Prime Holyfield vs prime Joe Frazier

[Primo Carnera]

This is why you have to be careful comparing different eras. in Ali's era, the vast majority of HW's are smaller than today. nowadays ,they also have much more high tech training facilities , various supplements (even the legal ones) that benefit athletes of today. Fuck me, they should be better Today!
Even in other sports this is the case . for example, Athletics, World Records get beat and times go down all the time. Jesse Owens wouldn't make an Olympic final now, does that mean a guy who finishes last in the final is greater than Jesse Owens? that's Bullshit!
and when it comes to Ali, I have to take issue a bit . I would say he is about the same size (6 foot 2 or 3 , 210LBS.) as Haye. I would wager that most people believe Ali would beat Haye. and that is despite the fact that Ali's prime was 45 years ago, he didn't have access to the training facilities and techniques that Haye did and didn't have the benefit of nutrition and supplement advances that Haye has.
With all those disadvantages Ali had , the only boxer who I can think of who succeeded in similar circumstances was Rocky vs Drago!!!
there has to be a bit of licence for the era someone was born in, or it's pointless even talking about it.

You really are an imbecile of course I am talking about those standards as that is all Ali could do is fight in those standards just as Wlad can fight in these standards.

20 years from now we will get Max Power junior talking the same crap you will about Wlad because they may be considered small.

Bigger does not mean better. I have no doubt Tyson and Lewis would wipe the current peak and experienced Wlad. Tyson would be regarded as smaller but he certainly hit harder.

Maybe your right there Master. Lennox might beat Wlad, but then again Lennox struggled with HEAPS of opponents that we pretty much know would never lose a round against. And Tyson was tied up by Green and Tillis, dudes who would never step into a ring with current Wladimir, and he was thoroughly bashed badly by featherfist bummy Buster Douglas. So equally plausible is Wladimir outboxes Lennox and dismantles Tyson, probably knocking both out.

Sorry but in a H2H match up, bigger statistically gives you a MAJOR advantage. Therefore is IS better, not by assumption, but by incontivertible fact.

A good big man, beats a good little man all else equal. AND a heavy bum can cause more problems sometimes than a light skilled fighter because they are often more dangerous!

There will only be a Max Jnr 20 years from now sprouting similar stuff about this generation if my generation of fans become as naïve as the OTNB are today and assume that the Klitschko era will never be beaten and featured boxers of the highest quality and the new era is inept (as occurs today). However I think we are now in an awakening.

For the first time in history, many of us have woken up and realised we ARE in the best era NOW, BEFORE that era is long in the past (as has happened since the dawn of boxing. It has been claimed that boxing has been getting progressively worse since its inception!)

Good one buddy, you compare featherfist Ali to knockout artist Haye. Haye has some of the most outstanding reflexes ever seen at HW ever. Ali was a human punching bag of unmatched disgrace. At any given weight, Haye is heaps faster than Ali, not to mention several times more powerful.

Ali would not last more than 3 rounds with David Haye, not under any circumstances!

Haye would KO Ali with or without a broken toe,! I BET YOUR GOOD TO YOUR WIFE YOU NEVER GO HOME.

I just don't understand why so much stock is put into Haye at heavyweight based on beating up John Ruiz. It has to be that because he certainly has not done anything else there, literally.

Do not listen to Max. In his eyes Have beat Ali even David himself would disagree.

Yes I can just imagine David Haye being REAL intimidated by a guy who went balls to the wall with Doug Jones, got plastered by Henry Cooper and realistically got beaten by such luminary opponents like Bum Jimmy Young and bum beater Earnie "I can't even box" Shavers, for which they were robbed of their efforts.

Haye could not hold a candle to such overacheievers.

All his athleticism, speed, reflexes, elusiveness, counterpunching skills and power would be near worthless against those boys, but not Ali, he doesn't need any real skills, just heart and balls, the "unmeasurable" quantities.

Wlad lost to fucking bum when he was a younger man and few contenders from the 90's. He maybe better now but it not like the Hw division full of talent right now. The reason being is that there are sports that most of our big men play in now is Basketball and Football Boxing not there anymore well at least for bigger guys really. I mean ali got decked a dew times early in his career but he did not lose. Wlad early loses were against guys who did jack shit really before and after him kinda hurts the legacy and he wont fight best fighter in his era.
