This post should have actually been called "What's the over/under for which RD Ali KO's Wlad?" The guy who said Ali would box circles, jab the **** out of Klit, the destroy him with vicious combo's described this hypothetical "dream-match" exactly how I envision it. Really think about it. You actually think a one-dimensional man of any size would give the versatility, skill, and swagger of Ali trouble? Really?! You must be new to the sport, extremely high, bored, or borderline autistic. Which?
So true Wladimir's predictable 1, 2 is not going to do squat since Ali had an 80" reach and was a tall heavyweight himself.
lol Ali is 6'3 1/2 with an 80" reach. Unlike most Wladimir opponents, Ali can counter Wladimir with his own jab. Wladimir is nothing new that a young Clay has never seen.
Based on styles I give Wlad more chance of beating Ali than guys like Lewis, Tyson and Foreman, but I don't see him destroying Ali at all. Ali's ability to move and punch would give Wlad real trouble and I think it would be a fascinating fight
get the heck outta here. Klitschko would own Ali. It don't matter what Ali tries. He'd be a pesky mosquito to Klitschko. ALi don't got the dynamite to do any damage, Klitschko totally controls Ali and beats on him if he don't run away for 12 rounbds like he did on Liston. Pure mismatch. Ali was great in his day but Klitschko would dominate and make him look like a light punching cruiserweight.
Wlad actually has a chance against Ali, because Ali was never a noted puncher. Ali might still have possessed enough mustard to stop Wlad though, particularly as Wlad tires in the middle to late rounds.
So being 6-6 and leaning back, while pumping a long jab into the face of a plodding bum half your size is revolutionary is it? You just need to give up on boxing, you dont have a ****ing clue. Its almost downright disrespectful. Take away his size and where is he? He is a ****ing robot who is good at what he does. But seriously, **** off.
See that's the thing. you K smallers dont see the genius. Ed Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, Terrell, Cooney, Carl Williams and all those tall boxers would have tried Klitschkos style if they could have. it's not as easy as it looks, Wlad just makes itlook e asy. It's much more than just leaning back and jabbing -- that's a simplistic ignorant's way to look at it. Klitschko has created a new style after his losses, which no one can even come close to solving. Repeat after me, GOAT GOAT GOAT,
