    Prime Larry Holmes vs Prime Wladimir Klitschko

    Who do you think wins this fight? Just watched some fights and highlights of Holmes. And he had one of the best jabs of a time along side Lennox Lewis.

    Probably Wladimir.

    Holmes is a the more versatile skilled boxer but I feel like Wlads size and power would most likely be too much

      I've never watched Holmes in a boring fight. Even his 15 round decision wins are entertaining because his jab is just so gorgeous to watch. Whether he beats Klitchko, I don't know, but NO ONE jabs like Holmes and Ali. There was a certain artistry and rhythm to their jabs that doesn't exist in the modern era. Klitchko and Bowe had great jabs, but where they as pretty as Holmes? No.

        Wlad can't box for **** all and I don't think his size advantage works so well against men who can.

        I don't think any track fighter can beat Holmes.

          Holmes had a good chin. WK, not so much. Holmes by ko.

              - -Nobody.

              Prime single belt holder WBC Tubby Lar who used to be slim never fought a standing champ having won his title in the ring. Prime Wlad was a record setting champ.

                If there's one thing Wlad hates, it's unpredictability. Bryant Jennings was about the same size as Holmes, but far less experienced or skilled. Despite the disadvantages, he gave Wlad a tough 12-rounder due to his awkward style and constant movement. And of course we saw what Fury did to him after that. It's easy to imagine a young fleet-footed Holmes circling Wlad, disrupting his rhythm, and snapping his head back with lighting-fast jabs. There aren't really any heavyweights today that are comparable, so it'd be hard for Wlad to find the proper sparring to prepare for him.

                    I'd have to see how they physically matched up to each other. Impossible to know if Wlad's size would be too much, or if Holmes could work behind the jab and outclass Wlad
