Chess boxing, who wins? Obviously not current Ali as he passed away bit peak Ali vs current Carlsen.
Ali's jab covered 17" of distance in less than .04 seconds, and smashed through a board in .19 seconds. In one bout he landed 11 punches in less than 3 seconds. The man threw from odd angles and he had power.
Only way Magnus wins is if it's when Ali had Parkinson's Disease.

Depends, if they start boxing first or chess
Four minutes of chess, then three minutes of boxing. All Ali has to do is not get mated in four minutes. Full credit to Carlsen, he looks fit and I'd fancy his chances against most but he would be severely hospitalized against any version of Ali who was still actively boxing.
Ali played boxying using tactical attacking, psychological attacking, and strategy, magnus in chess is tactical strategic and psychological maybe??
Muhammad Ali would lose, but Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr would win!
There's probably a joke I'm missing, #6, but Ali changed his name after the Sonny Liston.
Before that fight, nobody gave Ali a chance - you had journalists who mapped out ambulance routes from the arena to the hospital so they could best station photographers to get shots of Clay. Liston was a bad man, a mean mutha. He was a leg breaker for the mob, had served time for beating up a cop and for armed robbery.
Clay was viewed as this brash kid whose ego covered up his nervousness and was out of his depth in the heavyweight division, and lacked the power and chin to defeat someone like Liston.
Obviously Clay won, and subsequently changed his name, but all of his greatest fights were fought as Muhammad Ali. Liston was the only noteworthy fight as Clay, and he was far from dominant.

Not Mohammed or Magnus win Me win, Me booby Fischer
Chess boxing begins with a round of chess. So if Ali could stall for two minutes of chess - which he obviously could, just taking a long time for every move - then he would smash Carlsen to pieces immediately afterwards. Ali beats Carlsen every time.
After a single round with Ali, Magnus wouldn't have any neurons left lmao.
