      I started naming some of my favorite boxers and started explaining my reasoning for them being my favorite and I mentioned Ali..I then said I always liked seeing fast fighters use both their quick feet and their quick hands to make opponents look foolish...I ended up asking him did he ever box with that style (on his toes, sticking and moving, etc.) he said yeah, back in the amateurs he did that in a couple of his fights, then I asked him were you as fast as Ali when you did it? He said, Nah, I was more kind of like Larry Holmes..

        That round I mentioned before was from the amateurs. I have it here on my computer; I just watched it. I'd say he looked a lot quicker and more athletic than Holmes but at his size he'd never succeed trying that crap against top opposition.

            This might be the funniest thing I've ever read on BS.
