Rewatching that Ali vs. Holmes fight!

[Master]

Why would you want to watch that mismatch only a sadist like bill Paxton would get enjoyment from it.

For the record Holmes tried to knock out Ali.

Any Ali post-suspension gets spanked by Larry Holmes. One of the true greats.

Let's not push it. Ali against foreman could handle Holmes.

That's a weird example to bring up haha.

Larry was too good, only prime Ali could compete against prime Larry.

I am only saying that because Larry was his sparring partner at the time.

I think Larry only went to '74 with Ali, from his amateur days until about a year into his pro career. By the time they fought 6 years later Larry was a champ and battle-proven vet, so it was two different Holmes'. I just don't think Ali had the juice post-suspension to beat a prime Holmes. He couldn't win that jab battle and I don't think he could outfight Larry.

Ali would find a way.

Man vs. Boy

Larry could have ended it 'anytime' that he wanted to.
