Take him in a bare knuckle fight? Not many could....not when he was in his prime.
Hell the professionals could not lay a glove on him, how could some guy in a bar?

It would depend on how much the guy had had to drink. The more booze he had put away the better the chance he had at beating Ali. All you had to do was ask him and he would give you the old 'I can beat any guy in the room' routine. Yeah, drunks at one time actually said stuff like that.
Ali once said that getting hit by Frasier was like taking a broken baseball bat, one with a big crack in it, and striking it hard against a tree. It set up a vibration that ran through your whole body.
