    Holmes at any age wins. JT was as slow and predictable as Butterbean whom
    Holmes defeated in his fifties. Holmes in prime ko 2. In 96 Holmes on points.

    I went with Holmes due to Jimmy's crude style and inconsistency. But Thunder could be dangerous at times and Holmes was really getting up there in years by 1996.

    I just see Holmes outsmarting the clumsy Thunder to a decision.

    Agreed with the above. Holmes wide UD but Thunders power and youth are definitely an x-factor.

    Larry was just too smart and even in 96 too much of a boxer for Jimmy to have anything but a punchers chance. Thunder just never impressed me in the least.
