    Time and again? The debate went back and forth in one thread until a certain thickhead thought he was bigger than the thread and started another.

    Had great excuses for performances? WTF? Speak english.

    How could they? Wyhere has anyone ever said any of them had a better resume than Holmes?

    You're like the kid in the playground who's spit the chewie out and is off for home with the bat and ball at a great rate of knots :lol:

    I would assume Holmes was the best but we may never really know. Overall and in a historic sense he is but these are men that were in the top 5 or Co-Champs in his era that he somehow managed to avoid fighting or rematching.....I think Holmes is probably the number one Heavyweight Champion in the category of avoidance and navigation....pretty compelling

    So you simply refuse to answer which is in reality an answer. Point made.

    Come on Bummy. We've heard how you've lived through the era. No hedging. Be definitive.

    You're just making a plonker of yourself now. This might be the dumbest serious thread i've ever seen in here. All this stuff is getting to your brain. Maybe some time out is needed ;)

    JT, I'm not your kid so save the time out crap. You have spent weeks dissing Holmes and I'm calling you out and you are doing all but answering the question. I'm being polite and you're getting personal because we both know you rate Holmes way above any of the men you say he ducked. You single this fighter out as if he were the only champion to act in his own best interest when he finally could and I say you have been splitting hairs for the sake of it. If you want to keep making stupid personal attacks it means nothing to me except proof you have no legs to stand on, less integrity and belong hanging with the lower subculture of regulars here. Simple as that. That aside you're of no consequence.

    If you can't stand the heat in Larry's kitchen get out and let his wife do the cooking. You have to start an agenda laden thread of zero relevance because you can't cop Larry's actions and own words coming under scrutiny. As a matter of fact you can't cop any criticism of him at all. It really is this simple.

    I consistently rate Holmes top 5 in both ATG and head to head. If i am honest and unbiased per his negatives and don't gloss them over, well tuff biccies.

    You can dish it out but can't take it back :good

    Guys, can I just say one thing? If we all put our collective focus on John's avatar's arse, this discussion could be vastly more productive. For me.
