Where do you rank Larry Holmes?

Listen to me
We are we
One personality
And your logic is toxic
Makes no sense to me
You do not have our support
Herol Gee

 

in that case that goes for both of you

 

You don't fool me
We are but one, Herol Gee

 

Just inside Top 10....

 

i would roll on the floor.


i have him at 5-6.

 

You could make a case for Sonny Liston and Wlad Klitschko.

 

Who you got ahead of him, BE ?

 

:deal

 

You could make a case for them being in the same ballpark, and even stretch it to say their jabs were right on par, but I don't think a strong case is there for either having a better jab than Holmes. :think

...and even calling theirs as good is an uphill climb going against the overwhelming majority of boxing zeitgeist opinion.

 

That's pretty much what I meant.

If you can make a case for them being on par, then by (slight) extension, one might rank the three of them somewhat arbitrarily.

Not so sure about that.

There's not a lot to separate the three dudes in question in the Jab department.

 

Top5. Below Ali and Louis. Near Lewis, Wlad and Foreman. Above Marciano and Frazier.

 

Top 3 or 4 .the difference between holmes and a certain other HW is that when holmes was dropped by shavers and snipes he got up and won the fight .iron not China.

 

Holmes lands at that coveted #3 spot. If Wlad goes undefeated for another 5 years he mmmmmight supplant Holmes at #3. Those bludgeoning losses, and a weak resume, are what keep Wlad from gaining momentum in the Top 10.

Accomplishments:
1 - Louis
2 - Ali
3 - Holmes
4 - Johnson
5 - Marciano
6 - Tyson
7 - Lewis
8 - Foreman
9 - Dempsey
10 - Frazier
11 - Holyfield
12 - Liston
13 - Wlad sits here for now.

Head to Head:
1 - Tyson
2 - Ali
3 - Holmes
4 - Louis
5 - Liston
6 - Bowe
7 - Foreman
8 - Lewis
9 - Vitali
10 - Wlad

 

People still rank Liston over Wlad?
