Holmes to me is the 3rd best heavyweight in history. He had a fantastic jab, great chin and heart of a lion. He fought huge punchers, record number of defences and was in fantastic contests. Holmes is not appreciated enough for what he achieved because he came after Ali, had controversial opinions and had no huge rivalry.

At his best he was good enough to beat the other greats in the division.

Larry had the toughness to beat Foreman, Lennox, Vitality, or Wlad, jab to keep Rocky, Frazier or Tyson at bay, skills to out box Holyfield, Usyk or Liston.
