Mohammed Ali vs Holyfield - who would win?

[GJC]

Remember Kostya, it's all about the median career record of the competition. And oh yeah, KO percentages.

And Weight

The conventional minds will all pick Ali because historically he has a greater personna, but often prognostications in sports and what people think will happen turn out to be very different when the event actually takes place.

This event unfortunately will never take place, but I am a big Holyfield fan who thinks he would give Ali a helluva of fight when he was in his prime, and possibly win. I don't think either one would be knocked out because both had hearts too big and chins too solid to go down. Although Holyfield was certainly no featherfist.

Ali was usually the recipient of favorable scoring, if the outcome was at all in doubt. But I think Holyfield would have been the best, and most versatile fighter Ali ever faced with the exception of Joe Frazier.
