If Lennox Lewis had rematched Vitali Klitschko.........

How do you think Ali would have done against Adamek in 1971? Foreman? Joe was a gold medalist. He was very fit. He was a brutal puncher with the left hook. He was heart and determination. To say he was overrated is silly.

I think Adamek would have gotten Ali as well.

The performance of Ali in 1971 was terrible! Before Wladimir vs Povetkin, FOTC was the clinchiest fight of all time! And not just regular clinching, head down pushing, grabbing behind the neck, constant taunts. Between all the running and holding there was only about half a fight worth of actual boxing from Ali. Ali did very little effectively!

Most of all, Frazier mounted a very simple and limited attack based around his famous left hook which Muhammad seemed to be completely blind to.

This was no coincidence. Muhammad Ali had always relied on his height and reach coupled with his speed and sense of distance to land his shots outside and get away undamaged. All the time masking a truth about Ali that first surfaced in his fight with Frazier..

Ali had no reflexes! The 70's Ali had slowed down considerably and could not run from his opponents like he used to, and it turned out Ali was no Chris Byrd, he could not stand in front of his opponent and not get hit and Frazier chased him down and landed the same punch on him all night.

Tomasz Adamek would basically have a human punch bag in front of him! Because that's what Ali of the 70's relied on most... Chin and punch resistance!

You are amazing.

Against Foreman, NO. Adamek did not have the formula to survive against Foreman let alone win. Ali definitely had the edge here! But I do think Adamek survives longer than Frazier did!
