Larry Holmes calls Fury & aj amateurs

No, no he's not. Disputed wins over Witherspoon and Norton don't get you there. He's in the middle of the pack of greats.

 

As always, you are an idiot.

An old REIGNING, GREAT champ that 17 others had failed to best. Wlad Klitschko is very comparable to Larry Holmes, in that the wins are not jaw-dropping, but there were a lot of them. If Larry's were a hair better, Wlad was much more dominant in getting them. And Wladdy UNIFIED belts whereas Holmes split them.

Also, at 31, Fury is just getting started. When he beats your fantasy boyfriend again and moves on to bigger things, no one will deny him. But it is stupid to compare Fury's accomplishments to Larry's, when Fury is still active.

You are stupid.

POST SCRIPT:
Chisora, Cunningham, and even Hammer and Wallin all rise to the level of some of Holme's shittier title defenses.

 

I think prime Holmes beats everyone today. His jab would mince Fury up. He throws and lands more punches in 1 round than Fury throws in a whole fight.

 

What about Reynaldo Snipes? He dropped Holmes worse than Shavers did. Had him stumbling into the ropes when he got up.

Snipes's KO ratio was barely above 50%.

 

A green Tim Witherspoon managed to get on the inside of Holmes just by coming forward with his gloves up. What great schooling was on display there?

Wilder isn't representative of anything but himself and his cherry picking team. He'd have multiple losses by now if he didn't constantly try to go for the lowest hanging fruit.

 

Lennox is second only to The Greatest Muhammad Ali

 

Agreed 100% in fact i think that Fury has good chance to win

 

Holmes would get roughed up by Fury and either stopped late or beaten on points. He'd start out dancing around, snapping out his jab which would look amazing but not actually land cleanly, and throwing out the odd power punch that misses or hit gloves. Meanwhile Fury is reading Holmes's rhythm and popping him between lulls with actual scoring shots with weight on them.

After a few rounds Fury would stop respecting Holmes's punches and start pressing forwards. Holmes would be forced onto the backfoot, drastically reducing his effectiveness. Fury begins to get more physical, wrestling and mugging Holmes on the inside. Holmes begins to do better here, since he finds he can actually land and has an advantage with his handspeed, but getting ground down in the process. At some point he eats a big clubbing shot that makes him jelly legged and he goes into survival mode.

At that stage it's up to Fury to end the show. I think he lets Holmes off the hook and Holmes manages to get back into the fight following the break between rounds. At that stage though Fury's fully got the measure of his man and begins to batter an exhausted and groggy sweat-drenched Holmes, winning a UD (or SD if the fix is in).

That's genuinely how I see the fight going if I were laying money down on it.

 

Which mostly miss or hit gloves.

Ever actually studied how poor Holmes's shot accuracy was?

 

Terrible Tim is a highly skilled heavyweight. In fact some of the modern heavyweights could do well by asking Tim to come into their training team to improve their skills.

 

Lmao at those that think those tomahawk right hands Fury landed on Wilder would ever land on Larry. And wilder gets used like a speed bag.

 

Just today I was reading an article in which was reported Ali said to Foreman he was very scared of Tyson's power.
Maybe one day the fact Tyson punched harder than Shavers will be proved and accepted by all. So far Shavers is considered the hardest hitter ever.

 

Ury top3

Fury top 3 in any era really? What on the basis of 2 decent wins the rest of his opponents are second raters.He would not have lived with any of the top 10 greatest heavyweights maybe even top 20.Holmes is right on this one

 

Holmes is some defensive wizard now? He got cracked by plodding, slower HWs all the time.

Why wouldn't Fury be able to land on Holmes?

 

A 25 year old 15 fight into his pro career Tim?
