    Th Norton fights were tough(Ali's jaw broke in the 1st one)

    Ali wasn't past prime, he was WASHED UP when he fought Spinks both times...and he whooped Spinks ass the second time...

    In terms of resume Floyd isn't in the same discussion as Ali, who fought every HW there was to fight during his time...

      Maybe Holmes was right when he said, Ali was a great champ but extremely overrated.
      Nah Ali is not overrated but he did lose to Norton. Watch the fights and let me know wat you think.

        Holmes was Ali's sparring partner...........

        Ali woulda lit his ass up prime for prime...

            I don't, man.

            You and I both know that Ali loved to jab, but hated being jabbed at.

            Holmes had probably the best jab ever for heavyweights

              I thought Ali legitimately won the second fight with Norton. It was tough but Norton gave up too many of the early rounds. Ali also came back strong in the 12th.

                Ali won the second fight and even Norton admitted that. I don't know why people keep saying "Ali lost all 3"

                    If it was pre draft Ali he wudda outboxed the **** outta Holmes IMO...Ali wudda took the jab away from him...

                      Agreed. I've come to the conclusion that people who say "Ali lost all 3" probably didn't even see one of the fights.
