Prime Holyfield vs Prime Muhammad Ali

So he had a 42 year old punching bag in front of him and couldn't get rid of him?

 

Could never get rid of him or back him up.

 

Holyfield beat a 42 year old Holmes in a competitive fight and actually lost the 12th round and you think he'd beat a 27 year old Muhammed Ali.? You can't fix that opinion with a wrench. Your description of Ali's opponents, which are universally regarded as the best resume in heavyweight history says more about the absurdity of your opinion than I ever could . Keep up the good work for me.

 

Holyfield would have been the best opponent Ali would have faced in the 60s. It would be his toughest fight.

 

Holmes & Ali's style weren't the same. In his comeback - Holmes used the ropes a lot, was better at blocking punches, & was better at fighting in the pocket than Ali. Ali would be circling & moving - as this isn't 70s Ali. Holyfield could keep up - as he had good footwork aswell. He'd give Ali a tougher fight than any other of his 60s opponents.

 

I'm hoping this person is just pretending to be this dumb.

 

Ali was naturally bigger, considerably faster and had much better stamina .. Ali outpoints him and pulls away over fifteen ..

 

Don't disagree Showstopper but Evander still loses by a street on points.

 

Mickey Duff summed Tyson up to a tee. I remember him saying, "He's a bully but he's a good one". When Holyfield hadn't taken a backward step in four rounds, Mike fell apart upstairs. In the rematch, he was almost hysterical with fear'
Don't understand your other comment .

 

Ali wins on points. Quicker, slips punches better, and has better feet by a mile. Come on now.

 

OK Zo. I now pronounce you man and wife.

 

Speaking of bans, I'm off to hit the hay, ZoDoX, so I'll say cheerio now. It's been, erm, crap.
