Lennox Lewis vs Larry Holmes

Holmes outboxes him and wins a wide UD

 

Holmes. Wake me up when it's over. Lewis would have gassed out by round 15 anyway.

 

Id actually take Lewis on this one...

 

Interesting to see other responses.

I actually find no way that Holmes wins.

Lewis Dominates start to finish and maybe KO's late on.

I doubt Holmes would win 2 rounds

 

larry holmes with ease.............prime lennox had a tough time with zelko mavorvrich...........holmes picks him apart with the jab.....

 

Lewis by knockout. Better skills more weapons and much stronger. IMO this one is easy to call.

 

Lewis.

Bigger and stronger.

The only thing Holmes has over Lennox was Chin.

I see no way Holmes would win I mean Lennox was not a Cooney, Snipes, or any of those jokes Holmes fought.

 

Holmes in his prime would eek out a UD against Lewis no doubt , he was Alis sparring partner for years

 

What does Evander have over Lewis? Very little if you simply look at size/strength but he troubled him greatly :smooch

I wouldn't call Holmes opponents jokes either, considering a 42 year old Holmes beat Ray Mercer easier than a young Lewis If he is a joke what is Lewis?

 

But Lewis beat an old Holy and an old Tyson but but...:rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Tyson was older than Lewis when Lewis kicked his butt. A slightly older Holmes was whipped by a younger Tyson.

 

I think Holmes had the better jab and better chin. This would go a long way to a point win for Holmes.

I think Lewis would win, Holmes was flattered by weak opposition to be fair,
he struggled with a green witherspoon and past it Norton, he did impressivley while past his peak beat Mercer who Lewis struggled with, but I feel Lewis would win by TKO, he wouldnt outjab Holmes, which would lead Lewis into a bit of a sloppy brawl of a fight, where he would stop Holmes i feel.

I may be way off, but its just how i see it, not seen an awful amount of footage of Holmes (im only 20) ive seen Ali, Cooney, Tyson and Butterbean (i know he was insanely past it) fights, but i'll admit he has probably the best jab in history up at heavyweight.

 

Tough fight to call, it would be interesting to see how Lennox would deal with someone that has a jab superior to his own (and someone capable of firing it with snap even into the late rounds).

Lennox is stronger, Holmes has a better jab and chin.

Out of 10 I'd guess

Holmes via Split Decision 2x
Holmes via UD 4x

Draw 1x

Lennox via Split Decision 1x
Lennox via UD 1x
Lennox via TKO 1x

 

Holmes by UD in a competitive fight.

Lewis is definitely bigger and much stronger, but Holmes' skill level is higher.
