Hopefully Chazz can have the career success Tim never did (when compaired to what people expected from him)
Like everyone he had his faults, but I feel he was under appreciated as Champion, He was a sound boxer , with lots of heart and determination , Holmes defended his title for many years . I thought he wooped Spinks’s running ass. ;D
yes me too i think first fight with spinks was very close to hard to judge but 2nd fight larry definetly won without a doubt. and another thing i like about holmes is that when he wasnt in wars i liked hes tactical fighting like fight with witherspoon i watched that today and i really enjoyed it.
Cooney was looking for a pay day nothing more...if he were planning a comback why would he take on Foreman after a 3 year layoff? That fight was a joke...Quote:

Answer: none
If you want to keep bringing up Renaldo Snipes you have to accept the fact that George was dropped by the far lighter hitting Jimmy Young...And if you compare the two you have to look at the competition they faced while Holmes faced something like 11 undefeated fighters in his first career going 48-1 Foreman only faced 3 undefeated foes and except for Frazier the other two names are unrecognizable...
To be honest I dont like holmes but.. you hold the title that long and well your up there with the best, also had he fought tyson at his best he may have... may have beaten mike by decsion he had a great jab and it frustrated tyson slightly, in his prime you can increase reflexes speed accuracy, whether or not he could keep mike off all night I dont know but it would be a pic em fight. He was a great fighter just not miy type
I gotta give Holmes his props for the amount of time he held the title. Holmes was a brillant fighter with one of the best jabs ever. I feel if he had of fought in another era amoung other greats in their prime he would have held a much hiher standing today. It is not Holmes' fault he fought in a weak era but it does make it hard to compare his best wins with others because there was no one really syellar on Holmes' record.
The thing that makes me dislike Holmes these days is he always whines about being under-appreciated. He should just shut that sh*t up, we all know he was a great fighter, he just never had a dance partner to prove it!
