had ali had those years before he was banned from boxing.....

would he stay on top?

[shawn_]

Without a doubt. Its really a shame because Ali was just coming into his prime.

He was a great fighter no doubt and yes, i belive he'd stay on top. There probably never would have been a Joe Frazier or Kenny Norten. You factor in all the **** he had to do on the side just to get money when he couldn't box. The wrestling ****, then when he literally fought that wrestler, Dundde has said that he took something out of Ali when he hit Ali in the legs so many times.

[AntonTheMeh]

i always wondered what his record would look like.

[ferocity]

He still did a lot of exibitions when he couldn't get a pro liscense. I don't know if many or any were recorded. Im sure for a fact, that Holmes sparring with Ali also helped Holmes be the fighter he was.
