Versus current era boxers
Vs 1991 Evander Holyfield-Holyfield would be in big trouble against the jab of Ali, although I think he would stand up the whole time. Ali would never be in trouble here. If Holyfield became desperate which he could have done in 1991 when he still had his legs, the second half of the fight may of become interesting, but only to a degree. Prediction-Ali Unanimous Decision.
Vs 1988 Mike Tyson-Tyson would not have lasted against Ali, it is pure and simple. Tyson would have been tied up as only Ali could do and gotten frustrated, Ali and his jabs would have slowly wore Tyson down until the point where Tyson made a mistake. Prediction-Ali KO in 11
Vs 1999 Lennox Lewis-Lewis' trademark is being the fast big guy. Ali was much faster however and the size difference would have been negated by the Ali jab. I think this one is going the distance in something like a 11-1 or 13-2 white wash depending on the length of the fight.
Prediction-Ali unanimous Decision.
