    The future Muhammad Ali of the Rome Olympics versus Evander Holyfield of the Los Angeles Olympics. Amateur Boxing rules. Three rounds.

    I reckon that the young Cassius Clay's speed would see him through. Close one though.

    Cassius would edge Holyfield on a close verdict 3-2.

    I'd pick Holyfield. He was the better Amateur, and he matured almost immediately into a champion calibre pro fighter.

    Ali needed to grow up a bit.
