in fairness the op specified 12 rds, i posted without reading the thread, then i saw the response and read it and it was the same old dempsey argument. 12 rounds is actually a harder pick, wills fought guys who could keep a good pace, but they weren't the complete fighters holyfield was, i'll go with ko12.
Something comes to mind, since both Wills and Greb were leading contenders for Dempsey's title. Why didn't they fight each other? Thereby eliminating one more obstacle. This is just a question, not meant to start a ba fon goo series of posts. I believe the smaller Harry would have slapped Wills around for a decision win. I would think that if Greb did that, his claim would be even stronger. Anyway just a thought.
Ya know you're are right, but some posters here make you choose. Which is kind of sad cos we, who come on here, want for the most part to read positive things but what do we get negative attack on the fighter or of any opposing view. Which is dealt with sarcasm, facts(actual and spun), name calling, it's not necessary. Of course you may favor one over the other but it should not keep you from admiring the other. I have many fighters I admire and in every division as I believe every poster on here has. But when you relentlessly attack and vilify one fighter to boost another with articles, hearsay evidence, out and out lack of knowledge which at times is glaring, nitpicking, reading into things. Like that great philosopher Rodney King once said "caint we get along!?!"
Wills is disappointing on film. He was a little chinny, and didn't hit as hard as I expected. I think Holyfield would TKO him inside 8 rounds
