    Fun fact: Juan Carlos Gomez was a very skilled fighter, similar in size to Holmes but southpaw, who practically hadn’t lost a round before fighting Vitali.

    He beat McCall and Vryches, who was top 10. He had promo issues and was never beating the Kbros. None of that means he couldn’t fight.

    I'm sure if Gomez knocked down Holmes and Holmes rose from the canvas to eek out a controversial decision, Holmes would be lauded for his stiff opposition and championship heart.

    Don't forget Ali. Vitali would be a nightmare for him. Ali's not quick enough to land anything.

    No, he wouldn't. Holmes faced better competition than Vitali though, that's sure.

    Fun fact: Holmes was stopped in one round in the Olympic trials by a southpaw, and fought no notable southpaws as a pro. We can rest assured that he would duck Gomez.
