Question

Ali vs. Either Klitschko (In their Primes)- who wins, how, why?

Answer 1

that is a difficult call ,that depends on tha day and time vitally was  good but Vladimir is more intelligent fighter and gifted vitally was more powerful and durable ,now that Vladimir is in his prime we are to see the best of a legend to come.

The think is that ali can play anybody, wladimir can not take a lot of betting (like for example  lemon brewster ) but ali did not deliver power sots like Tyson or the klichko bros.

vitally in the other hunt did no deliver the best of him (I thin he did not reached his prime and did not performed his best in the Lenox fight .

SO...!i think that in there best Ali and Wlad have 50/50%.

It is so bud that we are not going to see this fight!

Answer 2

Ali for sure neither of the Klitschko's could even hold his jock strap they aren't even close in the skill level!!!!

Answer 3

Ali. That is a no brainer. Not enough skills to keep Ali from making both of them look like morons. You can't hit what you can't see. I am talking about the Ali that beat Liston.

Answer 4

If Ali could beat Foreman he would not have a problem with either brothers, the Heavys that Ali faced during his career were much better that the Klitschko brothers.

Answer 5

No comparison.

The best part of Vitali's game is the jab Emanuel Stewart taught him, and Emanuel taught it to him as a defensive measure in an effort to make it a little more difficult for opponents to crack that glass jaw of his.  Ali would have easily schooled the younger Klitschko, and if Vitali's chin would have lasted, which is a toss up, he would have been totally out classed.  The younger Klitschko, title aside isn't even as good as his older brother Vladimir.

The older Klitschko is a much better boxer than his little brother, much more aggressive, a harder puncher and can take a punch much better.  Against a normal fighter these attributes would lead you to believe he would perform better against Ali than Vitali, but Ali was far from normal, and actually performed better against the heavy hitters he faced than the boxers.  Precisely because Vladamir would be pressing, coming forward and sitting down on his Punches more than his little brother, Ali would take him apart faster.  Ali's hand speed and lateral movement would make the older Klitschko seem slow and plodding.  Odds are good he wouldn't last the distance and if the fight wasn't stopped on cuts, he would end up like Liston or Forman, the victim of a KO from a punch that just didn't seem like it had the steam to take down a giant.  Like Joe Louis said, "get hit with enough of them and rain drops hurt".  Ali would have landed at will, and eventually both Klitschko's would have fallen.

Ali by KO, both times with the younger Vitali lasting a few rounds longer than his older, better brother.  Ali tended to fight up or down to he level of the fighter in front of him, and being brave and aggressive against him wouldn't have helped Vladamir.

Answer 6

Random Hero or Random fool....Not sure there's a difference. It does take to much time to do some homework and realize Ali was 36 yrs old. A little more homework and you'll find out that Ali's best years were pre-layoff before he ever fought Frazier. The Spinks fight was 1978, Ali's best years were in the 1960's

Maybe these fact aren't available on PlayStation but if you're gonna express an opinion, try getting the facts remotely correct!

As far as this question, its ridiculous! Ali is an all time great! Who ruled the greatest era of heavyweights.

Vlad is the best at a very bad period of time for the heavyweights.

Answer 7

Many experts say Ali and I suppose thats who I would want to win but today these two guys are bigger and stronger because the advancements in training technology so it is quite possible Vitaly could beat Ali he would be a better contender than his Brother

Answer 8

This is a fight between a superior boxer versus a taller but slower opponent. That remind me of the Larry Holmes vs Gerry Cooney bout. Muhammad Ali by TKO.

Answer 9

In his prime Ali was able to defeat every top heavyweight contender out there, and I would be willing to wager that he woud figure out a way to defeat either of the Klitschko brothers.  Remember that the devision was packed with great fighters when Ali was around- Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston, Earnie Shavers, and Ali beat them all.  Today, Wladimir is dominating the heavyweight scene, but compare the fighters that Ali beat to the fighters that Wladimir beat- Chris Byrd and Calvin Brock, and there virtually is no comparison.

Edit: To random hero- when Ali lost to Leon Spinks he was not in his prime and he was out of shape for their first fight.   IF he was in his prime, he would have had no trouble with him. Plus, he DID beat Spinks in their rematch when he became the first heavyweight to gain the title for a third time.  And if you want to talk about Klitscko's losses- do you even know who Ross Puritty is?  And Corrie Sanders knocked him silly in under 2 rounds.  So Wladimir may not ever lose to a fighter with 6 or 7 wins but he has lost to a fighter with 13 losses.  Now, if you want to talk about Vitali- he has to beat all the fighters his brother couldn't beat and he lost in his two biggest fights (Chris Byrd and Lennox Lewis) contreversially or not, they are still 2 losses on his record and he too does not hold a candle to Ali.  Yeah he could hit hard, but George Foreman hit harder and look at what Ali did to him.  And yes. spinks only had 7 fights, but he had an extensive amateur career and was an olympic gold medalist.   And, as I said before, Ali was well past his prime and he won the rematch, so the Spinks fight should not even come up when comparing Ali to either of the Klitschko's.  My point is made.

Answer 10

ali lost in his prime to LEON SPINKS who only had 6 fights, that would never happen klitschko.

To: mark Andrew M. klitschko lost to purity and sanders yes, but his brother came and knocked those two out anyway. and can you honestly imagine someone with 6 fights beating klitschko?
