    Ali too big good and fast for Louis. Louis has a punchers chance but not the way I’m betting.
    Holmes though was big good and fast also. Plus also Ali probably missed his prime. The younger Ali was faster but lighter and less experienced. The Ali after the 3 years he was striped was bigger and stronger and more wiley but slower. I think thats the problem. Prime Holmes can match even the best version of older Ali. The younger version never met someone nearly as good as Holmes. He could pull a Mike Spinks like victory where he out speeds Larry in and out.
    Best older Ali is a pick ‘em. Younger Ali at his best is a slight favorite.
