This is what the greatest looks like when he's firing on all cylinders. Notice the triple feint he uses to back him into a corner followed by a 10+ punch flurry. When someone can keep their hands at their side for an entire fight over the course of many fights and still make people afraid to hit them only using the fear of their speed, you can't compare them to anyone.
Lennox Lewis or a Prime Wlad Klitschko would have killed him
You are kidding right ??
Ali had problems with boxers with a good jab, Look what larry Holmes done to him. Lennox & Wlad are much bigger and more skilled that Holmes or any other boxer he faced. They would bust Ali up and stop him. I don't see anything about this guy that makes him the greatest of all time. He was just a man with good boxing skills and a loud mouth, He sold himself...An to all you Ali fans from the past and now. YOU GUYS BOUGHT IT>
Wow.
When Ali fought Holmes, he was ten times more of a shot fighter than Holyfield is now. He was only a couple years away from showing the first signs of Parkinson's Disease.

Prime Ali would have run circles around Larry Holmes. And you know what? If you asked Larry Holmes if he could've beaten a prime Ali, he'd probably admit that he couldn't.

If you think Lennox or Wlad could've beaten prime Ali, you're out of your mind, no offense.
I totally disagree with this Ali would not run rings round Holmes and only reason Holmes says he would have no chance is because he is just being respectful just like Tyson said he would never stand a chance a prime Holmes.
Do you any specific reason why you believe this?

Because Ali in his prime was light years faster than Holmes....
And Ali was way faster than Doug Jones still struggled with him he was way faster than Cooper dropped and almost stopped by him he was well faster than Norton yet Nortons jab was giving Ali hell and Holmes is about twice as fast as all of the opponents i just mentioned.
