Wlad vs Larry Holmes, who wins?

You should just change the title and post to:

"Please, Klitschko haters and nuthuggers come here to not talk sensibly but ***** and whine and mock each other about a bunch of bull**** for several pages. ...Please discuss."

Because that's what you're going to get.

 

larry holmes easy

better jab , better right hand , better upper body movement , better lower body movement , quicker

basically a much better fighter than wlad

 

Holmes by K.O.

 

Vlad by knockout!!!!!!! Really no contest.

 

I think Klitschko would have a good shot at Holmes. Both were in poor eras but I consider Holmes more of an outbox you type than an outbrawl you, which is a problem when facing Wladimir. To put it bluntly, I think Haye has a better chance than Holmes would have had. No discredit to Holmes or anything, his style just doesn't match well with Wlad's.

 

Holmes is a live dog in the fight, but if could be made in reality he wouldn't be a favorite. His main weapon is the jab, and Wlad's is longer and harder. Wlad is only really vulnerable to pressure fighters, which also wasn't Holme's forte.

90% of you weren't around when Holmes was champ, and he's getting a little romanticized. He wasn't a beast like Tyson or Vitali.

 

And we haven't even gotten to the second page. I sense I'll be proven psychic on this thread.

 

Holmes stops Wlad as he would do to Lennox and every fighter after him except 88' Tyson.

Edit: I meant stops Wlad and Lennox. Some would go the distance but would lose by UD.

 

Depends on the venue. If they fight here in General - Wlad wins convincingly, in Classic - Holmes takes it.

 

Hmm, very interesting match up, I like Wlad by late KO but Holmes is very live.

 

Holmes a better jab? Not a chance...Wlad is a rock...Holmes wasnt very powerful...Holmes wouldnt be able to get inside on Wlad

 

Holmes would stop wlad late..........wlads jab is heavier....but jolmes in his prime was much faster.....holmes would take wlad to deep water ala ross purritty and tko him..... No problem at all

 

Holmes by 10th round Ko. Holmes, would bust up and eventually Ko Wlad in this particular match-up.
