Ali said he wanted George to shoot his bolt while he was still fresh.
Holmes believes he beat a decent iteration of Muhammad Ali. That's odd because his manager, Richie Giachetti, said he was cooked as far back as 1978.
Who wins this banger?

Prime Mike isn't beating Prime Lenox.
They won't let you see your dad. That sucks. My friend's dad was in the ICU in Florida. They let me see him. I will say a prayer for your pops.

Scoring is a funny thing. Ed Schuyler who wrote for AP and covered all three Ali-Norton fights scored the second for Norton and the third for Ali.
Floyd was in Rome for the 1960 Olympics. Ali with his outgoing personality was like the mayor there. When Ali told Floyd what he was going to do...
I missed the fact that Floyd won Gold in 1952.
What am I missing? Patterson (56) Frazier (64) Foreman (68) Spinks (76)
Amazing feat shows the breadth and depth of his resume. Those Gold Medals were twenty years apart.
He has Ali at #2. That makes a kind of sense if you don't have Frazier or Liston in your top ten.
*No Mike.
I've watched it several times, mostly for its historical significance.
