Larry Holmes

[The Surgeon]

Ok Larry Holmes the Eastern Assasin was 1st class, a legend.
1 of the most Under rated HW champs ever yeah? All agreed?
So u rate him then?

Well if everyone is agreed (and ive never yet heard anyone disagree) and rates him How the **** is he under rated then!!?

[Silencers]

He is a top 10 heavyweight IMO, I'm not sure if he's underrated.

[TheGreatA]

He is not underrated here from what I've seen but on some other forums you'll see just how underrated he can still be. Some wouldn't put him near the top 10 HW's.

I would say that while Holmes gets the respect he deserves today, he was very underrated when he reigned as the champion.

[ßringer]

He's not underrated. He just never got his respect during his time at the top, which is common for fighter's of his caliber.

It's pretty much universal that he's a top 5 all time great in terms of Heavyweights.

2.) Muhammad Ali
3.) Larry Holmes
