Manny Steward disagrees, he said that Vitali hasn't got enough time to be an ATG and Wlad needs another 10 or 12 defences to be mentioned with the best heavyweights.Comment

This is the problem when noob's use Boxrec for their arguments. He is counting Holmes' fights as an old man.
Holmes had 20 succesful defenses (15 by stoppage). He had a record 8 straight stoppage defenses.
Marvis Frazier, David Bey and Carl Williams were chosen by KO magazine (a respected boxing magazine at the time) to outwork the aging champion. James "Bonecrusher" Smith had knocked out Frank Bruno before fighting Holmes and then would go on to become WBA champion by knocking out Tim Witherspoon. You're also actually criticizing him for fighting Leon Spinks? The former Heavyweight champion who had beaten Ali? Really?
In all, Holmes successfully defended against 7 future or former champions and 8 undefeated fighters.Comment

Good point Larry, this HW era is pretty typical of HW boxing and though the K-bros are criticized now I think when they are gone they will be praised just like Lennox is now even though ppl were critical of him when he was active.Comment

If you look at every decade, you could make the same argument. Two or 3 good fighters and a bunch of flim flam.Comment

only GREAT era in boxing was the ali era other than that the heavyweight division had a few good fighters here and there and 1 dominate champ...this division has a 2 headed monster which will solidify the klit bros as all time greats,,they work each others corners and are living their dreamsComment
