A Holmes/Marciano fight would go the distance, with Holmes winning a close unanimous decision. In a 12 rounder, scores like 116 to 114. In a 15 rounder, 145 to 143- Marciano may even score a knock down. But he won't win the points.

I think a prime Holmes (on US soil) would have won a very controversial fight against Lewis in his prime. It would be no KO, because Holmes wouldn't let Lewis get that close- and Holmes would back away from Lewis right hand.

Remember, Lewis hardly gave you combo's. Lewis may tag him once or twice during the fight, but then Holmes would suck it up and get on his bike for half a round and counter Lewis- and Lewis wouldn't be able to finish him off in the way a Tyson would have pounced on him.

I don't think Johnson had the skill to beat Holmes at any period. But I give you Louis, Cassius Clay and Holyfield. Holyfield would out-score him how he did in their actual fight- even though I could have scored that fight against an ageing Holmes for Holmes or at least a draw.
HOLMES HAD A STUNNER OF A RIGHT BUT IT WAS NO SLEDGEHAMMER

MARCIANO WILL ALWAYS GO THE DISTANCE MY FRIEND, THERE IS NO DISTANCE TOO FAR

LEWIS DIDNT NEED COMBOS, HE RIPPED OFF VITALI'S FACE WITH ONE SHOT, ITS ENOUGH FOR HIS STYLE

JOHNSON COULD NOT BE BEAT--HE WAS A BITCH--HE WILL FUCK YOU UP PSYCHOLOGICALLY BEFORE YOU EVEN GLOVE-UP, HE WON THE FIGHT, HE IS JACK DOWNTOWN JOHNSON AND HE WILL TAKE YOU DOWNTOWN WITH HIS FUR-HAT AND DIAMOND RING AND FUCK YOU UP THE ASS UNTIL YOU LOVE HIM. BUT TYSON SAID WHAT JOHNSON WAS THINKING BUT NEVER SAID.
