You DO know Larry Holmes had limited power, right?

[p4pking]

No, Larry just pulled his punches all the time because he was such a sweet guy. If he feared for his life, his power was in fact unlimited, I thought everyone knew that. When he fought Shavers, he was cautioned by leading theoretical physicists not to match his infinite strength, in case they would connect at the same time, creating a black hole killing everyone on the surface of the earth.

What's the next thread Damaja? "Did anyone realize that Mike Tyson was African American?"

Lololo… good one sir! We don't need another black hole, we already had one in Calcutta.
Love the sarcasm, seriously!!

69 wins only 44 stoppages....wouldn't call him a power puncher. Above average power yes, but nothing shocking. Holmes was an all around great boxer, he didn't have any big flaws but he wasn't just wrecking opponent after opponent either, he had some good tough fights he gutted out vs some fighters who never really improved after the fact despite being young and part of that has to do with the era and how a lot of fighters at the time had drug problems.
