who else? tyson? buster douglass used a simple sick-and-move and shocked tyson, and douglass is not half as fast, nor does he have half the punching power or chin that ali has, and even though that wasn't tyson at his best, that would logically mean that even if he was, someone like ali who is way better than douglass would beat tyson. who else? holmes? ali was strung out on drugs when they fought plus he had parkinsons and was old, and holmes was prime, so that doesn't mean anything. holmes was beat by spinks a glass chin lighthw, so no way larry could beat ali. who else? after those i just mentioned there is realy none worth mentioning after. ali has fought a better combination of harder hitting opponents than any body else. he is the fastest hw the world has ever seen prior and since. even when he is flatfooted he he still has amazing speed, alot of his fights show him standing still and just moving his head out of the way of rapid-fire combinations, something no other hw has done yet. nobody compares in speed to ali, so ali knocks out or stops any stick-and-mover with ease, embarrases and stops any slugger with ease, and usually catches most swarmers and knocks them out. at his absolute prime (1966-1967), there is no one style that ali would have that much trouble with. norton didn't fight ali at his fastest, so you can't use ken norton as a crutch for that argument.
