Is there any heavyweight that Holmes couldn't beat once in a trilogy?

Ali is the one guy i'd be confident of.

Frazier would be some sort of chance. If we took early rampaging Tyson and matched them quickly he'd be a reasonable chance for me.

I find Lewis, Liston and Foreman very close matchups so three in a row would be stretching it tho if Foreman KO'd him first fight it would be hard to come back from. Joe Louis would also have a shot.

I think he and Norton would go 2-1 either way.

But yeah Ali would be the only guy i'd be prepared to put money on.

 

You're right, my friend. I didn't consider this chronologically.

 

i think he beats mike less than 1 in 3.

ali and fury are right on that margin. ali was so fast and fury is so big and neither is bad at much (in their primes, both of which were disrupted)

 

prime Ali

 

Also no version of holmes would ever bea# 1988 iron mike

 

No.

His fighting style in the seventies was very different from what it had been in the mid sixties.

He had some fundamental flaws, but he was too fast for anybody to be able to take advantage of them.

 

Moore almost won the second fight. Think he went to the grave thinking he won

 

Yes.

Not really.

No.
