This is what the greatest looks like when he's firing on all cylinders. Notice the triple feint he uses to back him into a corner followed by a 10+ punch flurry. When someone can keep their hands at their side for an entire fight over the course of many fights and still make people afraid to hit them only using the fear of their speed, you can't compare them to anyone.

Chris Byrd doesn't fight in ANYWAY like that. Wlad wouldn't know what to do with a guy that was that fast, that tough, and that unintimidated.

I recently heard Teddy say something like... (referring to the champion Ali before he was banned)
.... add Winky's, Hopkins', and Jones' defense.... multiply it by 110 .... and you get Ali.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

His defense consisted of fear for his speed and really quick reflexes. He was a walking "What not to do" book of boxing but he made it work.

Ahahahaha,who compared todays HW to Ali?!?!?!

Good clip, i think London must have felt like head been shot by a machine gun after that.

Iv'e seen a clip of Ali sparring with his brother and he looked amazing.

Lennox Lewis or a Prime Wlad Klitschko would have killed him

That was the amazing thing about Ali
He just decides when the fight ends in that era,you can see it,he more or less decides,"Im bored,this ones over."
And it is

Ali had problems with boxers with a good jab, Look what larry Holmes done to him. Lennox & Wlad are much bigger and more skilled that Holmes or any other boxer he faced. They would bust Ali up and stop him. I don't see anything about this guy that makes him the greatest of all time. He was just a man with good boxing skills and a loud mouth, He sold himself...An to all you Ali fans from the past and now. YOU GUYS BOUGHT IT>

After watchong this vid twice, I'm very confident that Ali would eat a lot of jabs from Lewis or Klitschko and get stopped.

let me tell ya, before i used to think ali and foreman would be too small for the heavies of today...

but then i watched a OLD Ali vs 6'7 wepner, he was punching in and out, and boxing his head off. i thought ali fought like he did 9dancing and jabbing) against only small guys. but he fought bigger opponents and whooped em jus as bad,. i wondered a while ago how a 6'3 foreman would have done against a 6'7 heavy. cos he also destroyed smaller fighters. then i watched foreman almost kill the 6'6/ 6'7 cooney!

Ali and Foreman would kill the wlads and vitali's of this world.
i watched wlads fight against brewster (2) after hearing all the hype on how good the jab was, i wasnt impressed. yes the jab was excellent but wlad fought like a robot.

Wepner was not even close to cailber fighter of a Lewis or Klitschko. Didn't Wepner knock him down. And I was not talking about Foreman.
