Do You See Larry Holmes Struggling, With Fury?

yea to much of a height and weight difference and fury at his best moves to good

 

He was still prime for Cooney, but at the tail of his prime. Cooney and Cobb were the last of his true prime fights. you might include Lucien as he won every round. Some might even include Witherspoon and argue Spoon's performance was his coming of age moment. At the very worst it was very obvious he had slowed against Bonecrusher. He was still sharp against Cooney tho. His absolute peak may have been 80 i think.

 

I agree completely. Lucien was the first sign of his decline imo, he didn't exactly look great winning. It took Tim to wake him back up.

 

Larry possibly wasn't overly "up" for Lucien too. He came in heavier than he'd ever been to that point.
