Can ANYBODY in history defeat 1967 Ali?

[Master]

Ok with a gun to your head and you had to put every asset and last penny you had on a contest between Ali v each of the below in their prime where would it go....

i) Tyson
ii) Lewis
iii) Holyfield 91
iv) Louis
v) Holmes
vi) Bruno


I'd go Ali every bout. I'd be nervous about some which would be closer but wouldn't be a tough decision to put it all on Ali

Probably only if pushed Lennox.

From that list my order of giving Ali most trouble would be Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Louis and Bruno.

Bruno aside I think Tyson would be Ali's easiest night of that lot. He's have made a fool of him.

Anyway all my money on Ali as said

You can pretty much see how Tyson would do vs Ali by taking a look at 4 fights of Ali. The 2 vs Liston and the 2 vs Patterson. Tyson was Floyd Patterson with more of a Sonny Liston attitude. Sure Floyd was older when he fought Ali but he'd have similar struggles cutting off the ring with such a fleet footed opponent, getting around Ali's reach, and avoiding the quick flurries of punches from Ali on the inside.

I think Ali would have more trouble with the longer fighters who were better schooled boxers and larger than he was. But hey, I'm sure Ali beats everyone every day and twice on Sunday.....saying anything to the contrary is verboten.
