    Holmes combos were quicker, look at Larry v Leon Spinks compared to Lwewis v Mavrovic, Lewis looked more sluggish than Larry and got caught more, Spinks was quicker than Mavrovic and had better head movement.

    Larry would have beaten everybody Lewis beat, he only lost past his prime and would have toyed with McCall and Rahman in his prime.

    I thought you didn't really believe in science.

    Would anyone actually watch it if it happened would be my question. Close fight, but what a bore.

    Didn’t he? :lol:

    I never would have guessed from his potato dumpling Buddha body.

    Most of this forum have sat through a least a half-dozen Joe Bugner fights, so yes they would.

    I might have answered this before, and I probably said Larry would win a decision.. But, in thinking more about this and having more time. I think Lennox might win by knockout just on size, but on skill Larry would win..

    Early Lewis loses to Holmes.
    Later, more mature Lewis, beats Holmes.
