    Voting 9 or 10 obviously is ridiculous and biased

    On what exact basis? There are so many parallels between the two. I think it's close.

    Close but i think that larry's looked a bit more solid, you needed a harder clean shot to drop Holmes. My opinion

    So by that you are agreeing they are very close.

    I know where you are coming from. What do you think of Joe taking dozens and dozens of good right hands off Schmeling before eventually succumbing when a tad green, overhumped and undertrained? Some hold this against him but imo it's actually an asset in his durability rating.

    I'm embarrassed there are some voting 5 and under on classic i must say. The usual suspects no doubt.

    10 absolutely but 9 is nowhere near as bad as say 1-4.

    It is also worth noting that his chin never actually lost him a fight.

    If his chin had been like Uzcdun's, his record would have been the almost indistinguishable.

    He's a 9.
    An 8 at least.
    He was stopped just twice in 70 fights, in a 17 year career. And he was fighting legit contenders in just about every year he was active.

    Just ignore him. He's insecure. I've gotten a similar score on an online test.
