    Al Bundy's Punching Power > Wlad > Holmes

    Did Holmes score 4 TDs in one game?

    Al Bundy= American Hero

    Cobb's style would never last 12 rounds against Wlad.

    Vlad would stop Cobb, he punches much harder than Holmes could ever dream of!!!!!!!

    Wlad ain't no pillowhanded boxer...he catches Cobb with something big early to mid rounds and knocks him the **** out.
    No matter how defensive minded today's Wlad is, Tex ain't going further then 7 with that style.
    A pre-2004 Wlad KO's Cobb under 4 rounds.

    How does Cobbs chin rank? Either Holmes has no power. Or Cobbs has one of the greatest chins walking the planet. He was hit by every punch throw in that video. Not one power punch missed over 15 rounds.

    That is true but you can definately see how Cobb's punch speed deteriorated through that fight. And wtf is that picture in your profile lol!

    Holmes was a great fighter but he was hitting a human heavy bag in that fight, hard not to look amazing.
    A sad reminder of how shitty the division was a that time is that Tex Cobb was fighting for the HW championship of the world.

    Larry was feather fisted actually. Maybe not completely but he couldn't drop Norton nor Shavers and they both have bad chins.

    Would be fun to see how many rounds Tex would last, but that's about it.

    Wlad hits a lot harder than Holmes & I doubt Tex would've survived the distance.

    No, actually it's a sad reminder of how Tex Cobb got a title shot because Larry's era was so devoid of talent outside of himself. The fact that Larry couldn't KO Cobb says a lot about Larry's power or lack thereof
