    Thanks for the reminder...
    Tell the truth, were you cuckold because of Holmes?

He also fought more than half these men before or after they held the WBA trinket. Can't blame Holmes they couldn't hold on to their title long enough to ever make a fight with him.
      Some of them is missing on Holmes record though and misses must always factor in when assessing resume.

        Absolutely. Unless the comp you fought was equal to or better than the fighters you missed. I think k this is very arguable in many of the cases for Holmes, but certainly not all.

          Agreed. We are not comparing Holmes to Roy Jones in this regard.

              Spinks was not a better heavyweight than Norton. For Tyson he was off almost 2 years and Mike was at his peak. He was 42 when he fought Holyfield while Evander was 29. Most picked Holy by easy KO but Holmes put up a great effort. Learn your history before trying to troll.

                  - - Nah, U playing with U minder's dictionary has nothing to do with Lar record against fighters holding a title, ie 1-6, 0 KO with the single win the sparest split decision possible by fractional % less than 1%.

                    Repeating this over and over is a sign of mental illness. Especially when it means nothing.

                      - - Bingo!!!!!!!

                      0-6, 0 KO against fighters holding a title won in the ring as close to nothing short of a Participation Medal as could be had. Ya could git thee thy minder to look it up for U.
