    Agreed, if Shavers hit Vlad with that right that he drilled Holmes to the deck with, Vlad would STILL be down.. Sanders, Purrity and Brester couldn`t carry Holmes spit bucket...

    As I said it's no disgrace to WALDO, not many could carry prime Holmes spit bucket.

    Holmes by TKO6. Far more proven, better chin, faster, and his jab is a tad better.

    Holmes was over 40 when he fought those guys. Klit was in his PRIME when he was KO`d... Watching him fight is like watching paint dry... Does anyone in their right mind that Purrity, Sanders or Brewster would even have a moment against Holmes ??? Much less stop him?????

    We've been over this before and Vlad has a clear edge here.

    Vlad has nearly every advantage over Holmes except for the jab where they are equal.

    The only people that would make Holmes the favourite in this fight are blinded by nostalgia.

    Forgot that Vlad does have that blinding chin, great fighting heart and anvil chin. Yep they match up evenly...When he finally does retire, people will say `best of all time` ...

    Wlad is already top 10-15 or so, nice try Mr. Hater. Holmes isn't top 5 either, lower half of the top 10.

    If Vlad is already top 10-15, then where do we rate Purrity, Sanders and Brewster ? Fact, if you own a china chin you do not make the top 10 of any greatest list... Have people forgotten that Holmes never lost in his prime ??
