    Lenny Lewis's top 10 best/biggest scalps face-off with Larry Holmes's top 10 best/biggest scalps in a 10 fight series of fantasy fights. Both Lewis And Holmes are top 5 ATG Heavys, But who beat teh better oppentents? Some mint match-ups to consider, so enjoy my topic lads. :thumbsup

    My own predictions are in brackets!


    2003 Vitali VS 1983 Witherspoon (Vitali close decision)

    1999 Old Holyfield VS 1978 Old Norton (Norton v.close split decision)

    2002 Shot Tyson VS 1980 Shot Ali (Tyson mid-round TKO)

    1996 Mercer VS 1985 Truth Williams (Mercer mid-round KO)

    1998 Briggs VS 1979 Shavers (Briggs early KO)

    2000 Superheavy Tua VS 1982 Cooney (Tua mid-round KO)

    1992 Razor Ruddock VS 1981 Neon Leon (Ruddock early KO)

    1993 Tucker VS 1981 Berbick (Tucker wide decision)

    1995 Morrison VS 1981 Snipes (Snipes late KO)

    1993 Bruno VS 1992 Mercer (Bruno wide decision)

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Totals = 8-2 in favor of Lewis.

    i'd actually pay for them dreads, but larry's haircut is a little bit pitiful.

    You missed Weaver, Snipes, Berbick, Smith, Golota, Rahman, Mason, Akiwande (underrated)

    I don't like randomly picking 1 set of title opponents against another set though, it proves little but I do think Lewis has the better list of scalps

    Golota was a better scalp than morrison imo.

    Lewis's seem better in the matchups you suggest, however, no way does briggs knock out shavers.

    But Golota said he had a bad allergic reaction to a injection before teh fight, so i dunno if he was better then Morrison.

    Was Golota a liar?

    "Despite two losses in a row, Golota's stock among the Heavyweights had risen so much that the WBC decided to make him their number one challenger, and so on October 4, 1997, he received a shot at the world's Heavyweight championship against Lennox Lewis, once again on HBO's Pay Per View branch. Two hours prior to the bout, Golota was injected with lidocaine due to an injured knee. Suffering allergic reaction to lidocaine, Golota was knocked out in the first round."

    Why cant Briggs KO Shavers? :huh Cannon Briggs is a ****ing huge puncher And Shavers was KO'd in 2 minutes of Round 1 by Quarry, who is only a small average puncher.

    Yes,Lewis does win out here,Hook. I agree with most of your selections,but not about Tucker and Berbick. Tucker was faded by 1993,so a peak '81 Berbick would beat him,in my opinion.

    Well golota was much more proven over his career imo.

    Briggs power is a myth mate. Probably the greatest lie in the current hw scene.

    Not sure what this thread was designed to do really..

    personally if we want to make a REAL comparison, then lets take a look at how both of them did against Ray Mercer and Oliver McCall.
