Lots of bums though .

D thing is , Holmes got easy and good money 4 his defenses vs bums , so it's hard 2 blame him 4 it but it does blemish his record .
Are you kidding me ? Larry Holmes whooped Earnie Shavers twice, apart from that lucky shot in the 7th round of there rematch, Earnie Shavers was dominated in both fights.

Ken Norton didn't get a rematch because he got KO'ed in 1 round by Earnie Shavers, hence why Earnie Shavers got his shot.

Tony Tubbs only started to become a name in 1985 when Larry Holmes was finished, so how did he duck him exactly ?

As for the other names they were only champions for a very short time, like Pinklon Thomas had a very short prime. I seriously doubt Larry Holmes would of ducked either of them especially Michael frigging Dokes
