Holmes and Tyson fought in weak eras. Because of that I would put him behind Ali Louis Liston Johnson and Lewis.
So did, for example, legendaries such as Louis and Johnson. But Holmes as a champion, fought better challengers than they did.

I agree, Holmes was a great champion. But I wouldn't call his era weak, just because he kept winning his title fights.

I'll take Shavers, Witherspoon, Cooney and Micheal Spinks over anyone Johnson fought as champion.

Brother, I not saying you're wrong. I've said Johnson made a career of fighting people who were half his size. on the other hand I believe Johnson could have beat anyone Holmes has fought. So could Liston, Ali, Louis, Johnson, and Lewis. I think Tommy Burns could beat Spinks.Last edited by Ropss; 03-20-2022, 04:38 AM.
