    Any heavyweight besides Ali and Louis.

    The Jones fight was Larry at this peak and looked it. Though Jones was screwed from the beginning, he fought surprisingly well and imo definitely looked like he belonged there the first couple of rounds. In a way it was like prime Tyson...it didn't matter who went in there, the viewer had confidence Holmes would dismantle him and that's what happened.

    To me it's a classic example of Larry at his best...I always love looking at before and after photos of Larry's prime time defenses...the challengers would look healthy and (for the most part) confident before, then a total swoll up mess after.
