End of the line Ali v prime Cleaveland "BIG CAT" W
Thought I would have a little fun and reverse the situation,When Ali put on his finest display in a boxing ring ,Cleveland Williams was not the man he used to be.A bullet lodged in his body and 7 years past his prime meant it was unlikely he would beat Ali.Ali said he thought it would be a easy night due to Williams age but admitted he was surprised by Williams power. So how would a fight between a end of the road (Leon Spinks) Ali and a prime ,in his pomp Williams had gone? I run this fight 10 times through the computer using the tile bout programme and 8 times it came up with a TKO win for Williams between the 6th and 12th round.How do you guys see it going? Ali still had a fantastic heart and knew many tricks but would Williams have just hit to hard or perhaps Ali even then could have suckered him and edged out a win? opinions please

Ali-Williams
Williams split with Terrell, drew with Machen & knocked out a lot of guys named Joe. Those are the highlights of an overhyped career. He could hit, but Ali could take a hit. The Ali Holmes & Berbick beat would lose to Williams. The Ali Spinks split with in 78 would beat him every time.
having said that Spinks did manage to beat a admittedly worn ,unmotivated Ali and become champion of the world!-
