    You have picked this....you have said it a number of times.....What you have avoided is why???? Almost any pick is a valid one, but you should be able to defend, define, describe your reasoning...this is where you have come up short....

    Why would louis rock him....because he would swarm Holmes, even though he was not a swarmer??? Does Holmes have a deficancy to the right hand, where you can find more examples than just Snipes....is it because Holmes is chinny???

    You are entitled to your opinion, but on a forum people want to know why, not just what!

    can you give an example where this happened in either one of their careers to make this a plausible scenerio?

    Because your talkin about Joe Louis, one of the greatest ever, and in my oinion the best right hand in HW history, on top of that I see Holmes wearing down around the 5th or 6th and then hes in real ****..

    It took a prime Tyson 4 rounds to get a faded, poorly trained Holmes out, and louis who is much more methodical is going to do it in 6 or less? to as prime Holmes???

    Your call, I just don't agree with the logic.

    Ohhhh that is prime Holmes....And even then a war never errupted????....How about Louis of the Marciano fight???? I thought we were taking both guys at their best...That might be the equivalant.

    You mean you started a thread on a topic that you are not able to even discuss in a logical and rational way??? What on earth for are you bored...if so, spend the time watching some fights and then come back the next day to discuss them.

    Larr was a pitbull but Joe was deadly. I would pick Louis win the fight sometime before the scheduled distance. A real good matchup.

    My initial gut feeling is Larry. But I have to think on this.
