    So a man who most people consider a top 5 ATG, you don't even rate as one at all. :lol:
    Do you even understand the term ATG?
    Have you even watched Holmes fight?

    *hahaha... Holmes only super fight he won was againsy Gerry Cooney... Cooney,a super fight?
    Holmes lost two to a legit lt-heavywt in Spinks... and Knocked till tomorrow against Tyson... sorry, All time greats don't lose to Spinx twice...
    People like talking bout the Klitsko's area, but truth is... the Klitsko's have dominated the era and made it look bad..the worst era ever was when Holmes was champ...

    hell yes, i dont rate him as highly as he does himself but to question the guys credentials is stupid and IMO he does well H2H against any heavy in history. Good mover and a beautiful jab to match anyone of any weight class ever

    Wow I am amazed ! Shavers Norton 7 yrs champ ! Christ and old Holmes went the distance with prime Holy. He had THE best jab of any heavy champ, good solid chin (only Tyson got a come-backing Holmes). Sharp right hand/right uppercut, incredible boxing savvy. I mean seriously, who beats him other than Clay/Ali, ? Louis? Marciano ?? He is without question an ATG. the post is ludicrous...

    Agreed. Larry Holmes prime, one tough nut for ANY great heavy.

    Not sure what you're trying to prove nor am I sure of the relevance but just so you know, against top ten opposition wlad is 18-2 (15)

    Saying norton is shot and shavers has beaten noone is ridiculous. A cursory glance at boxrec tells you nothing :)
