Head to head, I think Holmes would beat Louis in a fight, but resume wise, Louis takes it. But in 11 years Louis defended his title 25 times, when in 7.5 years Holmes defended his 20.

I am a huge Foreman fan but isn't it ironic that he returned as soon as Holmes retired? I mean a fight between foreman and holmes would have drawn alot of money if it happened between 1980-84.
Tubsy Lar who used to be skinny has a 0-6 record against champs with a title won in the ring.
Tyson ducked Foreman, not Lar who served as a highlight KO. Whenever Big George was active, he was ranked and not Lar.
U could look it up as Casey Stengal used to say.

Louis was the far more skilled fighter. Holmes was always open for right hands as he dropped his constantly. Louis had the greatest straight right in boxing history.
Holmes boxes cautiously early as Joe sets him up for a finisher. Larry tries to establish his jab many of which Louis parries and slips. Louis lands a huge right hand mid fight and the bout ends soon after with a fusillade of combination blows. Louis TKO round 8. Holmes leading 5-2 at bouts end.
