    Lennox had the better resume, and the bigger man with KO power.. Holmes was a clever fighter with a good chin....

    I dont think Lewis has the better resume, I'd like to see why you think that. I'm not saying you're wrong but lets talk about it.

    Holmes by S/D. He had a good chin, but he had a great jab. Lewis would lose and win the rematch. Just thinking ahead. Better resume???

    I think Holmes would be just a bit too busy and fast for Lewis to win. Although I see a flash knockdown early on for Lennox. Holmes wins by UD 15, (8-4-3). In a rematch I can see Lennox finding a way to control the fight and possibly pulling out a close decision.

    Holmes would absolutely take Lewis to school .... Holmes was a big man who was a brilliant boxer who could jab and move, Lewis was a flat-footed guy that couldnt go 5 rounds without blowing hard . Holmes was a 15 round fighter, can anybody seriously envisage Lewis going 15 rounds ???? Lewis never fought anybody as good as Holmes, he fought hyped up guys that came to him in straight lines, he picked them off with the jab and nailed them with his big right hand .... Lewis was good but Holmes was one of the best, how can anybody think the slow Lewis could tag Holmes, who did Lewis beat that resembles a mover like Holmes ???? Im goin for a Holmes, with the cautious Lewis being dazzled by Larry's superior skills

    I will go with Holmes Unanimous Decision especially if it went 15 rds. Holmes was a master boxer and one tough hombre, I refer back to Holmes vs Norton one of the all time best Heavyweight fights.
