Larry Holmes Vs Vitaly Klitschko (better era)?

I think this is the worst post of today and i have been on the pound and ESB.


Cong**** bro.

actually its still ahead of your last post. calling lewis 38 and fighting byrd when he was 37 and to fight kirk johnson. I also love how you make lewis out like he was a shot fighter when he had just demolished tyson and looked impressive in his prior outing. vit would have given any version of lewis fits and possibly knocked him out if he wasnt opened up again by a freak grazing punch

it was 7lbs. its not a huge amount, but Lewis had shown in the past that he fought better when he kept his weight down. I think more than anything it was his age and year long layoff.

If anything, Vitali looks to have trained harder. he was fighting an undefeated unknown, who had a good reputation as a puncher. Lewis was scheduled to fight someone he knew he would have an easy time against.
a man whos already on the top fighting someone who doesnt pose much of a threat is not going to train as hard as someone searching for a title, imo.

sorry but boswell was not a well respected prospect. he was seen as an undefeated fighter who had beaten absolute nobodies and most didnt even know who the hell he was while kirk j had a bad outing with ruiz he was still known as a world class boxer and was certainly worlds above boswell
