If Wlad had the chin of Muhamed Ali he'd be the best heavyweight ever
To be fair Holfield fighting Bowe and Lewis is like Mayweather fighting Halger or Monzon when you look at the size difference and to be clear i dont think that PBF would beat either of them to say the least. He looked human because the guys he was fighting were alot bigger then him most of the time and think he faced alot better competion lets not forget he fought in the one of the best era of Heavyweights but i see your point.
Like Hopkins he stayed in a divsion were he was bigger then most and never moved up till later and Jones competion was not much better. Mayweather was great at SFW and LW but after that besides Oscar did not fight the tough fights he could of in the other divsion. IF Holyfeild stayed at Cruiser weight were he was dominate like no other he proably would not have lost but he has faced and beat just as good as guys if not better then all the fighter i mentioned and that is all i got to say.
Floyd Mayweather moved up 5 weight classes and ODLH had a 1 stone advantage, it was like a very small Jr Middleweight, fighting a Middleweight.
RJJ moved up to Heavyweight to fight John Ruiz, And John Ruiz had over 30 pound advantage, RJJ wasn't even 200 pounds it was like a Cruiserweight vs Heavyweight.
Well Holyfeild started at 175 in his career and he was fighting Bowe who weighed in like at 247 which was 30 pounds heavier then Holyfeild weighed in at and let me see like 72 pounds above his starting weight i say that is just as bad as Mayweather fought Oscar at 154 which was 24 pounds above his starting weight and i think Bowe was better fighter the Ruiz and the size difference with Ruiz and Jones was about the same with Holyfeild and Bowe was i just feel Holyfeild was a better pound for pound fighter.
Not to mention Lewis atg he was fighting past prime and he weighed in at 30 pounds above him and 70 pounds above were he started his career.
How is Evander Holyfield a better P4P fighter ? all 3 of those fighters RJJ, Mayweather, Hopkins, have done great things at multiple weightclasses.
And Evander Holyfield was no way a natural 177 pounder. He is easily naturally over 210 pounds, in most of his fights at Heavyweight he was 210 pounds or over, he was 217 pounds against Riddick Bowe in there 2nd fight, in arguably Evander Holyfield's best performance.
Which means he is very comfortable at over 210 pounds, where as RJJ couldn't make the Heavyweight limit, nor could Floyd Mayweather make the Jr Middleweight limit.

I think it would be more like Mayweather fighting a primed Cotto or Margarito........oh wait.Its really apples & oranges in difference,stylistically,attitude wise and such.Yeah...Mayweather was a better p4p skilled fighter imo but they were nothing alike.Holyfield did not want to be pretty,he wanted knock heads.
So...... in your mind the only thing Muhammad Ali had on Wlad Klitshcko is a better chin? Your freaking nuts, that's not even worth responding to. Seriously HAH. The only way Wlad would have a chance in hell against Ali is if their chins were in fact replaced with one anothers, and Wlad would still have to hope to hell to land something in 12 rounds where he would otherwise be getting schooled badly. But whatever you think Lyle.
I was trying to prove a point when someone posts this....
My point was to show how ridiculous ICB's post was....but if you want to talk about how Muhammed Ali could beat up God then go right ahead....let's just sit back and read about the greatness that is Ali traveling the Earth and beating everyone at boxing.....I think all his losses should be wiped off his record because he like KirklandLaing and the Pope is infallible.....so to make a long story short I am fucking tired of hearing about how great Ali was....fuck him. Everytime anyone posts anything with the name Ali in it the Ali fanatics (who are worse than the Calzaghe fans, worse than the Toney fans, simply put they are the worst fans ever) jump on whoever questions Ali or comes close to doubting him.

How was my post ridiculous ? i said if James Toney had Floyd Mayweather's dedication to training he could of been as good as Floyd Mayweather. what is ridiculous about post ? please tell me.
And how does that compare to if Wladimir Klitschko had Muhammad Ali's chin he would be the best HW ever
Wladimir Klitschko is too robotic, he has stamina issues which caused him to lost to Ross Purity not his weak chin. Amongst a list full of other flaws.

This would have been great at one point, maybe when James was at cruiser.
Now James has slown down too much probably, Hopkins a bit too quick.
Yea maybe, I don't really like the idea of Hopkins putting on 25+ pounds to fight at HW this age though? Toney could just be to strong having been walking around so much bigger for years. Either way it wouldn't really have a lot of merit if it were to happen at this point imo, neither guys have the time to waste on this.. Toney might have something left he might not, Hopkins definetly does but how long would it take him to put on that much weight properly yada yada..
