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
