I hate when ppl use Conn vs Louis to prove that Holmes would beat him

    Yeah I didn't see the relevance of that either.

    Perhaps he did.

    There is always some sort of excuse when a fighter loses, or performs badly.

    The bottom line is that Holmes beat Waever, and Louis beat Conn.

    Being an all time great is not a superpower, it is more of a conjuring trick!

    It is not easy, they just usually make it look easy!

    You think Jess Willard is a great heavyweight.

    To be completely fair one also must point out Weaver only had a 4 week training camp. To his credit he's never said he would have beaten Holmes even if in top shape and also acknowledged Holmes may not have been in his best shape either.
