Larry Holmes - Where do you rank him in the Alltime list?

[Parody]

I have him at #3 behind Ali and Louis.

He was a very underrated fighter and he only lost when he was out of his prime, and even those losses were close fights except the tyson one.

World Heavyweight Champion for 8 Years and defended his title 18 times, second to only Louis.

Beat Norton, Shavers, Undefeated Ray Mercer, Undefeated Gerry Cooney, Ali (Although out of prime).

top 10 contenders in berbick, spinks, witherspoon and frazier.

I believe he beat Spinks and he was robbed, even against Nielson in Denmark he was robbed while being out of his prime. McCall loss was very close, Only Holyfield beat him while he was way out of his prime and Holy won 8 Rounds.

For heavyweights? I'd say in my favorites list he's a 6.As for performance he's 4.

Never understood, why Holmes isn't respected as much for his career. I thought he was a great fighter, who fought solid competition.

He's in the shadow of Ali and his ****iness when talking wasnt liked. Its the wrong kind of ****iness I guess.

[Darkstar]

I dont think it helped he was in between the two biggest fighters ever. Ali-- Homles-- Tyson. I always thought hes top 8 all time HW.

people dont like holmes because of what he did to Ali ... he beat the dog **** out of Ali when he could have taken it easy on him...


in my opinion , when your in a fight, you fight ...so , who knows ....

[Silencers]

I have him top 5 in All-Time Heavyweights. He just came along at the wrong time, right after Ali and just before Tyson. He kinda got lost in there. It's a shame that he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves.
