Better victory : Norton over Ali or Spinks (M) over Holmes

Marciano's brother Peter was egging Holmes on and continually spoke about his desire for Holmes to lose and not break his brother's record. So, in fairness, I think Larry had a right to be angry and upset. I'm not excusing Larry's callous remark, but I do sort of understand Holmes being upset and saying things in the heat of the moment.

 

Although Ali was younger then Holmes, Holmes was always Focused on going home as early as possible, Ali on the other hand Loafed about with opponents, and was coming to the end of a Global Roadshow which really was like Working Holidays for the Camp/Hangers on, Ali had grown mentally Bored and Jaded and also apprently was spending time on the Golf course when he should of been in the Gym, Apprently Ali had also twisted ankle on the golf course, and when you factor in the painful bursitus of the knuckles which was prone to Flare up
Ali was probably Ripe for an Ambush by a fit determined and Skilled/akward - and Disrespectful opponent.
