Larry Holmes would dominate today.

Good God. Stop with the triangle theory. Styles make fights. Seriously, that **** is ridiculous. George Foreman beat Joe Frazier who beat Ali who beat George Foreman so Foreman is better than himself. Logical fallacies are fun.

Lets see Micheal Spinks beat him twice but he would beat Klitschko yea sure Good God. Stop with the triangle theory. Styles make fights.

He's so underrated. Nobody respects this man, nobody. Every time I hear or read about the great heavyweights, no one mentions him. It's beyond me. No he wouldn't. Because he's not that great like some historian type dudes make him out to be.

He was clearly better than anything that came before. Like a Muhammad Ali but with real skills. Did that just happen? ^^^

He was clearly better than anything that came before. Like a Muhammad Ali but with real skills. His jab was great but it was superceded by Lennox's and Wladimir's jabs. Larry fought a very decent level of competition. About the same level as Mike Tyson did.

I don't think he would dominate. Wlad beats him. wladimir klitschko has a bad chin. holmes would land punches. wladimir isn't just going to outclass him with the boxing and hold on the inside the way he does with his regular opponents. he's going to get hit. he doesn't get hit when he fights these bums. holmes would knock any version of klitschko out.

His era was just as sh1t as the era we have now man No, i agree the early 80s is second worst era after rightnow but it still got ken norton,, leon spinks, earnie shavers, gerrie cooney

which books / lists have you been reading? larry holmes is one of the very best HW of all time.

Holmes like the Klitschko's suffered from a lack of competition. He like the Klitschkos's cleaned out his division, beat everyone top contender they had, and was given no love by the fans. It wasn't until his retirement that people accepted him as great. The same will happen to Vitali and Wladimir.

I don't think he would dominate. Wlad beats him.

His ramrod, piston rapid fire jab was an amazing thing to watch. The best jab ever. Hell, at 40, his jab was better than most prime heavyweights.

Holmes had name wins, but like Marciano he caught these guys way late in their career. Ali, Norton, Shavers, etc

Everytime I see a top 10 heavyweight on NSB he's in the top 5, so I think it's far fetched to say he's hated or disrespected. If anything, he's getting a lot of credit now for what he did.

Yes he had skills..but like Wlad we won't get to see how he would do against legit comp Tried to give you green K, but I gotta spread it around. Like an STD.

You're right, but this man had undeniable skills. Yes he had skills..but like Wlad we won't get to see how he would do against legit comp

Larry's an all time great. I haven't heard anyone disrespecting him. Tyson got Larry at the right time because peak to peak I don't think Tyson stood a chance. We cant mourn about it because that's boxing. True. No one flat talks shit, but the omission among the greats is disrespect enough.
