OP means well, but, yeah, been done to death

 

One of those i listed was actually by him as well!

 

ali dec.


even evan would admit that.

 

I feel Ali punched Frazier harder than Holy hit Foreman and he fought better in general, I wasn`t impressed with Holy at heavy until he put the weight on for the second Bowe fight, I also feel Frazier would have stopped the `91 Holy but he was in much better shape than Ali was vs Frazier which could help him, Ali`s body looked too soft.

 

awarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

No, the punches weren`t snapping that well and he was landing tons of them, I feel Foreman was being knocked off balance, look at the effect Ali`s punches had on Foreman in Zaire, yes the heat beat him but that last right hand that decked him was far harder than any punch that Holy hit Foreman with.

 

Holyfield via 8th round TKO

 

It would be one of the best fights of all time IMO, Holyfield was that good he would have given anyone big problems.

 

Holyfield didn`t punch harder than Frazier at that point of his heavyweight career and never punched as hard as Foreman or Shavers, Ali would have taken the right hand that knocked Holy out in their third fight.

 

Would be a good fight but I think Ali clearly wins. He was the bigger and stronger of two and doesn't just match Evander but exceeds him in all areas. I think Evander would make a good fight of it but Ali would be a step a head the whole time Evander could possibly go the full 15 but at the end I think the decision would be clearly in Ali's favor.
