Ali was 6'3 and fought at 214 lbs in his prime.


Same size.


Haye has a wide back and big thighs, Ali was long and lanky. They don't fight anything a like either.

What other set if brothers have been better in the history of sport?


The only ones that I think could challenge them would be Big poison & Little poison.

I think the Harbaugh brothers could give the Manning's a run for their money when it is all said and done.

Pretty impressive to have 2 brothers coaching opposite each other in the Superbowl.

When I said style I was referring to a more general strategic approach versus tactical. Both valued speed over power and both preferred to outwork opponents rather than rely on their power alone.

Not to say either didn't have power when they wanted it, but their general approach was to wear opponents down by outworking them.

End my portion of the boxing hijack.


Go team DiMaggio!

My initial point is that they would be competitive in any era and fight for championships based on their size, skill and power. You brought up Ali. I responded that I think both brothers would beat him. That's a personal opinion and a side point that no one can win.



Right. Boxers like Lennox and the Klitschko brothers would be successful in any era. To say otherwise is showing your ignorance about boxing.
