      Wow, that was a load of ******.

      Anyway, Holmes was a better boxer than Foreman. There's a lot more to it than stating who they faced. George Foreman's mummy style was always going to be weak against someone who could move swiftly. Holmes had the privelage of being Ali's sparring partner for a number of years and you're going to talk about who they faced?! Just being able to clobber people doesn't guarantee a win (see: Mike Tyson's wasted career). Holmes would wear out Foreman's body and his heart. Plus, if an old Ali could do it in 8....

        good point. young holmes is better than old ali, so holmes would have an easier time with foreman than ali did in '74.

          Foreman, probably by late round stoppage.But Larry would have his moments.

            If you could place a 45 year old Foreman's brain in the 25 year old Foreman's head, you'd have tyhe greatest boxer ever.

            That being said I just don't think Holmes would weather the Foreman storm. Foreman ko 5. If it went past the 7 I think Holmes wins.

              actually, if you place a 32 yr. old ali's brain, in a 25yr. old ali's body you would have the best fighter ever!

                  I think holmes is slightly overrated on forums. He came at a weaker era than the 70s and his best win was gerry cooney. He could be hit and dropped hard too. Foreman by stoppage.

                    Gotta go with Foreman. Far lesser punchers dropped Holmes. Not the best jaw. Once GF hurt you, forget about it.

                    If Holmes could survive to late rds, might have a chance as George might gas. I just don't believe Larry would last into the late rds.

                      exactly. Ali ruined him. He never changed his style back after that.

                      I think Foreman of 73-74 wins though, he was an absolute terror at that time and wouldn't have respected Larry.
