70 Ali vs focused Tim Witherspoon (Holmes)

Unless he overlooks Witherspoon like he did Norton, Ali takes this imo.

 

Alì but competitive

 

Which 70s Ali?

If it's 70-75 or 76-79 that could be the difference between in a win and a loss perhaps.

 

Ali wins, but Witherspoon gives him some issues.

 

Early '70s Ali wins this fairly comfortably.

 

Ali wins a decision but Witherspoon makes him work for his money.

 

He does as about as well as Norton not much between them really. Credit to Ali, Holmes said Norton hit “about as hard” as Mike Tyson and he got quite the pummelling in those bouts… though he could just be being a sour puss BUT he was getting hit by KN not me.

This would be very interesting. I see a hard fought and eminently watchable first half with Ali losing a few rounds. Around the 9th things slow down and Ali might even stagger Tim.

UD early 70s Ali.

Late 70s, from Manila on I see Ali losing in very obvious fashion, but winning the rematch by a hugging, neck-pushing, boring SD.
