    Ok, my analytical breakdown goes along these lines, my friend;

    I opened the thread and quickly saw that a certain Ali fan made some comment about Holmes having no possible chance to beat Ali in his prime, along with some ridiculous comment about that supposedly being a compliment from him towards Holmes...Huh?

    Then I put that previous post in, which isn't quite in alingment to what I may see happening, although I believe that's an entirely possible and not so suprising (unlike yourself) outcome.
    if your refering to my post, at no point did i say holmes has no chance against ali when i said "no way" it was in reference to both of their careers as a whole and ali's is far superior ain't no denying that!

    in another post i said ali would win 7 times out of 10 hardly an opinion of someone who thinks holmes has no chance against a prime ali

      It would be a somewhat awkward fight but Ali would win a UD taking 9 of the 15 rounds.

      That's pretty much how I would see it happening and why.

          Anyone who sniffs at a prime Larry Holmes and/or is a delusional Ali fan , deserves to be put in their place. lol. Ali was a great fighter but he was given trouble on a few ocassions and to say he'd beat Holmes like he was nothing, is silly.

            Alright, I see it now...and I see that the absence of a comma or a period in your first sentence (after "no way") confused me a bunch.

                  Hey, it worked for Stinger, who now speaks & write fluent English, and does so even better than he does with his native tongue...Pukatoowogginese or something like that.
