Is Norton-Holmes fight better than any Ali-Norton Fights?

It's not even a contest TBH Holmes vs Norton is considered one of the greatest fights of all time. None of the Norton vs Ali fights are that memorable although the 2nd fight is a solid fight.

I'd rank them in this order.

1. Holmes vs Norton
2. Norton vs Ali 2
3. Norton vs Ali 3
4. Norton vs Ali 1

 

No contest. Holmes-Norton is a top 5 heavyweight fight of all-time. The best Ali-Norton fight # 2 probably would not even make the 50 heavyweight greatest fights of all-time

 

in this case, still Larry. Norton was difficult for him in terms of style, but they both matured quite late, Norton looked really good in this fight and I don't think he could be much better. At the same time, I believe that he was not prime Holmes yet, although he was very close

 

I liked Ali-Norton 2 more because Ali tried every colourful tactic in the book to scrape a win while being in great shape (although i felt he was maybe overtrained for that one)
Holmes was great but his style is a little bit more jab heavy and effective at least against Norton.

 

I have them in the same order

 

My own order exactly.

 

Easily Holmes-Norton was more exciting. One of the very few Holmes fights one would ever watch twice.

 

Norton Holmes by far

 

Without doubt
