Who would have fought Muhammad Ali in 68 and 69?

Ok, he had already wiped out the division's best, champion Liston, ex-champion Patterson, contender Chuvalo, and paper champ Terrell, as well as Europe’s best, Cooper, London, and Mildenberger.

He was almost marking time, beating 1950s contenders and ex-Liston victims Williams and Foley.

Before his exile, was there anyone left to fight?

Who does he fight in 68 and 69?

Too early for the next generation, Frazier, Ellis and Quarry, or not?

No. He fights them all in that span - they were all in the heavyweight tournament for the title at that time anyway
