50+ year old Larry Holmes v.s Stiverne

Does Larry have a chance here? I say yes! Still had all of the mechanics down, great jab, decent enough stamina, still moved fairly well... 40+ year old Ray Austin schooled Stiverne for nearly 10 rounds while barely moving, and just popping a jab out. I think old Holmes could get it done with the jab alone...

 

Stiverne would kick his ass. Holmes at 50 looked ordinary against Butterbean and was starting to look quite geriatric.

Watch Stiverne v.s a shot Ray Austin and get back to me

 

If Austin schooled Stiverne, then The Bean floored Holmes.

 

Go watch Holmes against bean and we'll compare notes..

 

I sense some Deontay Wilder hate involved here somewhere.

 

Nope.. I rewatched Stiverne/Austin yesterday and BWARE looked even worse than I remembered. I really think an old Holmes if training gives him a boxing lesson.

 

larry dominates eaerly with the jab, but on gassing out halfway gets stopped or outworked for a points loss.

pretty much like calzaghe vs Hopkins, stiverne cant win the first 4-5 rounds due to his vastly inferior boxing skills, but can capiltaise on the gassed eldster to catch up and snatch a narrow win.

 

The Holmes who beat Mercer would school Stiverne...50 y/o? too old.

 

Fair ****ysis....

 

What about the version who fought Nielsen and Harris in 97? He was a few months away from being 48 against Harris.

 

Stiverne is better than both of those guys.

 

Yeah no....
