He's always been the practical type and does what is proven to work. That's part of why I love Larry Holmes, peevish and as resentful as he is.
Bob Foster, one of the light heavyweights of his time said they all wanted the title, but no one wanted to fight Bob.

Junior Welterweight - Aaron Pryor vs Meldrick Taylor
Turns out he's undefeated against guys that are 6'5"

Buster Douglas is loses, Tokyo Douglas has never lost a fight in his life.
This fight could be a toss up based on who starts faster. Both of them had issues with getting nailed and possibly knocked down in the early...
