    Clit not in Holmes class. But neither was Snipes, and you saw what almost happened. Larry would box smart, as allways, be carefull, and turn on the gas in the later rounds, similar to the Cooney destruction, and knock him TFO!!!!!!!!!!!

    Holmes is the better fighter but he loses this on a cut.

    No doubt.

    Klit TKO 7

    I like Holmes, i think he is a better boxer and his hands are fast enough to land combos, seen as though Sanders' were, if Holmes has the power to hurt his man then he will in my opinion. I like Holmes definitely, he clearly has the better mobility and could potentially offset Wlad's jab because of that, whilst landing his own, and Larry always backs the jab up with either more jabs or offense suchas his cross etc, once he is in full swing. If he gets into full swing i think it's going to get clinical, only Wlad's jab is really standing in the way of that happening imo. I'm not disregarding Wlad's power though, he is a monstrous puncher, to the point of being hit by him could dent your ****ing skull, but i don;t see him stopping Holmes, who has more heart than a veteran surgeon has seen.

    :rofl

    Larry is faster of hand and foot, more skilled, has a better jab, chin and heart.

    Late TKO for the Easton Assassin.

    I am not sure Larry has a better jab... maybe a different one and of top class, but Wlad's jab is fast, a thudder and dominates fights. I think they are different jabs of perhaps equal class.

    All that said, Larry has championship heart in tons. Unless Wlad catches him good with repeated rights, I say Holmes pulls it out, bloodied.

    Holmes ! Vlad isn`t it Holmes class. Holmes has it all over Vlad, and when it came to jabs. Holmes would give Vlad a jabbing lesson. Vald would look like he`s moving in slow motion compared to Holmes...

    BTW, talk of Vlads jab being compareable to holmes ? Forget that, Holmes jab has twice the speed and a lot more snap on it. He`d blister Vald`s face with it if Vlad thought he could jab with the` Easton Assasin`

    It would be competitive at the beginning, but I see Wlad breaking down in this fight and Larry stopping him late.

    I tend to agree with this.

    Someone should start this thread in the general forum, and see what happens.

    The venue where this fantasy match takes place will decide the outcome... Holmes does well in classic, but gets raped by Wlad in the general forum.

    Funny how I've heard so many pro trainers on different levels comment on the greatness of Wlad's jab. Fluid, fast, and much harder than Holmes. Also hooks well off of it. They are different types of jabs, much as Liston's differed from Ali's. It is an entirely appropriate argument to have.
