    I'm sure if Brewster and Sanders can spark out Wlad then Larry could. Wlad is pretty one dimensional and his skills are not in the same league as Larry Holmes.
    Bowe just was too lazy to beat Larry and tended to fight much smaller, powerless fighters and Larry would have given Bowe a beating.

    Lennox and Larry are closely matched but for me Lennox had that right hand to keep Larry respectful. Lennox on points.

    Lennox and Larry are Top 10 Heavy's while Bowe is Top 20 but Wlad ain't Great and still has alot to prove even to break into the Top 20 - the guys robotic and chinless.
    Larry Holmes wasn't a KO puncher (69 wins & 44 KO's)....Wlad IS a KO puncher (51 wins & 45 KO's), Lewis...let's not even go there, and Bowe (42 wins 33 KO's INCLUDING a KO win over Evander Holyfield).

    You may very well remember Riddick being lazy but in his short prime he was as dangerous as they come, anytime you take a prime Evander Holyfield and just whip his ass 2 out of 3 times then you're doing something special. Also Larry never fought guys as strong as Wlad, Lewis, and Bowe...those guys are beasts

    All-Time great status does not factor in to deciding who wins a 1 on 1 fight. Buster Douglas was a bad mofo when he beat Tyson and on that night he may very well have beat any person put infront of him.

    Can't rep you again..... but that's a damn good way of putting it. Bowe was a monster in his very short prime. He put some serious beatings on Holyfield and I was rooting for Holy..... He took a damn good punch also. I can't see Holmes jab as good as it is having much affect on the Bowe that fought Holyfield first time around.

    Bowe beat Holyfield once the first time they met. The third match Evander was a sick man and yet still held his own, till he ran out of gas. Bowe never posessed the balls of a champion he knew Lewis had his numberfrom the olympics
