    I enjoyed reading this post as it sums things up nicely. There are several possibilities and either fighter could win, cause both are elite ATG fighters.

    Big by itself is meaningless, big and skilled and powerful is completely different. Lewis was the latter, and in his youth he was far from lumbering. Both fighters are elite ATG's so I think either fighter could win, but I think Lewis could possibilty win by TKO or by UD, where as Holmes would more likely win by UD, so I think Lewis has more ways to win, than Holmes.

    No, 2smart4u, when it comes to analyzing LL & K bros they don't understand. :-( Their biases won't let them understand. :yep

    Vanboxingfan summed it up well.

    anut (btw, great name, is that you in your avatar :lol: ), you make many assumptions for a guy that lost to CWT M Spinks twice :yep I'd love to make bets with guys like you in a time machine. After a handful of mostly losing bets, you'd be ready to stop w/the size don't mean nothing rap. :p

    Lewis beat Holy twice, the first fight easily (the LL-Holy I decision makes Ali-Norton III look fair). I think Holy would give Holmes a good fight. Holmes was 6'3" 215 lbs in his prime, not much bigger than Holy, and smallish vs LL. :deal

    This thread might mean something, if you gave a more detailed analysis than that.

    If your argument comes down to purely fighting other big names in their prime, can you please name all of Larrys ATG victims that were prime??

    I assume you'll be starting with Ali?
