Yeah but how does that logic prove that Larry COULDN'T outbox Ali? Who did Ken Norton beat before beating Ali? No one really, he was known more for being a former sparring partner of Joe Frazier's. I'll never understand why people look at factors that have absolutely nothing to do with the fight when picking a fight. Look at prime Ali, look at prime Holmes, and say who you'd think would win based on their styles and abilities. Thats all that matters.

In a fight that would undoubtedly be a chess match that would go to the decision, I would take Holmes by a close decision. I think he would outjab ali.
