Larry Holmes Vs Vitaly Klitschko (better era)?

[pesticid]

Vitali's resume is better than Mike Tyson?

Absolutely!

Williams, Holyfield, Lennox, Douglas, and that big lumbering white guy. Those are all devastating losses.

Same with Tyson's era, and while Holmes's resume might have been better this isn't to say that Home's era was better just like Vitaly's resume is better than Mike Tyson's this doesn't mean that Vitaly's era is better than Mike Tyson's era.

LOL are you serious

Mike was Mike in those fights and not "TYSON"......I know you know the difference between the two, we all do.

larry holmes had 25 title defenses and cleaned out his division..vitali aint no where close to holmes

Although i find you posts biased toward black fighters i agree, boy.

Holmes 77-82 beats Vitali.

At the time 'the Holmes era' was considered very poor. Completely devoid of great fighters. Holmes beat a completely shot and drugged Ali and had another hyped fight with Gerry Cooney. Other than that his titlereign was nothing special apart from the numbers. Make no mistake I still rate Holmes very high but as an era the period was poor.

Todays era seems even poorer, but proper measurement really isn't possible yet.

The issue is that in most cases both guys have beaten just about everyone they were put up against as champs.

They can't help it the other guys in the division weren't that great.


90's was a great time for heavyweights, I think that more and more every day.

Seventies was greater. Back then you KNEW the fighters you watched were great.

[MANGLER]

Holmes era was greater than Vitali's, Holmes had Cooney, Shavers, Norton, Spinks, Berbick, Smith, Witherspoon.

Holmes resume is also greater with Shavers, Norton, Spinks, Cooney, Smith, Berbick, Witherspoon and Mercer

Co-sign homey.

Yeah, it takes two to tango and the guys in the 70's benefitted from being involved in great match ups.

Seems like Vitali doesn't get a chance to test his skill against someone coming to fight and fighting.
