I'm not sure which Klitschko you're talking about, but it really doesn't matter, because neither Vitali nor Wlad should even be mentioned in the same sentence as Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis.
I get that part of your argument is the weight issue, but if Ali and Louis had access to 21st century training techniques, both of them would give either of the Klitschko brothers an asskicking.
In fact, they could probably do it even without the modern training.
Well that is your opinion because neither Ali or Louis ever fought a guy like Wladimir or Vitali.Ali didn't have the kind of Power that would threaten Vitali whatsoever and even Wladimir for that matter.I couldn't imagine Wladimir's record if he had made a career out of fighting guys that were 205lbs!As it is 43ko's in 48 wins fighting guys who average between 240 to 250lbs!There is no way that Ali gives either of the Klitschko's an "asskicking".Ali was not a god.
Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster, each of whom left a battered Wlad laying on the canvas, both weighed a mere 225 pounds. Neither of them were that much heavier than Ali. In fact, Ali weighed 224 1/2 when he fought the Thrilla in Manila.
As you see, it hardly takes a great offensive fighter/puncher to hurt or beat Wlad, unless you're going to argue that Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster are better offensive fighters than Muhammad Ali was.
