    Oliver McCall was the smaller guy against Holmes, he weighed 231 pounds in his fight against him and Holmes
    weighed 236 pounds.

    Larry Homes is 6ft 3 tall and Oliver McCall 6ft 2, your comparison makes no sense.

    By the way, Oliver McCall was never as good as Anthony Joshua, a lot of people on this forum can't judge talent
    and you seem to be one of them.

    I wws comparing their punch.
    Mc Call did knock out green Lewis though.It is conceivable he would do the same too young Joshua.

    I think Anthony Joshua hits way harder than Oliver McCall and is much more effective than he was.

    Oliver McCall had a lucky day against Lennox Lewis, he never did the same again to any good heavyweight.

    Back to the thread, it is clearly Holmes.

    Mercer fought an even bout against Lewis.Is Joshua better than that version of Lewis?
    Probably not.So Mercer would probably have beaten Joshua.

    Even if ypu disagree, Holmes dominated mercer.Wlad got knocked out by Joshua and was behind on the scorecards.

    Mercer fought an even bout against Lewis but he lost to Jesse Ferguson and had a draw with Marion Wilson,
    Lennox Lewis had a couple of bad performances in his career and his performance against Mercer was clearly
    one of them.

    I don't think that Ray Mercer would have beaten Anthony Joshua or Wladimir Klitschko.
