    your answer of " mercer,mccall" is repetitive like hell, and not truth that´s all, get a new argument, you will need it

    Holmes beat Mercer. He nearly beat McCall. Shot fighters do not do that five years after they become shot. The argument stands.

    it is not even an argument... this fact just proves that holmes had stylistical advantage over holyfield and mccall and he would have beaten these guys clearly prime vs prime, but of course holmes was a complete shot since 1988, he did beat butterbean also, maybe you think that he was in his prime because he did it.

    No, because Butterbean was awful. Ray Mercer and Oliver McCall were world class fighters and former title holders.

    Holmes was not remotely close to being shot in 1988, else he wouldn't have had a prayer with either man, stylistic advantage or not. When you're shot, you're done. There is no coming back.

    Tyson beat a rusty but still serviceable Holmes, knocked him down with one punch, and went on to knock him out. The only man to do so. End of this particular discussion, as far as I'm concerned.

    larry holmes was 38 in 1988, he was retired since 1986 and he did not win a fight since 1984? He was fat, slow, and he was not motivated, oh yes , it was the clear definition of shot

    No, that's the clear definition of ring rusty. But you seem to think the two terms are interchangeable, so never mind.
