I'll admit this fight would be pretty close. I think Holmes would pull it out though. I believe Holmes was a superior boxer with better movement than Wlad.
Holmes is so crazy overrated it is scary. He couldn't put many average fighters away in his prime and even towards the end of his career, no all-time great would have lost to Spinks the second time. The moment Wlad unleashes and connects on one of his rocket right hands Holmes would go into a shell.
Larry Holmes 6'3, around 215 pounds in his prime Wlad Klitschko 6'6, around 245 pounds in his prime Wlad wins, most likelly by stoppage
Better right hand than Wlad? atsch :rofl Sure, sure................... Wlad hits a lot harder than Larry ever did. :deal His jab is not quite as fast but it's much more powerful. Left hook? Wladimir easily..................
Newsflash Rico, boxers are not Superheroes................. Larry was outboxed and out-pointed before, when was the last time Wlad was down on the cards?
You could argue that Holmes had a better jab because you think it was quicker or because Larry snapped it really good. I wouldn't argue with that. I would say Wlad's jab is almost as fast as Larry's, just as accurate & it's def. more powerful.
Wlad is pretty fast on his feet & he's known for having great footwork, especially for such a big man.
