    Yes. He may have had a little trouble with Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles, but no one else would trouble him. (Ali told Howard Cossell that he would have trouble with Walcott's shuffling style)

    Prime Ali would in all likelihood had been unbeaten in that era. Walcott is the one who would have given him the most trouble probably, but still... Ali, when he still had his speed, was only given trouble by guys who pressed him. He was too fast and accurate to try to be slick against. If Walcott did something similar to what Folley did he might have some success, though...

    What version of Ali are we talking about? The faster but more inexperienced, fragile and vuilnerable Ali of the 60s? Or the slower, cagier, tougher more durable Ali of the 70s? Anyway, the first version would lose to Rocky and the second one could lose to Walcott or Charles at least once in multiple fights.
     
  12. you continues saying this bull**** "fragile ali" ali was green in 60-63 but he was unstoppable in 64-67 and he did beat liston,williams,chuvalocooper(rematch)... yes, then a fragile man would beat them...and they could not even hurt ali. ali 60s was not always the same fighter, 60-63 was green,he was a boy , 64-67 he was in his prime , he was a man, and he was the best hw ever.if you are insinuating that he was better in the 70s
    a) you know **** about boxing,
    b) you are drunk

    and any version of ali 64-76 would beat charles and walcott with a hand in the back.

    Ali would only have to dominate for 5years at the top to match Rocky's feat

    we usually disagree but you don't usually post such crap.sorry bodhi but you're just wrong.
    any version apart from the 76 on ali would beat rocky
