    I'll admit this fight would be pretty close. I think Holmes would pull it out though. I believe Holmes was a superior boxer with better movement than Wlad.

    Holmes is so crazy overrated it is scary.

    He couldn't put many average fighters away in his prime and even towards the end of his career, no all-time great would have lost to Spinks the second time.

    The moment Wlad unleashes and connects on one of his rocket right hands Holmes would go into a shell.

    Larry Holmes wins a decision somewhere in the vicinity of 118-114.

    Larry Holmes 6'3, around 215 pounds in his prime
    Wlad Klitschko 6'6, around 245 pounds in his prime

    Wlad wins, most likelly by stoppage

    Better right hand than Wlad? :patsch :rofl

    Sure, sure...................

    Wlad hits a lot harder than Larry ever did. :deal His jab is not quite as fast but it's much more powerful.

    Left hook? Wladimir easily..................

    You could argue that Holmes had a better jab because you think it was quicker or because Larry snapped it really good. I wouldn't argue with that. I would say Wlad's jab is almost as fast as Larry's, just as accurate & it's def. more powerful.

    Wlad is pretty fast on his feet & he's known for having great footwork, especially for such a big man.
