    Since Holmes struggled so much with Michael Spinks, that got me wondering how that same Larry Holmes would do against the greatest light heavyweights of all time. How would he do against:

    1. Maxie Rosenbloom
    2. Jimmy Bivins
    3. Tommy Gibbons
    4. Sam Langford
    5. Tommy Loughran
    6. Bob Foster
    7. Billy Conn
    8. Gene Tunney
    9. Archie Moore
    10. Ezzard Charles

    Does the 35-36 year old Holmes clear the gauntlet, or can a few of them win?
