Dumbest post I've ever read. Larry Holmes had the type of pride that would have NEVER under any circumstances EVER let him quit vs anyone.
Look you hero's win vs Wilder was huge. You don't have to make Wilder into something he isn't in an effort to make that win sound bigger than it was.
Holmes make Wilder look foolish for 10 rounds and then finished him.
Holmes beats the both pretty easily.
Edit -
He voted Holmes by KO :lol1:

Holmes very easily.The contrast in skills isn't even remotely close. I suppose Wilder could get lucky and land a big one like Shavers and Snipes did.However,Larry recovered from those and went on to dominate both fights.

2nd post of the thread sums it up well and is correct about Washington too. Washington won the rounds he jabbed, stopped jabbing...ka-boom!
I legit think Wilders intimidation and KO % had many opponents beat before the bell rang, similar to Iron Mike Tyson. Will be interesting to see how an opponent's body language and confidence is in Wilders next fight that isn't Fury, since after being beat up, he doesn't have the aura of invincibility anymore.
Wilders going to have problems with lengthy jabbers ,ones who really can fight will defeat him . The hindsight here is Wilder cannot be favored against Holmes since this thread if anyone was actually being truthful . I even gave him maybe 3 rounds to pull that off and i dont even see that now.
You don't think Wilder can adjust, and land the right hand?
One thing Holmes did was effectively jab to the body often ....wilder gets knocked off balance rather easily by this...still a wonder why no one initiates this tactic and keeps on it ? maybe Washington will read this? lol
Holmes by decision win...wilder may win 3 rnds? but holmes would know what im saying and do it!

Wilders head didn't move that much. That punch had rabbit written all over it.
If you can't see it I'm not going to waste time showing it to you.
:lol1:
It wasn't intentionally thrown to the back of his head. It's that simple.
In my sig?
Wrong. If the opponent moves their head and you strike the back fo the head, if is not a rabbit punch/ the fault of the fighter who threw the punch.

That is a textbook rabbit punch.

I try and stay away from the OP on here I’m sure it was some attempt to build Fury up by bigging up Wilder but these threads really are just laughable with these guys. I could see Fury getting by Ali but saying Wilder gets by Holmes now when the man doesn’t even know how to react to a jab really shows who the head cases on here is who voted Wilder .
It's just a fair question between two ATGs from different eras. No agendas here.
The only guy human in history to probably also get up from that punch is Fury.
Or Ali, but then again that punch wasn’t even able to put Ali down if you think about it.
What I don't understand , never did and never will, IS HOW IN HELL DID HOLMES get up from that Mack truck punch!

I think what Shavers did to Holmes below would have finished Wilder and all current Heavyweights:
came back and won the fight.
