No, I don't agree. He needed a time machine, actually.

No. Holmes was too old and slow. Tyson was very fast back then. Prime Holmes beats Prime Tyson every day of the week though.

Iron Mike would have broke him in two. Larry Holmes, even in his prime, isn't in the same realm as Tyson.

Tyson is like in his own dimension.

Ali was good, Louis was good, Dempsey was good, Tyson can't be put into words.

That bum Buster Douglas was only a fraction of what Holmes was. Tyson gets frustrated and KO'd by Holmes all night long.

Holmes hated it when a guy came at him.

I am off the opinion that the holmes that got beat by tyson boxes prime holyfields ears off considering that an older more shot holmes went the distance with prime holyfield and won several rounds .

=====================

Holmes thinks he walks on water and can't understand why we never saw him do that. Maybe if he'd fought the best contenders of his era instead of LeDoux, Evangelista, Zanon, Rodriguez and Frank, guys nobody would have ever heard of otherwise, we might believe him. He claims Foreman ducked him, blah, blah, blah. Fact is Holmes is a gym rat and never left the game. Even today he trains regular. Shut up Larry and be happy King protected you from the big boys and go count your money.

I'm not saying he would have beat Tyson with a tuneup, but he looked pretty good for an old timer, until he got caught. I think his legs play a big role in that fight.

I think considering Tyson was at his best and Holmes was 38 and had been out for 2 yrs.....to go 4 rounds was an accomplishment in itself!
