Tunney beat loads of great fighters. Holmes never beat anyone as good as Harry Greb for one.

--- prime to prime Dempsey always.
And talented technicians like Tunney and M Spinks also. I was more impressed with young Ali's natural talents than his fighting style, but, man, who could ever match his nonstop gibber?
Duane Bobick did when he KOed Holmes, an Ali protege in the Olympic trials...priceless!

I'd put Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marciano on top of that list. Any others?

Hector Camacho had faster hands and faster feet than Ali. As matador, he could turn Ali into a raging bull. He would out jab Holmes straight up.
Hector guzzles victory nectar.
