    In their primes. Pre-exile Ali vs 91 Holyfield.

    What say everyone? Can Ali stop Holy?

    Nah, I doubt Ali stops him.

    But he wins a wide UD. Holy would have zero answers for a prime Ali.

    When exactly was Ali's prime?

    The day after the cooper fight until his exile?

    Liston 1 until exile.

    With the Williams fight being his absolute peak.

    Question is kinda ironic, but when was Holy's prime? It's very debatable.

    Either way, Ali was better than Holy and wins.

    Holy's only chance is if he butts Ali and it goes to the scorecards

    Ali should win but Holyfield's harpoon attacks would keep it close. 7-5, 8-4 or such

    Holy gives a good account but I don't see him beating Ali pre or post exile

    Holy would win post-Manila.

    The Rumble version of Ali definitely beats Holy.

    I think holy's being underrated here, I don't think It's comfortable for ali at all, tho he probably pulls it out over 12 or 15

    My thinking is, Ali could hurt Holyfield. And if he manages to do so late in the fight, I most certainly can see him getting Holy outta there via ref stoppage.
