Larry Holmes Is a Good Fighter!

[oldgringo]

Ali
Louis
Holmes
Foreman
Marciano

is my list. I know it sounds funny but Holmes is the only other HW besides Ali that I can see beating every other HW.

** Great, you got 2 out of a dozen fights he could have made that would have given him the respect he is always whining about. It's easy to look great against Frank, Bey or Zanon. Had he had to go up against Ali, Frazier, Norton and Foreman, he wouldn't have been wanting to make a comeback. He's lucky that he was a late bloomer in a weak division that he made weaker by his choice of opponents.

so are you saying he isn't great becuase he "avoided" Page and Coetzee?

yeah, me too, under ali and liston.

What a dumb thread, anyone with a brain knows his good, and he's retired, so this should go in BOXING HISTORY...

PS. Louis>Ali

Ali was not fast at all in the Holmes fight. I never saw a fighter so clearly a shell of himself, except maybe Louis vs. Marciano. Holmes is a great fighter, as evidenced in the Norton and Shavers fights. He is underappreciated because he always had asterisks near his names.
