    Again that is just your opinion and you are entitled to it. Nothing you say will expunge that loss off of Holmes' record or take away from Spinks.

    IMO Spinks edged both fights.

    Well, it wouldn't be as bad to say Wlad wouldn't have been a champion in his era, but he really underrated him by saying Wlad couldn't beat Wilder and Stievrn.
    So was he suggesting Wilder and Stievrn is champion quality in his era? Very strange.

    So when Tyson was winning, he was at his peak, but when he lost, he was not in his prime, you know how thats look ? Looks like f*** excuse.
    And dude in every sport shots are the same. Forehand is still a forehand, backhand is still a backhand and so on, you get the point.
    And Klitschko have champion heart, otherwise he would never come back from 2 loses almost in a row, where all was saying he was done and blq, blq, blq, he took the things in his hands, change most of his team, and improve so much and shows what big champion he is.
    I also cant agree that this is weak era, but i dont want to waste time on stupid arguments, that wont lead us to anything. We can debate with ours by saying the era is weak, and i will saying its strong, and blq, blq, blq, no need of that, everyone have his opinion and im ok with it, even if i not agree with it.

    Don't people do the same thing with Wlad? Back when he lost those fights he wasn't prime but later when he is winning, he is prime?

    why don't you try to spend years in prison and see if that's an excuse for losing your physical abilities, your mental strength and being rayped in the showers, or anything else that I hear happens in those places.

    Who has Holmes beaten who's great? Who has Marciano beaten who was great? Who has Patterson beaten who was great? Who has Frazier beaten who was great? Who has Tyson beaten who was great?

    You see Wlad is in great company.

    :patsch

    Williamson implemented a second rate Holmes gameplan. He just circled around Wlad with slower feet and less movement than Holmes had.

    Larry is a stylistic nightmare for Wlad. Angles and movement is paper to a straight 1-2 hitter's rock.

    I think Holmes would have included Bryant Jennings too if a Klitschko-Jennings fight didn't seem imminent.

    He must be kind of miffed to have his record passed by Klitschko.

    Next Klitschko needs to defend his title against a 3-3 fighter and fight Andre Ward twice ( a substitute Billy Conn ) so he can parallel the stellar career of Joe Louis.

    He fought tune ups instead. What more proof is possibly needed.:patsch

    He also sued the IBF to get out of the Willaimson rematch he promised him in the ring.

    You're seriously telling me that beating Norton is what makes Holmes' record special? Who the fck was Norton? Norton wouldn't last 2 rounds with Lewis, Bowe, Vitali or Wlad.

    Norton is an ATG.He beat Ali, the greatest heavyweight of all time.

    Norton knocks Wlad out in my opinion.Ken was a hard puncher.

    Norton had a superb jab and a lethal left hook. K nuthuggers don't realize these things.
