Now, I don't wanna shit on Holmes. But he talks too much shit, and his record as a Champion needs a little revisiting. He always talks about not having his "just due", but just take a look at his record post winning the title against Ken Norton- a fight that could have gone either way and a fight where he never gave Norton a rematch:

Evangilista, Occasio, Weaver, a young and inexperienced Bonecrusher, Zanon, Ledoux, Ali when Ali was near brain dead, Spinks (when Spinks couldn't beat a brain dead Ali the second time around), Berbick before time, couldn't stop Tex Cobb, Scott Frank, David Bey, and a host of other spotty shit fights.

He nearly got knocked the fuck out vs Witherspoon, the best out of the lot before he got to Mike Spinks, and should have lost that one.

Holmes talks a lot of shit, but the guys he is bragging about on his record can't get in the ring with Ali in his prime, let alone get past the first 5 rounds.
