Larry Holmes: Klitschko has no jab, no heart & would be beaten by Wilder or Stiverne

[Freedom]

Here he is:

[smashup]

Tell you what after years of hating Wlad and him boring me half to death over and over, his last fight was a breath of fresh air because he actually went on the offensive and looked devastating doing it.

That left Hook is a heavy heavy bomb to drop on an opponent.

Holmes is chatting utter shit.

Larry is spot on. Spot on. His piston-like jab would decapitate the K bros. Bang on.

Larry is half right. Wilder sparks Wlad, but Bermane "GIVE ME WATER UGGGHH" Stiverne would never beat Wlad and that's cold fact.

I already commenting on this thread on BoxingScene..

Basically, Holmes is butt hurt that Wlad destroyed his legacy and knows he wouldn't make a decent opponent anymore.

And so has joined the same club as Shavers, "the nostalgia delusion club" ey @Master

He rags Wlad to maintain his own legacy.

I always liked Holmes and respect his boxing.. But this was pathetic!

Wlad would easily beat all these guys, knock all of them out, Holmes, Stiverne, Wilder.. And everybody knows it!

Holmes was a really good fighter, but he always had a chip on both shoulders. I can't recall him ever saying anything remotely positive about any other heavyweight who ever lived.

I am not a big Wlad fan, though I respect him a lot, but even I can see that he has an excellent jab that's right up there with Larry's (albeit it a different type of jab)

Holmes would beat Wlad as he has better skill, heart, talent and jab.

Great post. And because of it I'll level with you the early Holmes jab, was faster than Wlad's.

But Early Holmes weighed about 200lbs... He would be knocked out by the Wlad jab

Holmes was and probably still is, an honest to God tough guy. As a lot of people used to say, a very serious dude.
Here is the only time I heard him say something remotely positive about about another HW. When asked if he ever fought Foreman, Holmes said, 'No, thank God!'
Foreman was setting across the table from him (a round table of HW fighters) so I'm not sure if Holmes was serious or just showing some respect. Lol
How Spinks ever beat him, twice, I'll never know, just got old overnight I guess.

Fuck me, if he'd just mentioned Earnie Shavers every other word or two he'd fit right in with most of you!
