Vitali Klitschko vs. Larry Holmes.

Prime vs Prime, 15 rounds, who wins?

 

Laaaaaaary! He is a top 5 ATG heavyweight . Vitali does not make my top15

 

Yeah, Larry had a good jab and good footwork.

 

Larry has some difficulty on his way to a lopsided decision win.

 

I'd go with Holmes here, no easy contest but his skills should prevail

 

How would Holmes beat him?

 

Larry would have issues and it might even be close for a while, but in the end, Larry is as much a hard ass as Vit, so Vit wouldn't win just by will. Larry's pace and skill would edge a decision.

 

Holmes would have a tough night and win. UD12.

 

I don't know about lopsided but i can see Larry coming out with a hard fought win. This is a dangerous fight though.

 

same result as gerry cooney fight , holmes by late round ko.

 

A close fight in which I favor a prime Vitali (who had a lot more weight on his right hand then these days) I think the size and power of Vitali pose a problem for Holmes.

Holmes jab and thumb could be an issue and cause a cut but Vitali keeping the range should negate the effectiveness and speed of the left hand. I can see Vitali dropping that right hand and continue the long distance wear down Larry hurting him late for the late stop or 12 round UD.......

As far as VladI really like the right hand rocket of Vlad over Holmes but in the fight the issue of toughness comes to play, but I can see it ending with Larry down hard from the right hand rocket similar to the Tyson KO of Holmes only later and a bit less dramatic.

 

Holmes. Different class

 

Holmes in his prime would effin destroy that Russian piece of **** in 1 round. PERIOD

 

Holmes was a featherfist.

 

Better hitter than Vitali.
