    I love Larry Holmes and think he is a very underrated fighter but he has suffered what so many before him suffered. He just never had great competition to define him as a great fighter. He fought Ali and Shavers way past their prime. Cooney wasn't considered a great fighter and still isn't but I agree I respect Holmes as a fighter I just think the lack of talent he fought will hurt his legacy in the long run.

      The way Holmes beat comprehensively Mercer is a major + to him and his legacy in my eyes.

        How can anyone rank Tyson ahead of Holyfield when Holyfield kicked his ass TWICE? Please dont give me the lame, excuse that Tyson was old by then, because Holyfield was 4 years older than Tyson and had been in more wars as well. Point is, Holyfield beats him everytime they fight.

              Umm that's no excuse my friend...that's the truth.
              There's no chance in hell They could have beaten Mike in his prime ( before sex and drugs) before his fight with Buster i.e.

                Bull****, Holyfield mops the floor with Tyson every time out, prime or not. Holyfield is 10x the fighter Tyson ever was. tyson never beat anyone and when he fought any type of competition he LOST and LOST BAD. Get over Tyson he was way overrated.

                    Tyson's abilities when he was with Cus was better than any of the current heavies could handle. Niether could prime Holy or Lewis.
