Hi All,

By that I mean when you think about fights like Vitali KLitschko vs Ali you have to take into account the size disparity, aswell as styles making fights because I could see Klitschko having a much harder time against prime mike tyson than Ali would, breaking it down and taking into account alll the aspects that make a great fighter, who is THE greatest heavyweight of all time(the one that beats the most fighters and the most styles. nobody can beat everybody).


Note - don't just give a name, give reasoning on why a certain fighter could handle so many different styles and fighters which make him the greatest

I would have to go with the Prime Ali,,but first of all I have to disagree with you regarding Klitchsko having a harder time with Tyson than with Ali.

Giving that we are talking about Vlad Klitchscko.Tyson would walked right him,easy KO in the early to middle rounds,Vladimar would have held him of with that jab for a few rounds and even managed a few good right hands,but Tyson would have got to him,with his hooks and uppercuts.

Klitchscko would also have been an easy fight for Ali..When I think of Ali vs Klitscko,I think of Ali vs Terrell,except this would have a tko middle to late rounds..Ali would have made a fool of Vlad with his circling and jabbing,combinations etc,Ali would have even cut him up hence the TKO..

I honostly cant see see any of the past Heavyweight Champions except Joe Louis or Maybe Jack Johnson who would have given Ali trouble

Ali himself has admitted that Joe louis could have beaten him only for the fact that Louis was fast from the waist up.Ali said he would have beaten him with leg speed,using Billy Conn as his example

Ali also said that Johnson was another who he would have had trouble with,admitting that Johnson was a great defensive fighter and carried a big punch,but again would have beaten him with his speed,jabbing and combinations.. Unanimous decision for Ali


As Bert Sugar said the Klitscko brothers are the worst Heavyweight Champions since Primo Carnera


The prime Ali ..the night he KOd Cleveland Wiliiams,the victories over Frazier and all the leading contenders,,The speed of a middleweight ,,the handspeed,,the great chin and the adaptibility of being able to change his fight plan in the middle of a fight,e.g. the Foreman fight,proves to me without a doupt that Muhammad Ali was and still is the greatest Heavyweight ever..

If Ali is still on his prime i think he will defeat Klitschko.
