You admit Holmes looked like crap, admit that Spinks is at least on par with Adamek, and yet Arreola has never shown worse form than old Larry. How about prime Holmes-Travis Walker? There's a mega dream fight right, what happens in that one Max? Could Holmes dig down deep and make it out of the first like Arreola did, or was he to much of a primitive punch bag.
Now your being silly man, I've never said anything like that about Holmes. I'm not promoting Arreola as the best fighter in the world here, obviously he is not a really smooth boxer like Spinks or Holmes can be.
MOST times I think Spinks will be found and bashed by Arreola, that's all I'm saying. The Adamek fight was not as 1-sided as you say it was, it was comparable in closeness to the Spinks/Holmes fight.
Chris landed some really big shots on Adamek who has a concrete jaw for his size. I don't think Spinks would withstand them like Adamek did.
I am not claiming that Arreola should be rated better than Holmes who I do rank highly! It's just that Holmes was not as incredible as he used to think he was.
Spinks is an opponent that I think Holmes would have performed better against if he fought more aggressively against, as Arreola would. Also Holmes didn't have the power that Arreola does to bang him out.
I have noted considerable uncertainty on this one also I might add.
These 4 guys would make for excellent cross era fights could that be possible!
