If he was given the decisions against spinks then people would still be debating about how controvershal they were. If he retired after that then I would have him lower as he didn't face great competition in the early 80's. His longevity through the 90's though have given him a higher spot on my list.
Yes he is better than all the **** we have today heading the division. Holmes v Norton was a very exciting fight, not the best ever but exciting none the less. Shows how even a past his prime Norton gave Holmes lots of trouble.

What if he was given the decisions against spinks and retired at 50-0. There is no doubt he won the 2nd fight against spinks, the first one is debatable.
Larry Holmes vs ken norton may have been the best heavyweight fight ever, i loved all 15 rounds. Its what i call prizefighting, not crap that you see today with oleg, shannon and others like rahman and peter.Leave a comment:

Larry Holmes is easily a TOP 5 Alltime Heavyweight...any one disagrees is a blind SOB..Just my opinion. And he did beat Spinks twice in my opinion.
I've got him at #3 behind Ali and LouisLeave a comment:

larry holmes, the greatest
This is a good read that k-dogg hooked me up with. We should rank fighters based on thier skill and quality, larry is better than joe louis in my opinion. I think he is number two, behind his very own teacher though.
