    I'm not sure about that Larry was good, but it wasn't impossible to outbox him, Prime Tyson and Wlad would both give him troubles. I think he'd outpoint maybe stop Tyson late and Wlad would do what Wlad does and barely lose a round although he might have a Sam Peter like scare or two.

    I don't see why people think because he's black and he said this he must be on some racial agenda, he's wrong though, Klitschko's jab is technical perfection in my eyes, there's a reason why nearly every fighter he fought has had huge trouble against it.

    Because he's a bitter old fart who think a subpar lardass plodder like Stiverne or a glass jawed but decent Wilder who's was terrified to take a shot from Stiverne would pose a threat to the most dominant HW Champion of Modern Times. So he may have a racist agenda or at the very least a nationalist agenda.

    Holmes is a bitter old man who was never that good.

    He abandoned a belt because he was afraid to defend it against Greg Page.

    He also openly ducked Pinklon Thomas.

    Never unified any belts.

    Lost twice to a light heavy when he was on the verge of setting a record.

    Won the belt on a controversial decision to Norton, who was dominated by others.

    Squeaked by challenges from Witherspoon and Williams that many feel he should have lost.

    Liked to beat up on corpses like Ali, no hopers like Marvis Frazier, and fat, unmotivated drug addicts (accept for Page and Thomas, unmotivated drug addicts that he was afraid of).

    Made a jack-ass out of himself at every turn.

    He is just bitter that with the ascension of Wladdy, there is no credible way to put him in the top ten an longer. Making a statement like this pretty much shoots any credibility that he had left.

    The guy is so jealous he actively refuses to help out amateurs in his area because he wants to be the only known fighter from that part of PA :lol:

    Weird dude.

    "Rocky [Marciano] couldn't carry my jockstrap. And I appreciate if [anybody] try to run a computer fight to put the trooph in the machine and not some fantasy thing because people want a white hope. There will never be a white champion as long as black fighters fighting the way they are. If I hurt you back there Sonny...is your name Sonny? Peter...If I hurt your feelings back there...So. ****ing. What. This is my show, and you are been invited by Caesar's Palace. You are freeloading off your brother even after he's dead. Now, if it wasn't for ME, Peter, if it wasn't for ME, you wouldn't have never been invited to Caesar's Palace where all your expenses are paid. No, no, no, face the trooph...you could go back to Boston and wherever you come from with...all the other people in Boston that I think is all RACIST, and shove Boston up your ass. ...Cause you could NEVER do what I done."

    "When Rocky Marciano was fighting, I wasn't even a thought in my father's *****."

    Holmes knows what he's talking about and people don't wanna admit it. Wlad has real fear in his heart and Holmes is calling it. Vitali got heart but Wlad will break under real pressure. Prime for prime Holmes would beat the brakes off him cause Holmes was a true warrior and an excellent boxer/ puncher. I'll tell you something else you might not like, When Wilder gets more quality hard rounds and discipline under his belt, Wlad is gonna retire before the showdown. If he don't get Wilder by the end of this year it will be too late cause the Titan of Tuscaloosa will be too hard to handle after that.:lol:

    What was Holmes doing at 38? Oh yeah... He got beaten by a light heavyweight bombed out by Tyson and washed up. Hmm

    Hey B.E if youre ever bored can you pop into the prediction league and let me know why you rate him so high? I dont know much about old time boxers, IB did a real great write up (found on page 1 or 2 of the thread) and just would like to hear another person whos an actual fan of holmes to weigh in as well.

    But if you dont have time no worries
