko is boxing 40 years later. Thats another sport now. He is a nutrition monster and a extremly fast 6`6" guy, Ali never has fought in his career. Never ever come to the idea to compare Klitschko with someone like Ernie Terrell. Dont forget Ali had trouble with much worse fighters than Klitschko in his career, but nevertheless 70 % think he KO´s Klitschko??? Come on guys, that unrealistic. I can see a tough 50-50 fight going over 12 rounds. Ali is not god and was beatable. Guys like Frazier, Norton, Henry Cooper or Doug Jones showed us that.
..................I ve got a friend that was a sparring partner of clay and he says he would give either klitschko a better that 60% chance of beating clay...........just like frazier did just like norton did just like spinks did .........................
Wlad has a tough style for wlad. He's a good boxer with size but Ali in his prime wins on pts in a competitive but clear manner. Now Ali in his 70's became far more stationary and took quite a bit of punishment in his fights. The rope-a-dope won't work on wlad. He will jab your head and fire off the occasional right/left if u lay on the ropes. he's not gonna gas himself anymore. Ali's intelligence and savvy cannot be underestimated though and although not a real big puncher, he threw a very sharp punches especially that right cross. So Wlad's paper mache chin wouldn't be immune here. There would be lots of clinching which favors wlad, the stronger and bigger man. I could see either man winning. If Wlad fights smart, he could win on pts but going 15 rounds is a big ask. Take power off his shots and just box. I could see both men never getting into an offensive flow due to the clinching. 60's Ali wins on pts or late tko. 70's Ali wins on pts. or loses on pts.
YOUR IGNORANCE SHOWS IN THIS POST!!! PURRITY AND SANDERS COULD BEAT WLAD BUT ALI COULDNT?? :huhFREAKIN STUPID ASS
Why do you leave out the fact that Ali was at the end of his career..Cant say the same for Wlad when he was beat by Sanders and Brewster!:yep
He was nearly 4 years from the end of his career. But as I said, you cannot conclude from a loss against completely different opponents that X will lose against Y. That's ridiculous. Ali is actually a bad example, but take Foreman: "Foreman lost against Young so how could he win against Wlad" is a RIDICULOUS conclusion.
