How would prime Larry Holmes go in the current era ?

Prime Foreman was not the Young fight. Prime Foreman was Frazier and Norton.....fights he dominated vs great opposition.

It's just plain old reality that Foreman when he faced the best two boxers of his time lost to them both badly.

You don't pick fights Foreman lost to try to determine prime weight.

You do look at fights Foreman lost to determine the best strategy to beat him.

 

He'd beat them all.

My concerns would be Wilder and Joshua because they've got those right hands which Holmes was vulnerable to.

 

Along with all that extra height too. I'm more worried about Joshua. I think Holmes would make Wilder look rather pedestrian.

 

Because like it or not Fury is still the lineal champion who never lost his belts.

And if/when he comes back he beats them all.

 

Wilder has the equalizer though, as we saw with Szpilka.

Joshua is a big question mark at the moment.

To me, he is still got a lot to prove. I'm not quite on the bandwagon like everyone else.

 

I think he's better than Wilder.

 

I think Wilder is better, only slightly just.

Joshuas at the same stage Wilder was not so long back, knocking out cans in impressive fashion.

But Joshua to me seems more 'manufactured' whereas Fury, the better fighter was left out in the cold because he wasn't following the script.

 

Dillian Whyte, Charles Martin, Dominic Brezeale, and even Gary Cornish look like ATG's compared to the types of cans Wilder was fighting in his first 18 bouts.

 

That's true.

I'm a big Whyte fan.
But Martin was garbage.
Kevin Johnson was a decent scalp as well.
