Larry Holmes calls Fury & aj amateurs

Disagree on the technical aspect, the strategic aspect, or both?

Holmes will always be in the discussion of great HW jabs. I'm arguing that his jab wasn't quite as good as a lot of people say it was, for the reasons I outlined above. Whether or not analysts or judges agree is of no concern to me.

 

Great like I said we can agree to disagree but from my eye test it’s better than Fury’s.

 

Why specifically? Not saying an argument can't be made, but I like to see where people are coming from.

 

Carl Williams was one of the best jabbers of the 80's. His jab was his best punch and Holmes beat him in a jab battle when Williams was prime and undefeated.. So Holmes struggled with a the jab of a jabber that could potentially make a top 20 list of great jabbers at HW.. And??
What great jabber did Lennox Lewis out-jab? Bruno , Holyfield and Rahman?
Does getting outboxed and out-jabbed by Bruno mean the jab of Lewis needs to be reappraised?

There are many times Wlad deserved to be marked down for being unable to control guys using his jab.. Yet you don't apply the same critique of Holmes to Wlad when Wlad is even more guilty of the things you discredit Holmes for. There's a blatant double standard to your posting.

You can bet your ass Holmes wouldn't have been draped over the back of a shot to pieces Mormeck or running away with his hands behind his head against Povetkin.
