    The Holmes (I think that's the version being mentioned here) who upset Ray Mercer in excellent fashion in 1992 decisions the Tuaman. Holmes' awesome jab would keep Tua from getting set and keep him frustated and off-balance all night.

    Holmes UD Tua

    No way! Holyfield outjabbed Holmes and outworked him. I agree that Holmes negated much of Holyfield's offense, but that was because Holmes fought such a defensive fight. Holmes fought to go the distance and survive, he didn't really open up and fight to win! And, to be fair to Holyfield, it's hard to knock out a guy who is fighting a defensive fight.
