    Ok he was older but Spinks beat him and so did Tyson and both moved their heads but he went on after this and had success and did better at an even more advanced edge against Mercer, McCall and Holyfield.
    Ross stick to making fish-fingers mate, Holmes was a very good HW Champion and in his prime would have beat Fury to be honest Tyson would not be fit to carry Holmes jock strap mate.
    Larry was a fine Champion and he was very much unappreciated by the public and media, why because he beat up Ali.
    Tyson will never be the same level as Larry Holmes, if you think so you are living in lala land.

    What about Wladimir Klitschko? More defences and more titles, actually unfified titles unlike Holmes eho only ever held one of the titles. Would Klitschko be fit to carry Holmes Jock strap? Would Holmes be fit to carry Klitschkos?

    Would Fury beat them both? Probably

    At 6'3 and 220-225 pounds no doubt hed struggle big time with Tyson Fury. Most people who dont rate Fury dont appreciate how hard it is to beat someone so much bigger than you
