Prime for Prime:Larry Holmes vs Sam Peter

Power is primarily a neuromuscular thing.

Neither muscle nor fat will in themselves increse it significantly.

 

peter was a gassing fatboy who, despite being a gassing fatboy, nearly destroyed Klitshcko. no shock there, wlad instantly wiped out by a 37 year old retired failure.


BUT what is salient here is that peters gasses out after 5 rounds, after which larry disembowels and decapitates him with ease.

 

r u seriously claiming that being a fatboy is what makes you hit more effectively in a title fight?

quite apart formthe fact that fatty layers play havoc with your cardio, cardio is what you primarily need in pro boxing.

 

No I'm claiming being fat as no relevance to punching power, go look up a certain fighter called Butterbean and you'll find your answer.

 

in what way was berbick better?

 

Look at his record, it often gives you a clue.

 

Holmes cruises to a wide deciscion win.

lol.

Old 40 plus Larry Holmes of the Mercer fight would of beaten Sam Peter. Thats not even a joke.

Prime Holmes????:roflatsch

 

that's ok then.

 

Larry Holmes would put on a clinic against Peter and stop around the 8th/10th

 

i still feel berbick was equal not better than peter.

 

In every other aspect aside from raw power. Just what I said. Watch the fights. Study and compare their opposition.

 

Holmes with inside 6 round.
