    Prime Holmes beats Usyk every day of the week. Love some of these crazy threads.

    Not only that, but with the Ali comparisons, I think Larry was more complete overall, like he goes to the body more. But Ali was better than him in enough aspects like mobility and speed, that would make them almost equal in my eyes.

    H2H their both 2 and 3 (yall decided who is who), with Lennox Lewis at the top

    If you think fighters today are better than fighters of the 70's and 80's then either you haven't watched the fighters from that era or you just don't understand the sport

    If Spinks beat Holmes 2x, Usyk who is shades better wins an easy UD versus Holmes.

    Is Usyk better though? Beating even that version of Holmes is probably a better win than any of Usyk's.

    Yeah. I agree that Holmes has to be a top 10 HW but his CV is crap unless you count Alzheimer's Ali.
    Berbick? Cooney? Cobb? Chinny Shavers.

    My list would be too long. Usyk is talanted but come on man. Hit YouTube and watch some of the greats talked about here befor you go put the man on a pedestal

    You have been fooled by American brainwashing propaganda. When I was really young like 10-13 I heard all about Ali how great he was. Knockout Kings 2000 also had him as the best character of the game. But then one day i happened to watch old boxing classics channel. Ali vs Foreman. From that day I realised I had been fooled my whole life. Ali were no masterclass boxer he was basically the same size as Foreman.

    I find it hilarious old people still has not figured out the lies yet. Its an entertainment industry and you are buying it. Shame on you.
