Top 10 Heavies from best to worst

[Burning Desire]

I just read up that alot of people considered Pinklon Thomas as the best Heavyweight at that time not including Larry Holmes so i am quite surprised why it never happened i think Thomas would of posed a few problems for Holmes in the jab department.

Alot of people picked Thomas to beat Larry Holmes. He was a good fighter was Pinklon Thomas but he had that lazy streak that seemed to personify alot of 80's heavyweights.

Holmes has got to be my favorite Heavyweight but i think Thomas would pose some big troubles for Holmes in jab department i remember Carl Williams giving Holmes trouble with his jab but i also think that was due to his movement aswell.

And speaking of 80s Heavyweights i remember seeing along time ago Tony Tubbs vs Rid**** Bowe i thought Bowe got a major gift decision in that fight i would love to see that again.

I think he would have given Larry trouble but I think Larry would beaten him.

So do i.

I think after the Cooney fight Holmes started to fade even though he fought good vs Witherspoon i still believe after one of his greatest performances against Cooney he started to fade.

Yeah Holmes did start to fade at the end. Maybe Thomas could have beaten him 84-85 but any earlier I'd pick Holmes. Holmes should never have lost the 2 fights to Spinks either.

Regarding a Holmes vs Lewis fight I'll have a little think about that and get back to you shortly.

Well i feel Lewis always struggled with boxers with decent left jabs look at Mercer fight and Bruno fight i think Holmes would win UD over Lewis.

I agree that Larry was on the downside post-Cooney, however I still think he had enough to beat any version of Pinklon Thomas. Just my opinion.

It's really difficult to predict and both on their day were capable of beating every other heavyweight in history. I think it depends on which Lewis were talking about, a young quick Lewis like the one who fought Ruddock, I think get's beat by decision or late stoppage and a bigger older and much better technically Lewis beats Holmes again either by decision or late stoppage.

I think that's a great depiction of how the fight could play out either way. I also think either fight could end up being a stinker of a fight, nothing more than jabfests. But I think you hit the nail on the head bro.
