    I have no problem putting Holmes at no #1 I believe H2H Holmes could beat anybody. My top 3 are in no order Louis Holmes Ali. Depending on how I lean at the time is where I place them.

    Jesus, will you **** off? We get it...you don't want people who come to boxing websites talking about boxing, especially when they don't like your favorites. That is because you are a nutthugger.

    As for hiding behind a keyboard...what the **** are you doing? I don't know you and you don't know me, and you aren't saying anything to my face, so stop being a *****.

    Holmes openly ducked fighters and bragged about the fact that he got away with it. It doesn't change anything that you want to suck his dick. Now go run along and beat your wife or husband or whatever, because I tire of your personal insults, goon.

    Civilians calling pro fighters cowards just makes you want to vomit.Holmes fought Norton with a torn bicep and got up from Shavers bomb,took on Tyson,Holyfield ,and Mercer at an advanced age and we have this muppet calling him a coward .Disgusting!

    Look, I didn't know you were a man of a certain age. I don't engage in pissing contests with my elders. Good luck to you and enjoy your grandchildren.

    I never saw Holmes at #1, and I have him at 2 or 3 depending on the day. I think he beat Louis, perhaps easily. But Louis is popular, a hero and if there is such as thing, over exposed. Holmes the exact opposite in many ways.

    Your response to Robert Ungurean should earn you a ban.

    I'm not the ***** hiding behind a keyboard calling fighters cowards.
    You know what kind of people call fighters cowards? Gutless women beaters like you the kind of guy that will only engage women and children because hes too much of a coward to go at it with a man. That's you a yellow wife beating coward.

    You started this
    Dont come on here calling fighters cowards! This is the wrong place for that. Instead of retracting you just kept it up. Admit when your wrong and move on but no you couldn't do that.

    Was it cowardly when Monzon killed his wife?
