    How big of a douche you gonna be? Unlike you I have an open mind and like both sports just because your apparently feeble mind can't comprehend that doesn't mean you have to be a ****. Theres lots of people who enjoy and love both sports but I guess your elitest self can't understand that. Grow up, your like a damn middle schooler. Obviously if I didn't like boxing I wouldn't be here as it is BOXINGscene, smart one. But since I am it would be smart to assume I do. But then again I'm not expecting much of someone who likes to carry a grudge against people who like more than one thing.

      he's right though, I look at MMa as the lower form. The "fun for friends to watch" kinda think. Not a sport you follow like boxing. Boxing is an art.

        Whats the reach difference between the two? If LL has a pretty good reach advantage I think he takes it, if its equal or at least close I say Holmes outboxes him in a close UD.

          Well thats fine, we have different opinions but you can express it without coming off as a complete a$$hole. Thats all that matters, but when you start spouting of saying crap like "Go watch cagefighting son, this is where the noble art is appreciated," thats just ******ed. I obviously appreciate boxing a lot seeing as I watch the fights, learn stuff about the boxers and the sport, and take part in training. He just doesn't get you can like both.

            Lennox has a slight reach advantage: 3". Lennox Lewis 84" reach, Larry Holmes 81" reach.

                Holmes by decision for me in a tough fight. I rate a peak Holme's speed and skills and think that he may be a bit too slick and lively for Lennox.

                I fear Sonnybox might actually agree with me on this one!

                    I'd pick Holmes in a close decision. It'd be a boxing match all the way, and Holmes quickness advantage, both hand and foot would do the job for him imo.
