    Who was the old-timer who gave a young Holmes the nickname "big Jack" ?
    it might have been Bundini Brown, or Ray Arcel, or someone else, i can't remember ..... but it was in reference to Larry's similarity in style to Jack Johnson

    Not even close to true and you know it. Johnson beat better fighters and did so easier. Johnson had the speed, strength and defensive advatage... Holmes had reach and a solid jab. What's worse you claim Holmes could stop Johnson... come now... you must feels holmes power is better than most on here eh?
