Larry Holmes would dominate today.

[richardt]

His ramrod, piston rapid fire jab was an amazing thing to watch. The best jab ever. Hell, at 40, his jab was better than most prime heavyweights.

[-Kev-]

I don't think he would dominate. Wlad beats him.

[JJRod]

Holmes like the Klitschko's suffered from a lack of competition.
He like the Klitschkos's cleaned out his division, beat everyone top contender they had, and was given no love by the fans.

It wasn't until his retirement that people accepted him as great. The same will happen to Vitali and Wladimir.

[New England]

which books / lists have you been reading?


larry holmes is one of the very best HW of all time.

[betmen]

His era was just as **** as the era we have now man

No, i agree the early 80s is second worst era after rightnow but it still got ken norton,, leon spinks, earnie shavers, gerrie cooney

[New England]

I don't think he would dominate. Wlad beats him.

wladimir klitschko has a bad chin. holmes would land punches. wladimir isn't just going to outclass him with the boxing and hold on the inside the way he does with his regular opponents. he's going to get hit. he doesn't get hit when he fights these bums.


holmes would knock any version of klitschko out.

[Elroy1]

He was clearly better than anything that came before.

Like a Muhammad Ali but with real skills.

His jab was great but it was superceded by Lennox's and Wladimir's jabs.

Larry fought a very decent level of competition. About the same level as Mike Tyson did.

Did that just happen? ^^^

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.

Lets see Micheal Spinks beat him twice but he would beat Klitschko yea sure

No he wouldn't.


Because he's not that great like some historian type dudes make him out to be.
