Thread: 60's FLABSLAB ali vs holmes

this would b an awsome fight-i c ali winning by sd. holmes was fast-ali was faster, ali would dance around while holmes would chase him. holmes using his famous jab would tag ali alot, but when holmes misses ali would conter with a combo to holmes head. ali would get some good jabs at holmes himself.

This would be a really good fight. Too many people think Ali would take it easy, which just goes to show how underrated Holmes is. For me this is a tossup, obviously Ali had faster hands and was more dynamic, but Holmes' jab was one of a kind.

Close decision going either way imo

Ali kills Holmes in the verbal and charisma departments though lol.

"If you wanna get techno' bout it... Rocky Marciana couldn't carry my jockstrap."

Ali had trouble with guys who could jab and Holmes definently could do that. I think Holmes would beat him it would be close though

Not trying to be nasty here but you have created this thread about 12 times, as for the match up i can't decide at the moment.

Holmes was Ali's sparring partner for the Foreman fight and used to give him fits by all accounts but that was still a past his sell by date Ali although not a shot as a fighter Holmes met 6 or 7 years later.

The Ali that stepped into the Ring with Cleveland Williams beats anyone of anytime IMO
