Wladimir Klitschko face to face with Larry Holmes

In 1982 Holmes fought twice - Tex Cobb, who couldn't box or punch and Gerry Cooney who went 13 rounds with him despite having fought only about a round and a half in the previous 2 years.

Sanders and Brewster would have given Holmes a much tought fight than Cobb or Cooney.

Holmes fought a long list of pathetic fighters.

Wlad beats Holmes. But Wlad might have been in serious trouble against Shavers who was beaten by Holmes.

 

Holmes suit = $75 at Walmart. Ridiculously cut.

 

Didn't notice until you pointed it out, but yes, you are correct.

 

Nice to see that Adamek dressed for the occasion.

 

Holmes clearly buys off the rack.:think

 

:smoke That looks like at least 4 inches !

Great pic. :good

Holmes is a solid 6'3, unlike Haye who is 6'2 at most.

 

It may be. Adamek is slightly taller than Holmes.

Interesting.

According to Boxrec, Spinks is 6′ 2½″, Adamek is 6′ 1½″, & Holmes is 6′ 3″... but they all look about the same height.

Maybe Holmes has shrunk with age, because he's nearly 62 years old now.

 

I think Adamek is a little taller than his listed 6'1 1/2.
Arreola is listed at 6'4, and is probably really about 6'3.

Adamek is 6'3, or at least 6'2 1/2. I don't know why people still believe boxrec.
Brewster and Peter are not 6'2, Paul Williams is not 6'1. The list goes on and on.

 

I think it's the angle of the picture.

In this picture Holmes looks to be considerably larger than the 6'6 Wlad and the 6'7 Gerry Cooney. Micky Ward at 5'8 looks tiny compared the all of them though.

How tall are Brewster & Peter really then? :think

 

So Adamek is probably at least 6′ 2½″ if Arreola is 6'3?

 

yep :good
