Me too. Ali would be too big and too fast. That quick circling boxing style of Billie Conn really worked to give Louis fits till Conn got all impatient and crazy and tried to go toe to toe with The Bomber. The way I see it, Ali was a better boxer than Conn and just as fast if not faster. He also had the chin to go toe to toe with Louis, if necessary (not for the whole fight but if needed to in certain situations during the bout he could make it happen, he did take Foreman's wrecking ball hooks to the body for eight rounds; I think Foreman's power was pretty close to Louis's maybe slightly more or slightly less). Another thing, Ali had a super fast and hard right cross and overhand right. The quick overhand right gave Louis trouble oftentimes in his career (most visibly in his first fight with Schmeling but it can be seen in the Conn fight and others). I think Ali would be smart enough to employ that in his strategy and would take a UD. Don't know about taking 3 of 3 though. I can see Louis winning one. Shit, he aint a legend for nothin.
