    The streak Holmes went on:
    Alfredo Evangilista - later KO'd by a 7-2-1 LEON SPINKS

    Osi Ocasio - KO'd 5 times in his career vs pretty good fighters or late in his career BUT had only 13 fights when he fought Holmes

    Mike Weaver -18 losses.....12 losses by KO

    Lorenzo Zannon - 6 losses 5 losses by KO

    Earnie Shavers - Big time power puncher BUT got KO'd 7 times in his career and not to huge punchers or even good fighters sometimes.

    Leroy Jones - oddly enough Holmes was the only guy to beat this dude and the only other fighter I recognized on his resume was the aforementioned Mike Weaver whom he decisioned. Other than that he fought "knock off"brand fighters like HARRY Terrell and LARRY Frazier...I don't know if those guys are related to Earnie Terrell or Joe Frazier but I don't think they were claimed by the family after they lost to Leroy.

    Scott Ledoux - Scotty got KO'd 7 times in his career as well.



    Joe Louis KO'd 7 guys in a row as champion, THREE TIMES during his reign as champion. That my friend is a power puncher!

    Larry Holmes as a heavyweight had SOME power but to be a power puncher at heavyweight roughtly every guy you fight has to be KO'd and Larry didn't do that...Larry was a BOXER he boxed and he was damned good at it
    Never said Larry Holmes was a puncher i just thought you was underrating his power he could turn a fight around with one punch as he did against Mike Weaver when he was in bad shape one uppercut basically changed the whole fight around and that one punch won the fight for Larry Holmes.

    I just said Larry wasn't a power puncher....sure he could KO guys and changes fights with one punch but can't EVERY fighter over 200 pounds do that?


    Larry Holmes was a great boxer and it was because of his skill with the sweet science and not his power. Great jab great boxing ability he learned from the best
