Better resume Holmes or Wladimir

[dan_cov]

Holmes fought the bigger names but a lot was green or at the tail end of their careers/semi retired, Wladimir fought the lesser guys/names overall but they was mainly prime IMO

This isn't a Holmes bashing thread or ''Wlad is the GOAT'' or vice versa just wondered who you reckon seeing they've made a similar amount of title defenses, ruled for a around a decade etc

If I've missed any, let me know, I'll edit.

Could you also say who you voted and maybe a reason why...

I would go with Holmes if he had beaten those HOF/ATG before they were shot. Also if he had less defeats.

It's close, but I go with Wlad.

No competition... Holmes.

Norton wasn't shot a arguably fought his greatest fight against Holmes.

Its pretty close but Norton and Witherspoon help Larry edge it.

wooooooooooow

holmes resume is light years away & I'm willing to debate anyone who disagrees (I'm no wlad hater ether)

if you guys posed this question to a historical Boxing expert you'll get laughed at. (not even joking)

**** the haters the resumes are actually pretty close as it stands holmes still edges it but add wins over say, price + fury (at least one of which will probably go on to be some form of world champ) to wlad's list and he will pass him

Its pretty close but Norton and Witherspoon help Larry edge it.

I am also taking into account Holmes lost 6 times, regardless he was older fighter when he retired.
