    clinching , thumbed Shavers in their rematch which led 2d standing stoppage , fought weak opposition and avoided almost every threat , avoided n immediate Norton rematch after getting a gift against him .

    factoid : did u know that Holmes was stopped twice by d 2 years younger than himself Nick Wells in d amateurs ? Holmes wasn't so green then , he was Ali's sparing partner and 2 years older than Wells .
    Holmes was also stopped by d 1 year younger than himself Duane Bobick in d amateurs , and later avoided him in d pros and avenged his loss 2 him by beating Duane's younger and lesser brother , Rodney .

    D automatic cookie cutter reply 4 this will b : Duane did not deserve a fight , but didn't he ? fighters do tend 2 try 2 avenge amateur losses in d professionals , as Miguel Cotto did against Mohamed Abdulaev , Tim Littles (initially) did against Frankie Liles , Tyson did against Henry Tillman and Joe Frazier did against Buster Mathis and there r more examples 2 it . But Holmes wanted nothing 2 do with Wells nor with Duane Bobick . he did fight d lesser Mike Weaver and Scott LeDoux , so Y was Duane whom reached a 38-0 record at a time and stopped both Weaver and LeDoux as well as stopped Weaver and Holmes himself at d amateurs avoided in d pros ? because Holmes' only assets were his size & dedication. His chin was far from what it is sometimes made 2b and yes , i know d dry listed facts , but unlike u cookie cutters , i also know beyond them so spare d cookie cutting .
