Would you favour any Heavyweight in the history of boxing to beat Prime Ali?

Your right about frazier.........
Your right about Frazier not being a one-handed fighter. Had one of the biggest hearts and was one of the toughest I've ever seen in the ring. He isn't in the league of Holyfield though. He would have gotten pounded in a great fight against Holyfield. And ALI was mabe a hair faster but with single shots, not combinations. Holyfield was a faster combination puncher but ALI had quicker reflexes. Make sense? Kind of like Manny and Floyd. Manny is faster in combination but not with single shots. Floyd is quicker with single shots, but not in combination. I consider myself to be a Boxing purist man. I know the sport.

Not so fast...........
"He was a hero for the black community but he was way overrated as a fighter".
You're right about this statement besides the way over-rated part. Based on what is ALI over-rated? Mabe from a fan stand point but not as a fighter figure that the world had never seen at the time. He was brave, handsome, fast, and he didn't let the white man punk him. That was unheard of at the time. All of the things I just said help make him what he was, not to mention his stamina, legs, heart, chin, and ability to take pain like no other besides mabe Frazier. We all know the history between them. I myself believe that the greatest fighter I ever seen was Sugar Ray Leonard. Depends on who you ask and how unbiased they are. Right?

Ali was faster with single shots, combinations, and foot speed. I don't even think this is debatable, man.
Please show me where Holyfield ever displayed this type of foot and hand speed.
Show many other boxing purist who claims Holyfield was faster than Ali in any way.
Ali did not fight anything like Mayweather. Ali threw combinations consistently.
