    Greggains will simply examine all of Ali’s strengths and makes his own rules ANTI same.

    Greggains pre fight instructions geared to Ali only:-

    “There’ll be none of that fancy dancing and swaying out of the way of punches shenanigans - you do that stuff and I’ll DQ yer, on the spot!

    Ah, I see that’s a pretty good jab you’ve got on yer, well obviously you’ll get no credit from me for that, every time you land it I’ll score a point for Marvin - since it will uphold Hart’s durability and willingness to make the fight.

    Finally, if you don’t move senselessly forward while taking shots and grunting and groaning for best effect, clearly you’re not try’n’. Also if you remain “pretty” and unmarked at final bell - we’ll again, you lose. I’ll be also scoring (in Hart’s favour) every lump, bruise, cut etc. on Marvin’s face.

    Now, good luck fellas, let’s fight and may the worst man win!”

    If I ever create a troll account, I'm going to name it Greggains for maximum reaction.

    Yeah, I don't think anybody from Hart's/Johnson's era would manage to outbox Ali under Ali's rules. The skill gap is too large.

    Hart's best chance is the same as Johnson's would be: Hope that the 60s ref allows enough inside wrestling that the old-timer can injure Ali roughhousing in the clinches. Terrible strategy for a single fight. Maybe viable in an ultramarathon rivalry.

    :lol:

    Ali might be able to beat Johnson's opponents doing a Joe Frazier impression, so I'm not even sure Greggains could pull this out.

    Actually now this one is a different choice. Frank Bruno is probably the worst one to do it. He is big, VERY strong has a monster shot and a decent jab. A combination of all those things on top of Frank never coming in bad shape might just lead to a win eventually.

    He might eventually blind Ali with cumulative eyepokes, but I'm not even sure that would work. See Terrell.

    Actually. Golota he wouldn't take a beating his longevity would be crazy if it got tough he'd just DQ out. If he is forced into a rematch over and over again after using Ali's "jewls" as a speed bag long enough Ali will likely stop producing TEST. I reckon Andy could beat a eunuch Muhamad.

    "This just in Muhammad Ali has flung himself from the golden gate bridge just moments after his management initiated the rematch clause. "

    Golota actually isn't a bad pick. He's a good, technically proficient fighter who's hard to KO for non-punchers, and he's crazy enough to cheat relentlessly. Pretty long career, too. I could see him inflicting a career ending injury on Ali if given enough chances.

    If he understood the circumstance he'd take a knife into the ring...

    Ali's religious bodyguards might have something to say about that after the DQ...

    The thing with Ali is that he could get pretty rough in there in kind also when the situation demanded it - I think an uppercut to the nuts would constitute itself as a pretty strong “demand”.

    Ali just might give the Pole’s jewels a good polish in return. Ali might even get away with it better, unseen by most eyes. His newly created weapon duly described as the Phantom Nut Punch.

    It will only be the unmistakable post effects of watery eyes, grimacing and groin clutching that will indicate to the audience that something must’ve landed in the Nether Lands.

    Never forget the golden rule: Protect your nuts at all times. Source ref: Jack Dempsey’s guide to boxing. All pages.

    He might just DQ out even if winning, because **** you that's why. (I mean, is there any other reason for the DQ in his second fight against Bowe where he was beating the snot out of Bowe?)
