I really dont think he could do everything that Ali could do. Ali was a much better fighter, in my opinion. I give speed, footwork, power and chin all to Ali's advantage here. Holmes may have had a great jab, but so did Ali and I think his speed would give him a ready counter jab or up or counter right overhand to the "Holmes Hammer" as the fight wore on and Ali became tuned in to Holmes' rhythm and timing. I would look for Ali to bait him, draw him in, and counterpunch the daylights out of him as he circled out. Im not thinkin a KO with this one, Im thinkin more of a one sided UD for Ali after 15 rounds of outboxing and outmoving the Easton Assassin. In a trilogy I can see Holmes maybe taking one out of three...but 2 out of 3 times, prime Ali would whup up on him...
