It would be an amazing battle of jabs, though I think Ali's movement could negate Holmes jab better.

I think Ali might put Holmes on the floor as well, Larry gets up of course.

Favorite of my lifetime-- Prince Naseem Hamed

The gyms round my way were brimming when Naz burst onto the scene. My area had a big Muslim community and the kids idolised Naz and flocked in. Even though I was at the other end of the weight spectrum and not a Muslim myself, I loved that time when the gyms were buzzing with loads of little Naz clones trying to emulate him.

[DaveyMac]

Amazing how just the idea of some fighters gets people excited, when others can't no matter what they do. I remember Naz the same way, everyone very excited about him.

Entertaining as fornicate, another boxer who seemed to piss away his talent as he got older.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Of course I'm biased but I think it would be a boring fight with Ali emerging the victor. However, I don't see any knockdowns but you never know with Ali's right that literally came out of nowhere against more than one opponent.

If he got his confidence high and started whipping out those lightening combos I'm sure he could sit most HWs on their ass.
