    Yeah. Weaver was expected to be a warm up for Holmes' next defence against Earnie Shavers,who damn near put Larry's lights out with THAT right hand !

    Here's a clip (not exactly sure of the date though the comments are saying 89 to 90) of Holmes sparring with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock

    Thats where he is on my list as well..

    I would say Cooney since that was a "Superfight"

    I think that Norton might be the most highly rated fighter he ever beat..

    Though I think Tim Witherspoon is a good scalp to have though Holmes was slowing at that point and many think Tim won but Holmes still got the W..

    Like another poster said he may have never looked better then when he beat Leon Spinks..
