Ali by dec, a 9-6-ish or 8-4-ish type.

But still we need to hear it from Alpy, bring him on.

Same for Ali decision.

Ali wins by UD.

Prime on prime, Ali decision wide

[DrDuke]

Assuming Ali was in his prime and fought his best, he'd win a decision over Vitali. It would be a good, competitive fight because Klitschko would put his height, reach, and weight advantages to perfect use. That would make it hard for Ali to score with his jab, or to unleash combinations against Vitali. But on the other hand, Vitali wouldn't be able to land much leather against the lightning quick, elusive Ali.

Muhammad connects with just enough jabs and swiping rights to win enough rounds for a UD. Vitali would have his moments, and even win a few rounds, but he'd be the clear loser by the final bell.

Neither guy gets hurt or seriously cut in this bout. It would be a slow paced, tactical fight.

Sounds exactly like I see it.

Ali on points. Circa 1964-67, he was too fast!

[AntonioMartin]

Ali UD a bit like the Ernie Terrell thing...

Ali wide decision. Too fast for Vitali

[Seamus]

Ali wins by UD through 1975, after that VK wins.

[gilgamesh]

Vitali's strength would see him have his moments, but Ali would ultimately be too skilled and quick for him. Too mobile also assuming we're talking about the very best Ali.

That Rope a Dope sh*t wouldn't work. He'd need to move.

1960's Ali wins; 1970's Ali loses.
