Just how I see it.
Yes,he should have retired after '75. He was never the same after that, but still pulled it out against a prime Norton in their rubber match....
In 1976,Ali would have won via a fairly comprehensive decision. Holmes would have been stopped had they fought in '75 Muhammad would have...

For Ali's 'controversial' close ones,I have - Doug Jones - Ali by two or three rounds Ken Norton II - Ali by one round Jimmy Young - Draw...
That just about covers it. I've never watched that fight,mercifully.
I tend to agree. Honeyghan,on that night,would have been a handful for any welter in history. Only the VERY best would have beaten him. Pity...
