Larry Holmes: “The Klitschko brothers aren’t carrying the sport."

[White_Knight]

Witherspoon, the Truth & Spinks > Corrie Sanders, Ross Purrity, Lamon Brewster, Chris Byrd & an old, inactive out of shape Lewis.

Williams was beaten by Morrison who drew with Brewster himself. That you mentioned Byrd shows what an idiot you are. Vitali had more than twice the number of rounds in the bag Tyrd did when the fight stopped. And Wladimir beat him easily twice.

If Tyson beat Holmes in 4 rounds, Lewis would probably have beaten him in 2. Look at how much easier Ruddock was for Lewis than Tyson.

Just to put thing in perspective, Gerry Cooney went 13 rounds with Holmes, while 41-year-old George Foreman knocked him out in 2.

I don't know why your post showed up anyway. You are meant to be on my ignore list.

[Cardinal Buck]

This is coming from a boxer who was less popular than the Klitschko's (global perspective, not US).

[Spray_resistant]

The last paragraph of the article was most telling...



That's what it's really all about, the Ivan Dragos are in charge and the Apollo Creeds are hurting.



You say that, but he took more risks than Wlad but is half his size, hopefully Vitali v Haye will be a more exciting bout.

When? Wlad was the aggressor all night, just accept it the Hayemaker is a fictional character that too many gullible ppl were duped into buying.

We have a triangle theorist in the house!

And LMAO @ the Klitschko's surviving an era of 15 round title fights, with highly skilled, in shape Heavyweights.

One bro gassed out against a journeyman and got KTFO. Then years later, punched himself out in a mere 5 rounds, and once more was KTFO.

The other failed to go the distance with a blown up, pillow fisted Middleweight, just because he couldn't deal with a little boo boo on his arm.

Both bros would enjoy fringe contender status in th Holmes era, and wouldn't even be able to get past the likes of Witherspoon, Page, Spinks, Thomas, Williams or Smith.

Highly skilled, in-shape heavyweights like Randall "Tex" Cobb, who Holmes couldn't put away in 15 rounds of trying.



Cobb wouldn't last 5 rounds with Vitali, much less 15.

Nice to see JAB has a new "alt."

[STEELHEAD]

The Klits are good fighters but that is all it takes in this era. Look at the state of the rest of the heavyweights who are vying to take their crown. Fat, out of shape and bereft of any skill that wouldn't even allow them to leave the Amateur ranks had they were living in oher era's. Lewis was overweight, unfit, unmotivated and at the end of his career and he still ripped open the face of someone who in his prime at the time, is still ruling the division 8 years later and is considered the best today. That alone should tell you the skill level of the current crop.



"Butt hurt"

Seems one has lost his national identity and is talking like a Klitlicker.



Spot on.

great post Jedi Vader!

Wlad has been KO'd by WORST fighters than Tex Cobb.

And Tex Cobb > 97% of the fat, talentless slobs & part-time golfers on Vitali's resume.

Vitali's top 5 wins are Tex Cobb caliber boxers.

That's pretty damn sad, bro.

[Pirao]

That is true but this era is the weakest it's been for the best part of a century.

That is just an opinion, which is unsupported by facts BTW.

I'm not entirely sure why you have such a hard on for Haye but didn't he take the title away from the one who the Klits ducked for so long???

Damn, and I was even giving you the benefit of the doubt until I read this gem. Thanks for showing your true colours, hater

Cobb would last with Wlad, you seen that guy? He's really, really, tough.
