    If by "Larry Holmes" you mean a Giant-Sized-Ruiz, then yes.

    Not really

    Wlad is better puncher, more economical and safety first fighter

    Holmes had better footwork and more mobile and his jab was a flicker. Also Larry was more versatile than Wlad. I don't see Wlad fighting good from the ropes.

    The older version of Holmes fights similar to the present version of Wlad. The pre-Steward Wlad was a hybrid of Louis and prime Holmes.

    Holmes can get off the canvas and continue..

    Once Vlad is down that's it.

    A little, their stance is very similiar.
    And to beat them both, you gotta use the same tactic "get past the jab"
