      I don't recall Holmes losing to fighters like Ross Puritty.

        I don't recall Wlad losing to light heavyweights. I'm not saying Wlad was greater. But the version Joshua fought is better than the Holmes that fought Tyson.

          A HOF light heavyweight far more skilled than Ross Puritty. You have no evidence that the version of Wlad was better.

            Any light Heavyweight you want to name wouldn't have beaten Wlad in his first fight at HW.

                That's your opinion. It's a fact that Spinks was better than Sanders, Brewster, and Puritty.

                  wlad had been knocked out in his prime a couple times by decent fighters. he was old and gave joshua hell. the tyson that fought holmes would have creamed Wlad. neither's resume was great.

                    Any way you cut it, Tyson's destruction of Holmes was a good win - and probably better than Joshua's win over Wlad considering the following
                    • Holmes is higher regarded than Wlad
                    • NOBODY had ever man-handled Holmes in the fashion Tyson did
                    • Holmes had a good run post Tyson
                    • Wlad had been KO'ed before
                    • Joshua Wlad was a competitive fight - Tyson Holmes was NOT
                    have u seen the holmes that fought tyson? he was so out of it, not even 30% of what he used to be. just because holmes had a good run after doesn't change the fact that holmes was ill prepared and complete **** against tyson.
