    Im in agreement with Ice,Holmes would snipe him to death with that jab,Lewis has this little hitch when he's stalking where he drops his hands and resets them before he throws. Holmes would drill the jab every time he did that. The only way I could see Lewis winning that fight is if Holmes got cocky and pressed him.
    Lennox Lewis got outjabbed against Ray Mercer, Frank Bruno, theres no way he could handle that piston like left jab of Larry Holmes.

    Holmes could be the Greatest Heavy of all time, but we don't know because he never had to fight a Lewis, a Holyfield, a Tyson (prime) or an Ali (Prime). I would love to have seen Holmes and Tyson in their primes at the same time, really can't call that one

    Lennox Lewis is the most overrated HW in history.

    In Britain he is only the 4th best ever

    1. Frank Bruno
    2. Henry Cooper
    3. Herbie Hide
    4. Lennox

    Lewis was lucky to catch a Bruno past his best.

    Cooper fought Ali twice

    Hide had aweome hand speed and power and woul have beat Lewis.


    Only joking

    Form me Lewis lost twice against opponents who he shouldn't have lost to which for me will always put him further down the list than he should have been
    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Larry Holmes
    3. Joe Frazier
    4. Joe Louis
    5. Lennox Lewis

    I think lewis got caught by a once in a lifetime shot from mccall & he hadnt aclimaitized for the rahman fight. I mean he knocked the f**k ouut rahman in rematch & made oliver mccall cry, what more could he do.

    He did fight alot of great HW's, not good ones, great ones, and he just destroyed them.
    We dont look at that era as a great one for HW's for one simple reason, most of those guys barely made Holmes sweat,his hardest fight in his prime was actually probably Cobb, for no other reason then this, Cobb wouldnt go the hell down and stay there. Nobody knew,or knows to this day what in the hell was keeping him upright. Cosell quit announcing boxing over that fight.
    Larry didnt have the Ali ability to just make you look foolish, or that Tyson 1 punch and its over,he was somewhere in the middle

    I can't think of one 'Great' Heavyweight that Holmes fought between 1978 and 1985, lots of 'Good' Ones

    Larry Holmes's career could be compared to Lennox Lewis career in some ways.

    Ken Norton------Evander Holyfield
    Muhammad Ali------- Mike Tyson
    Gerry Cooney------- Andrew Golota

    It could be compared in a lot of other ways too, but they would be favourable to Lewis. I put Holmes ahead of Lewis, but on paper Lewis has the better resume imo. As I have always said there have only been 2 great eras of Heavyweight boxing,- Early Seventies, and Early -Mid nineties
