Who do you rank higher? Wlad Klitschko or Larry Holmes?

[Earl-Hickey]

He avenged both his loses, the Rahman one was certainly more emphatic but after watching both McCall fights I never felt McCall was really the better man so strange circumstance aside I am alright.

Except Lennox does not really deserve to be the only man that stopped the Atomic Bull, I don't know what you would call that victory but even TKO is to strong for me.

Dq for lack of combat

[bojangles1987]

Larry Holmes beat better fighters. Enough said.

[bojangles1987]

Some of you "Wah! You only say these fighters are better because they are American!" whiners seriously need to get a life.

[Salardo]

No just curious,both did fight in watered down eras,both are dominate champions,please lets hear your opinion.

Klitschko won the fights he won, Holmes didnt win all of them. on my scorecard Holmes fights with Norton, Witherspoon and Carl Williams were 2 draws and a 1 point win for Holmes. then Spinks beat him twice. Holmes is an ATG Heavyweight, and so is Wlad. I voted for Wlad in this poll

[Salardo]

Larry Holmes beat better fighters. Enough said.

for real?? which better fighters did he beat?? btw lots of pple say Holmes got gift decisions against Norton, Witherspoon and Carl the Truth Williams

[Mike Tyson77]

Some of you "Wah! You only say these fighters are better because they are American!" whiners seriously need to get a life.

It's true though

Some Examples

RJJ Will brutally **** Benn-Eubank etc threads

RJJ **** on Calzaghe during Prime threads.
Calzaghe is over rated hype job ****ing bum

Prime Hopkins **** on Calzaghe


Stuff like that.

Froch and Lennox get more pass then the rest, but that can be explained.

1-Froch was dominated by Ward. Which makes him ok

2- Lennox Lewis is the American Weapon to counter something they hate even more. The Klithsckos

American Boxing Posters need Lewis because of the tko6 and because in all
h2h match ups he is the only super heavyweight they can use to bash the Klithschos.

Since most Klitschko fans like to use size as an argument, Lewis being the Super HW he is , is the perfect Kbro Foil.



You can tell the extreme bias right away though, when the same posters
bashing the kbros by using 'TKO6' AND 'LEWIS WASN'T EVEN PRIME BRAH'

viciously turn on Lennox in another thread entitled

prime tyson vs prime lewis
then all of a sudden Lewis becomes a glass Jaw Brit who Tyson will brutally murder ....

[Riley Freeman]

Wladamir doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Holmes.

[Kagami Taiga]

lmao. man this site has seriously turned into a **** show. vlads resume is absolutely not better than holmes. absolutely not. chris arreloa better than oliver mccall? smh, what is this ****?

[whitealltrac]

Holmes...

Holmes ranks much higher than the Klitchs.........

This sums it up for him (read below)

Holmes, whose left jab is considered one of the greatest weapons in the history of sports,[1] was the WBC Heavyweight Champion from 1978 to 1983, The Ring Heavyweight Champion from 1980 to 1985, and the IBF Heavyweight Champion from 1983 to 1985. He made twenty successful title defenses, second only to Joe Louis' twenty-five.

Holmes won his first forty-eight professional bouts, almost matching Rocky Marciano's streak of 49 straight wins, including victories over Ken Norton, Muhammad Ali, Gerry Cooney, and Marvis Frazier.[2] He is frequently ranked by many boxing experts as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time.
