This ain't the same *Unbeatable 60s Ali* that got a gift decision against the Mediocre Doug Jones, or the same Ali that almost got KO by Cruiserweight Henry Cooper, and had to have smelling salts which wern't allowed in UK, plus have his glove split to help him survive.

Plenty could of have beaten him.

Prime Riddick Bowe
Prime Larry Holmes
Prime Lennox Lewis
Prime Joe Louis

Etc.
Oh do please,I like Holmes,but the very best Holmes there ever was couldnt knock him out even though he allready had Parkinsons
And before you say something foolish about reach or size,Ali was 6'2 and had good reach even by todays standards
Because Holmes carried Ali i thought you already knew this ?? Holmes could of stopped Ali at anytime.

And before you say something foolish about reach or size,Ali was 6'2 and had good reach even by todays standards

I wasn't even going to say that .........
I thought you knew this,for the last 3 rounds Holmes desperatly wanted Alit to either go down,or the ref to stop it
I thought you knew Ali gave Holmes a shiner when Holmes was Ali's sparring partner,thats why an Ali who was allready twiching from Parkinson was arrogant enough to come out of retirement.
He figured if the guy he taught everything he knew,who he could beat at will was heavyweight champ,well maybe one more time
Of course Holmes didnt want to hit Ali anymore,there is no Holmes without Ali
And we arent talking about the twitching from Parkinsons fat Ali are we?
We're talking Ali at the height of his game,he'd have annihilated Holmes,hell the 70's version did it at least once a week at sparring
What on earth do you think that Ali would have done?

Uhh Holmes was pulling his punches on Ali and was pleading with the ref to stop the fight Holmes could of ended it at anytime.

When Holmes was a mere novice and Ali was in his peak he gave Holmes a shiner, when Holmes grew as a fighter i think your find he used to get the better of Ali in sparring like when they sparred in Rumble In The Jungle.

He figured if the guy he taught everything he knew,who he could beat at will was heavyweight champ,well maybe one more time

Well he was wrong wasn't he ?? because Holmes matured as a fighter.

Of course Holmes didnt want to hit Ali anymore,there is no Holmes without Ali

Ridiculous statement and totally disrespectful, Holmes didn't want to hurt Ali because Ali and Holmes were friends.

Now your making up lies, he used to get the better of Holmes when Holmes was a mere novice actually. When Holmes grew as a fighter he got the better of Ali in sparring. But really and truthfully who cares about sparring ?? because if we are going by that logic then Greg Page would beat Mike Tyson because he floored him in sparring.
