    Interesting to compare the two, as you could use Lewis/Vitali as a similar link, but Holmes,TKO/points but nonetheless it would have been very interesting probably a classic.................

    That's a good observation. Cutting is maybe Vitaly's only weaker point.

    Holmes couldn't KO the LHW Spinks, in fact he lost to him twice, yet many believe he could KO Vitali Klitschko. Absurdity at its most exaggerated level. I think Klitschko would win by late TKO or decision.

    Spinks was ludicrously skilled, and a totally different fighter to Vitali on so many levels it's ridiculous. I don't think Holmes KOs Vitali either, no way. But to state that he couldn't KO a lhw as good as Holmes as your logic for him not being able to stop Vitali is......well, crap.

    Holmes had clearly lost a step in this fight and had already made a ton of title defenses. Also Spinks had a totally opposite style than vitali,he was very fast at hw and awkward. This is a bad comparison as to how a Prime Holmes would do against Vitali.

    There idiot newbs to boxing:patsch Vitalis robot ass wouldnt be able to land a combination on Holmes all night. His size could pose problems but he would be at a severe disadvantage in the speed department. I think Larry would have him looking like a bloody mess by the mid rounds.

    I should have put this on the classic but i was a newb back when i first posted this last year and didnt know better.:patsch I think thats why you have so many voting for Vitali, cause lot of people in the General havent even seen prime Holmes fight.

    Would be a long, jabbing affair. Judges mess up and score ends up a draw.

    You know what? I had to come back, because 25 is almost the same number as the people voting for Holmes by decision. 25 and 27. The same...mother-...Noobs are one thing, man, but almost the same number...godda-...I'm...:patsch...I mean...does Mendoza have twenty-five accounts or-....Bah! You other bitches need to get a grip on reality! Because Papa Boxed Ears is about to go off!

    The people picking Vitali by KO know absolutely nothing about boxing. Nothing.

    Prime Holmes stops Vitali over 15 rounds.
    any pre 1993 version of Holmes decisions Vitali over 12 rounds.

    Vitali is a good HW. He should have that. But Holmes is one of the very best ever.
