Prime Larry Holmes Cleans Today's HW Division

People overrate the past and underrate the present in all subjective sports like boxing or basketball. Holmes could be a champion in this era but he could also be beaten like any other heavyweight. Yep. Another "the grass was greener..." crap :confused:

Has Fury fans ever seen HWs from other eras ?!?!?!? WTF John Ruiz would school him.

you got spinks beating Fury? the fury that fought Cunningham, yes. The current version, no.

The main reason i think Holmes and Ali wouldn't succeed in the post lennox era, especially with Fury around, is due to their styles, they were outboxers and like to stay out of range and use their longer reaches, good luck doing that to someone who can hit you from the other side of the ring. We cant just compare him to Usyk who fights in a completely different style and say since usyk done so will holmes. They'd succumb to the 1 2 hold like many other men their size.

No shit. On his good days he was one of the best h2h HWs ever imo. I think Fury and Usyk would be the only serious challenges for him.

that "guy moving up" you're referring to is Michael Spinks, who without a doubt fuks AJ's world all the way up as well. And Holmes won that 2nd fight. First one is debatable. you got spinks beating Fury?

I could see that, guy could box his ass off in his prime, but he himself was beat by a guy moving up twice so that has to be looked at as well that "guy moving up" you're referring to is Michael Spinks, who without a doubt fuks AJ's world all the way up as well.
