    So f kg what about Nate Tubbs. Since you like boxrec so much, Earnie Shavers was blitzed and KTFO'd by journeyman Ron Stander, are you going to call Shavers a journeyman? If you put that Sanders from 03 in front of a mid 1970s Holmes he'd blitz him just like Nick Wells did (a hard hitting southpaw). Holmes was ko'd by one shot from Tyson age 38 so don't make laugh he had a better chin. 41 y/o WK took murderous shots from Joshua and finished on his feet.

    no wlad obviously has a worse chin much worse. wlad has one of the weakest chins in hw history for a major title holder. holmes has atg chin.

    the difference is obvious, its bizarre and surreal that you think the opposite is true, like you are typing in some alternative universe.

    do you not feel wierd writing what you write?

    Holmes would stand Joshua on his head completely outbox him and bust him up .A one sided lesson against a bodybuilder .Sanders beats Holmes but is KOed by Nate tubbs? in two rnds ?? unlikely.

    The top 5 of the Wladimir Klitschko era from 2005-2015.

    Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, David Haye, Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin


    The top 5 of the Larry Holmes era from 1978-1985.

    Larry Holmes, Pinklon Thomas, Tim Witherspoon, Mike Weaver, Michael Dokes


    Larry Holmes era was probably the worst of all time, Wladimir Klitschko era was decent.

    an era where two people combined cant manage what one guy did in the other era?

    an era where two people from the same family can win a portion of the hw titles compared to an era where you'd never dream a division could be so weak as to allow two family members to do that?

    An era where the worst threat to the two brothers was a 38 year old failed retiree? goodness, never has such a weak fighter been considered a threat in the history of combat, nevermind boxing. People from those eras wouldnt be able to stop laughing if you said a 38 year old failed retiree was on the way to unifying the HW division.
    Holmes wouldnt even dream of facing someone such paucity, nevermind getting bowled out with ease by such a person.
