    Has anyone ever seen a h2h thread involving Douglas that wasn't his Tokyo form? Out of all of the "one hit wonder" Heavyweights like Dempsey and Tua he's the only one where I've never seen an alternate version used for him

    New thread idea: Holyfield fight Douglas vs Golota fight Bowe

    I can see Larry out fighting Buster and Buster quitting about round 6 or 7. Between rounds on his stool. Buster is a little bigger than Larry, but not as skilled.

    Expect the Tokyo Douglas to show the same dangerous hunger Tim
    Witherspoon showed in his 82 battle with Holmes. Holmes had incredible
    recuperative powers and survive's some rough moments to win on pts.

    Even fight, no one really storming ahead, until around the tenth, when Holmes drops Douglas. Holmes had a warriors heart, Douglas only showed it really once.

    Holmes embarrasses any version of Douglas.

    Aside from his whiskers, is Douglas significantly better at anything than Carl Williams?
