Wlad vs. Larry Holmes

Double TKO1. Their jabs collide and break both their hands.

 

I am clicking to try and report a suspension but it doesn't work!!

 

Ive just got to know who had Wlad by Tko , really????

I think Wlad would pull out injured and ask big brother to come in , problem is Holmes jabs V's head off also.

 

Holmes wouldn't have lost to Sanders or Brewster, but Wlad wouldn't have struggled with some of the guys (Norton) who gave Holmes hell and he would never have lost to Spinks, who wasn't better at HW than Byrd. Too many people define Wlad by his losses in these fantasy matchups. Wlad is the only opponent Holmes would have faced who can match him in a jab contest. Holmes has the better chin, Wlad more power. Great fight, Wlad edges it due to styles. I still think that a Sanders - type is better equipped to beat Wlad than an ATG with Holmes' style.

 

larry holmes at his peak..... in my opinion was in 1982 when he beat gerry cooney there is no doubt in my mind....that larry holmes woulda knocked out wladimir klischko out....................in all honesty the ray mercer of 96 who gave lennox hell....that ray mercer woulda definetly knocked out wlad...

 

Yeah, its a strange one to put out there. Sanders or Tyson, or someone else who can get in to Wlad's chin and hit it hard.... those are the obvious choices when it comes to picking difficult fighters for Wlad.

Putting him in with someone who jabs slightly better than he does? I have a feeling it wouldn't be a very good fight.

 

I never knew his global ID was 150... that's pretty interesting :think

Yea, I agree. I'd be very interested to see a current Wlad fighting the Sanders that beat him. Wlad would have to box VERY carefully in there or catch him with a lucky shot because Sanders is a nightmare opponent for him any way you look at it

 

anyone who think WK will win, needs to watch more boxing. Holmes by TKO7

 

no comment

 

Larry's got a better jab, good footwork for a man his size, faster hands, a bigger heart and a tougher chin.

He either decisions Wlad or gets a late TKO.

 

Holmes is the smaller version of Wlad. Wlad wins

 

imo holmes is the smaller, less powerful, but faster version of wlad. it would be an unbelievble borefest by wlad winning a ud or a late tko. holmes was a great fighter but he would have big problems with wlad jab, straight monster right hand and left hook. holmes was always open for the straight right and he liked to get into a brawl, but holmes had also great determination and a big heart coupled with a great chin. i'm changing my opinion, it's a 50-50 toss up. it would be a close decision win for one of them
