Larry Holmes that fought Mike Tyson vs Chagaev. What round does Chagaev fall?

I don't know. That Larry Holmes was shot, and Chagaev was able to beat Valuev and Ruiz.

 

Loses UD imo.

 

Why are you so obessed with Chagaev? Did he **** your mother?

 

"Obessed" or not, he makes valid points...


Chagaev gets murked in 6.

 

6 rounds? Holmes is not a puncher. How does Chagaev match up to the fragile glass chinned Gerry Cooney,who went 13 rounds. At least Chagev seems to take a very good punch.

 

Larry won at best, one round against Tyson.

And most of the fight ?

It didn't last four rounds.


Chagaev would almost certainly outpoint that Larry.


Prime Larry KOs Chag in the first half of the fight.

 

I don't think that there is any guarantee that Chagaev would " fall " in any round vs the shot version of Holmes who fought Tyson. Larry was 38 years of age, off for two years and was in horrible condition. A prime Holmes would have been a different story, and perhaps so would have been a 1992 version who was at least fighting actively again. Holmes was at a career low in 1988. Chagaev would have had my vote to take a close decision in what would probably be a very boring and disappointing match..

 

An even more shot version of Holmes beat an undefeated Mercer by UD three years after that fight and went the distance with Holyfield. No one did to Holmes what Tyson did.

 

At the end of the thread title it says "What round does Chagaev fall?". I answered, "he loses UD". As in Chagaev loses a UD. He outboxed Mercer AFTER losing to Tyson. But I don't know, I'm not sure.

 

As someone mentioned earlier, Holmes as at a low ebb against Tyson, because he had been off for two full years, and had only a few weeks (8?) to train. The Holmes who fought Mercer and Holyfield had renewed his commitment to the sport and was and active fighter in better condition.

 

That said, the Klitschko fight suggests that Chagaev would always have trouble against an educated fighter with skills and a good jab.
