this is an excellent post-- i think ali would have beaten the k boys the same way holmes beat cooney---yes they would always be a threat like cooney landed some wicked shots but holmes was too refined, too clever. Ali would stop the k boys on exhaustion. Look how wlad collapsed in exhaustion after being pushed a bit by a chubby brewster a few rounds.
