    Larry Holmes would dominate today.

    He's so underrated. Nobody respects this man, nobody. Every time I hear or read about the great heavyweights, no one mentions him. It's beyond me.

    Larry's an all time great. I haven't heard anyone disrespecting him. Tyson got Larry at the right time because peak to peak I don't think Tyson stood a chance. We cant mourn about it because that's boxing.

          You're right, but this man had undeniable skills.

            True. No one flat talks shit, but the omission among the greats is disrespect enough.

                Tried to give you green K, but I gotta spread it around. Like an STD.

                  Everytime I see a top 10 heavyweight on NSB he's in the top 5, so I think it's far fetched to say he's hated or disrespected.

                  If anything, he's getting a lot of credit now for what he did.

                    Holmes had name wins, but like Marciano he caught these guys way late in their career.

                    Ali, Norton, Shavers, etc
