Larry Holmes vs Klitschko Brothers

[uncle_ray]

holmes would crack wlad and ko early. vitali would be a little harder but holmes takes that one too

larry holmes is one of the most underrated hw of the past 30 or so years

[frankenfrank]

Larry receives a long painful beating from Vladimir and loses a close decision to Vitali.
When did Holmes face a size disadvantage ? vs. Cooney ? did Cooney have Vitali's conditioning or resiliency ? and even Cooney gave Holmes a tough fight .
Holmes was **** , acknowledge it . He needed to thumb a worn little Earnie Shavers who needed to eat ice cream during training camps to be able to weigh in as a HW in the fight Holmes stopped him. Holmes was outpointed by a fragile chinned technically flawed brittle LHW in Michael Spinks , and was exposed by an old Ken Norton who actually deserved to win against him.
Stop overrating Larry Homes.

It's so funny when Klitschko haters' only chance of seeing the bros loose is in some fantasy match-up that they dreamed up. LOL

Either Klitschko destroys Holmes like they would destroy any past HW great.

Holmes beats both, possibly stops Wlad late.

Would be a great fight tbh.

I pick Holmes over both. Wlad would be a better match up simply because he would know to stay away. Vitali tends to wanna mix it up more and would eat jabs and probably get knocked out. Larry holme, hardest jab in history, whips them both.

The Klitschko jab is just as effective as Larry's but there power behind their punches is light years ahead of Holmes & the fact that they're physically bigger & never been outboxed means Holmes is in for a beatdown by either bro>>>no questions asked, You have to bring the power behind that jab & Holmes had slightly below Holyfield power & more in line with ALI's.

Both bros lose this, imo, as most likely. But both have a chance, which few will admit. I think Larry is actually one of the few heavies in history, along with Ali who would be able to box these guys from the outside and win, size disadvantage not dissuading them. The respectable power, mixed with the hand speed and skill make me think both brothers could succumb to cuts in a stoppage.

Wlad could be stopped by Larry outright, without cuts though. Larry had a tendency to get caught with big rights and Wlad does have one of the biggest, however, a young Holmes was never stopped and got up from an absolutely vicious Shavers right (As hard as they get) and won. Larry to me is the third best heavyweight of all time, H2H with Louis and Ali. There's no prejudice against the Klitschkos from me in this, he's just a diverse, terrific fighter that can hang with anyone ever and at his best will win.

Interesting! I think it'd be closer than alot of people think! I wonder how holms would deal with that powerful jab

The Klitschko bros never seen a jab like Holmes but Larry's foot speed would make either look ponderous.

[Money Shot]

They hit way too hard for Larry, sorry.
