Larry Holmes v. Lennox Lewis (in their primes)

Agreed.

 

holmes boxing skills are just to good ,close but un decision

 

Holmes UD.

Lewis has a shot because of his right hand, but Holmes was a master of surviving. Even if he does get dropped which is likely, I think he'd survive and be able to get the better of Lewis because of his jab (In my opinion the best ever)

 

You can't fault Lennox much for the Bruno fight, Bruno was a good fighter with a good jab and got taken out. But looking over many of the fights in which Lewis struggled, a common similarity between his opponents is that they had quality jabs.

 

Very tough fight either way

I pick holmes but it would be his toughest fight by far.

 

How many good jabs did Holmes deal with, though? An aging Norton ran him to a very close decision, Witherspoon basically drew with him and Williams beat him in my opinion. Now, he was getting old against Williams, but you can apply the same reasoning to some of his fights. A good jab is going to trouble anyone. Ali had his share of trouble with Jones, Norton and Young.
