    ali knew that if you repeat something enought times poeple will start to believe you...look at paul williams
    In most cases you'd be right about the repeating ****. In this case, you're not. Ridiculous.

    Muhammad Ali

    Larry Holmes

    Go check the Ring ratings for the years Ali fought them and their ratings. Figure into that, the fact that Foreman is consistently ranked as the top 5 GHOAT, Frazier and Liston top 10, and Patterson top 20 in the Golden Age of heavyweight boxing because there were strong contenders galore.

    That should make you want to retract your statement or just want to be a hater.

        I consider Larry Holmes a top 5 ATG Hw.

        He's one of my favorite fighters. I made a CAB version in FN4 and I always spanked Riz' w/ him.

        Ask him.

        He'll tell you.

          Thanks, I try to sound intelligent when I'm not calling poster ******ed (lol). Good to see you come around without trying to make an empty argument by discrediting Ali. Classy post

            You're kidding, right? Holmes carried Ali out of respect for him and was begging the ref to stop the fight towards the end.
