holmes always says how he was the greatest heavyweight heavyweight to ever lace em up--well he did beat Ali ....
however
ali was 39
ali was retired for 2 yrs
ali was on prescription drugs
ali was in the first stages of parkinsons

i belive a prime ali (there wasnt 1--but lets just assume around ali-folley) would toy around with holmes--just as he toyed around with many other great fighters and win by UD--3 of 3 ali would win.

so holmes your an all-time great--one of the greatest to ever lace em up---just not the greatest. cuz frazier would have beat holmes--and aprime tyson would have beat holmes-
