Had Carl won the 12th round he could have been given the decision, but as you said already, Larry was the one to dig down and rightfully earn the decision. I will say Williams deserved a rematch though as he did fight a great fight.

    I also believe Holmes won the second Spinks fights.
    Tell me youre joking right away!

      True and I agree. Apart from the stuff about the 12. round bro. I think you're talking about round 15 .

        Agree.

        Holmes heart can never be questioned, he always dug down deep and he had that Championship heart. He sealed the deal against Williams by showing how much he wanted to keep that title in the late rounds.

                  This topic is about "Who had the best jab" NOT who won Holmes v Williams fight, no-one is calling Holmes heart into question, what i was saying in my previous post was Holmes came up short with his jab when he fought 3 guys (Williams, Smith, Spinks) who all beat him to the jab, Williams closed Holmes eye with his jab, its not a case of Holmes was on the slide, its a case of Who had the best Jab.. The Topic poll has Muhammad Ali in it yet if it said Cassius Clay and not Muhammad Ali then there could only be one winner IMO...a seperate thread on Holmes vs Williams would be interesting

                    Yes Pink had a `pole-of-a-jab`, a unification bout in the early 80s with Holmes would have been a great fight
