Holyfield beat a 42 year old Holmes in a competitive fight and actually lost the 12th round and you think he'd beat a 27 year old Muhammed Ali.? You can't fix that opinion with a wrench. Your description of Ali's opponents, which are universally regarded as the best resume in heavyweight history says more about the absurdity of your opinion than I ever could . Keep up the good work for me.
Holyfield would have been the best opponent Ali would have faced in the 60s. It would be his toughest fight.
Holmes & Ali's style weren't the same. In his comeback - Holmes used the ropes a lot, was better at blocking punches, & was better at fighting in the pocket than Ali. Ali would be circling & moving - as this isn't 70s Ali. Holyfield could keep up - as he had good footwork aswell. He'd give Ali a tougher fight than any other of his 60s opponents.
Ali get dropped by 190 lbs cooper and he would beat holyfield hahahahahahha and he used smell belts should be banned from boxing for that
Ali was naturally bigger, considerably faster and had much better stamina .. Ali outpoints him and pulls away over fifteen ..
Mickey Duff summed Tyson up to a tee. I remember him saying, "He's a bully but he's a good one". When Holyfield hadn't taken a backward step in four rounds, Mike fell apart upstairs. In the rematch, he was almost hysterical with fear' Don't understand your other comment .
He didn’t have fear he was just frustrated by lowblows knees and headbutts he did justice on holyfield in rematch
