    Larry Holmes (1978) vs Rid**** Bowe (1992)

    Who would you pick to win in their prime years? I pick Holmes. Bowe had a tendency to get hit a lot and I think Holmes jab would give him trouble.

      Rid**** Bowe? Are you serious? The same Rid**** Bowe who shamelessly ran from Lennox Lewis?

        Larry Holmes is shamefully underrated. He is one of the best ever, Rid**** Bowe is not.

          No way can you dismiss Bowe like that. Peak Bowe was a beast, and as the Norton fight showed, Larry was a little raw in '78. Rid****'s size and power would definitely be a problem. I'd favour Holmes but I wouldn't rule Bowe out.

            Vlad got his ass whipped by Ross Purrity

            Larry keeps that mummy turning until he ices him with a blazing 1-2.

              Larry Holmes most likely would dominate on the outside with the jab, Bowe if he could get inside would do some damage.

              Holmes by Decision

                Holmes. He was better and more disciplined than Bowe.

                    I'm talking about Wlad from 2006-2012, Wlad keeps him off with a jab stops him with like he did Chris Byrd
