    atg lhw, and hardly outboxed, more even stevens, and just before retiring.
    flop on both counts.

    the reality that he fought so many fringe nobodies instead is however lost on you.

    You nuthugging idiot. A modern heavy is 25 pounds plus over an LTH. There is no circumstance in which an 6'4" heavy like Holmes should be beaten by and LTW. You are an idiot, and that is all.

    He was clearly beaten in the first fight and the fact that you don't know that shows that you never watched the fights.

    You are a silly nut hugger. That is all.

    As for just retiring, he fought into his late forties. Wlad is still defending now at almost 40. So you are a simpleton.

    You dumb *******. Holmes' best wins of Witherspoon, Shaver, Norton and Mercer were not that good, as every one had been beaten more conviningly by a scrub, and and some fo them, and others, were not clearly wins.

    Holmes sucked and so do you, boy.

    lower half top10

    The man's a legend. 2nd longest defence streak (probably #3 soon), and arguably the best HW jabber in history.

    perhaps you think so (I don't think so), but getting back to the matter in hand - spinks is still an ATG LHW with only one loss ever, and one of the few LHWs to take the HW title. He was exceptional, no matter how to cut it.

    if you are so confident that your argument is correct, then why the need to attempt to further qualify it with "u r an idiot that is all".
    Because you're not confident its correct at all.!


    he'd retired from the hw title yes. you are claiming what? that he was defending the hw title in his 40s? no he wasnt.


    again you feel the need to qualify your argument with that. why you so unconfident in your argument that you require yourself to write that?

    He lost to an LTH. There is no circumstance in which Wlad would do the same.

    Nuthugger.

    you added it a 3rd time. so unconfident.


    all major title holders apart from mercer (a 90s wbo holder isn't a major title holder) and shavers, who having fought many champions - were those champions mediocre too for fighting him?


    It sucks to defend your title 20+ consecutive times in your opinion, yes. note wladdie is still behind holmes in that - so you now appear to be sucking your own.

    Holmes certainly below
    Ali, Louis
    Wlad, and Marciano

    Excellent wins
    A Busy Champion
    But a Legacy in question
    Fractured the division
    Disputed Decisions
    Contenders ducked
    Rematches ducked
    Had too much help from lady luck

    based on sizes? I suspect those circumstances don't apply to his brother then. LHW nobody, lt alone ATG, Byrd tko. so... its not to do with sizes, blatantly.

    What is this Herol Gee
    An attempt at poetry
    Even if sarcastically
    You could do better sadly

    There is a big difference between Byrd and Jinx
    Byrd was a career heavy
    3 fights at Light Heavy
    Spinks was a career Light Heavy
    With 3 fights at Heavy
    He was also speaking of Wlad, not Vitali

    yep, LHW can beat SHW at near top level, thanks for supporting me, so ATG LHW barely beating ATG retiring HW is acceptable.

    and no theres no verse in my post.
