Holmes, although a great and skilled champion, is nowhere near where you rank him but I will agree with your latter statement ( with the possible exception of sugar ray robinson.
Ali dances around Holmes, pops him with straight hands, but both have almost the same style except Ali moves better and has better agility. Ali UD.
I didn't expect such a landslide poll victory for Ali. I must say, I'm surprised. I'm picking Holmes, who would be smart enough not to follow Ali around the ring like a puppet. He'd make Ali lead and then counter.
in fact this one is quit easy to predict. holmes was a lot like ali in almost everything. only also in almost everything not just as good as ali. for example holmes was a great ring general but ali was an excellent one. and so on and so on. so it would be a kind of the copie vs the original.
