prime larry holmes vs prime tyson

[ICB]

who wins this one i say larry holmes wins

[VictorCharlie]

Holmes with late tko or UD....I think it would pretty much look like the Douglass/Tyson fight....larry on his toes pumping that legendary jab, and tying mike up on the inside.

[pacdog]

Not sure larry certainly could get into the late rounds as even the older verison was having some success, wether or not his awesome jab could keep mike off alnight I dont know but he might have been able to, could go either way, tyson by ko or holmes by ud

[SimonH]

A 38 year old Holmes, 10 years past his pomp, made a prime Tyson look silly for a minute or two....

1978 vintage Holmes, schools Tyson, and even if Tyson does land a bomb or two, Holmes has shown he can rise and fiddle his way though when at his peak.

Holmes; off the floor, by close, but unanimous decision; 10 rounds to 5 (144/140 with knockdown), as Holmes dominates the Championship rounds Tyson never tasted

agreed if tyson struggled with douglas jab imagine how much he would struggle against prime holmes jab

Larry UD

Tyson beats NO TOP 10 ALL-TIME GREAT he didn't have the heart for it and that includes guys smaller than him like Marciano and Dempsey!

[TheChosenOne]

with cus in tyson's corner to modivate him i think tyson got a chance againsed any top 10 condender.

Tyson is his own enemy

[Poom]

Funny how everytime its Heavyweight X vs Prime Tyson people always say X will win.

It's funny because everyone else overrates Tyson. Yeah the only PRIME Great fighter he beat was a LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT but he'd just demolish EVERYONE anyways Great or not.

Tyson only beat 2 greats and 1 wasn't even a heavyweight!!! So why choose him over ANYONE in the top 10 all-time?

Yes Mike was a very dynamic scary fighter but he just didn't have the level of competition OR the longevity of his prime needed to crack the top 10 all time and honestly I think anyone from that group whips him

[ICB]

larry holmes is great fighter he could brawl he had best jab in hw divison in my opinion he could take body shots he had great stamina+heart good footwork and great chin and im sorry prime holmes beats tyson

[cockey cockney]

Tyson knocks him out.

[The_One77]

Holmes dosen't have the chin to hang with Tyson, one left hook and Holmes was wobbling like a chicken..
Tyson KO within the first 6 rounds

[El Kabong]

Holmes took Shavers' best shots and still beat him!

I just don't see Tyson getting the leverage on him to really crack him good, the only reason he did it when they did fight was because Holmes' legs were long gone from being an old man

[Galaxy]

A prime Larry Holmes wins a UD.
