I am not the one that brought Lennox Lewis up. Someone else did. Larry never blasted anyone out. Maybe Leon Spinks but he was a total joke. I don't see him blasting either Klitschko out. Beat them? Sure he could but he is not going to blast either of them out.
Blast them out no. "Murder" them - I think so. Larry's jab, angles, thirst for battle and iron will will win the day for me.
You haven't seen much of Holmes then. He's dominated many fighters in his time and in much more impressive fashion than Wlad.
Who did Larry "blast out"? What is your definition of blasting someone out? Mine is a brutal 2 or 3 round KO. The similarites in Holmes era and this one are very similar. He fought behind a jab just like Klitschko does. Many of his fights went 6 rounds plus just like Klitschko. Wlad blasted out Ray Austin. Larry blasted out Leon Spinks. Those are two examples of blasting someone out. Taking a guy 9 or 10 rounds is not blasting someone out which is what Holmes did most of the time.
alright:? klitschkos wouldn't excel at basketball, look at their body: short arms, thick legs etc. zero zero athleticism, uncoordinated(vitali) etc.
I'll take Holmes by stoppage. Larry's right hand carried some nice pop, and his jab was good enough that he could outjab Wlad, even with his size disadvantage. Holmes establishes the jab, his heart sees him through some troublesome moments (and possibly a knockdown or two), and his right hand ultimately finds the mark when Wlad is tiring with a punch he never sees coming. Holmes TKO8 in a competitive fight.
Wow. That might be the only smart thing you've said in your life. Would you please get that gay s&m photo off your avatar? I know you have a thing for the GIMP in Pulp Fiction, but the rest of us love women.
Rummy, my man, you got it exactly right. A lot of people don't realize that Holmes could crack with that right hand. His only real weakness is that he was good enough to sometimes be suckered into punching with a puncher. I have a feeling it would be a lot like the Cooney fight, even though Wladdy is far more skilled.
I think Holmes wins because he is just smarter and a better ring technician. Wlad would get frustrated by Larry and everything in his game plan would go down the drain.
I guess you are a Klitschko fan and as a consequence your reply is not objective. Holmes is a TOP 5 ATG heavyweight, Wlad is not even TOP 10 ATG. Wlad fights more like a robot, Holmes is more naturally skilled, best 1-2 since Ali, better movement, quicker and more accurate jab. Holmes has been in wars, Wlad not. When it gets tough you do not know how Wlad will react.
