What would happen if Klitschko called out Ali's opponents?

[Max Power]

P4P Klitchko loses to both those those ALL TIME GREATS!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

It's the HW division!

And the combatants fight the way they do based on what their body is suited for. Wladimir's style has been "perfected" based on his body and his opponents.

Ali's struggled against even his smaller opponents! Wladimir is a dominant champ, Ali was not! Let's not forget it's Ali who outsized his opponents more than Wladimir so don't give me lb 4 lb.

Want to start lb 4 lb, What about Mayweather? Don't tell me many from the past could compete with Floyd!

If the All Time Greats from the past had the nutrition, scientific training methods and steroids that today's fighters have they'd DESTROY the current heavyweight division!

Except most of those guys didn't have exceptionally well rounded skills. Some of them could barlely box and some were fundamentally flawed. So I'm sceptical whether that is even true.

Joe Louis did have well rounded skills, power and athleticism.

I will concede to you that if you take Joe Louis, make him taller and more heavily built through nutrition, give him pad work and modern interval training and the same recovery cycles etc than modern athletes enjoy and the steroids to allow him a higher volume of training without breaking down then maybe you are right. I can swallow this.

But if you take a guy like Marciano and scale him up I don't buy it. He would be Lamon Brewster. He'd come forward, be tenacious, hit really hard and take a lot of punches. But he'd be slower and still not especially skilled and he would be beat mate. But THAT's now just my opinion

You're wrong. He'd be a bigger, stronger, tougher Rocky Marciano that would DESTROY any current heavyweight in his path.

Maxpower your theories are bullshit ....

On July 4, 1919, Dempsey and World Heavyweight Champion Jess Willard met at Toledo, Ohio, for the world title. Some knowledgeable observers such as Benny Leonard predicted a victory for Dempsey against the vastly larger champion; many called the fight a modern David and Goliath. In the event Willard was knocked down seven times—all in the first round—although it should be remembered that rules at the time permitted standing almost over a knocked-down opponent and hitting him again as soon as both knees had left the canvas. Willard's corner would not let him answer the bell for the fourth round. He was widely reported to have suffered a broken jaw, broken ribs, several broken teeth and a number of deep fractures to his facial bones.


Dempsey was a TINY Heavyweight (14 stone mark) and used to smash bigger fighters to pieces with ease.
