    Why the **** not :twisted::twisted::twisted:

    I actually wasn't bashing him, just giving my opinion on the fight. I know WALDO is better than a few of the guys Holmes fought yeah. Holmes on the other hand is better than everyone WALDO has fought, by a considerable distance. Except for Corrie Sanders of course, who was the most dangerous 38 year old golfer in history.

    Similiar in skill set although Wlad has a more devastating right hand. Holmes is way more mentally tough though which would be the difference when two fighters possess similar talent.

    Holmes TKO 13

    Okay, okay!!!! I wasn't jumping on your arse about the whole thing, I was just saying... But yes you're right, Holmes far exceeds anyone Wlad has ever fought in terms of both ability and legacy. No argument there. I just think that stylistically, this is a tough match for Holmes..

    Likewise Wlad is better than everyone Holmes fought up to Tyson. Yes, better than Norton, Williams, Cooney, Spinks... the lot.

    Still, it's the mental fortitude that Holmes has in spades and which would be the decider here.

    Wlad has a pretty good chance.

    But I'd pick Holmes on any given night.
