    I just appreciate watching a technician work

    sure, slugfests are good to watch, but I'd rather see a pure boxer vs a pure swarmer or slugger anyday over two sluggers or two swarmers goin at it or w/e the best slugfest would be

      Holmes was a great fighter indeed. Learned alot from Ali and the years of sparring with him. A prime Holmes would ****ing destroy a prime Tyson

            And the fact he acted like a ass many times out of the ring.

              Yeah, mike was great the night he fought Larry. Larry was only what about 90 years old by then?

                  A prime tyson vs a prime holmes would've been excellent to watch... Holmes had a ridiculous chin and could take a hell of a beating. I always think of the punch Shavers took his head off with. ****ing ridiculous.

                    Just his speed and reflexes?

                    Too bad that's what Holmes' style relied on
