I chatted with Earnie a few years ago at a function and he said Holmes was 'out' but woke up when he banged his head on the canvas. Holmes had superb recuperative powers and also a superb defence. Holyfield said Holmes was the best defensive fighter he ever faced, and that was an old Holmes.TerribleTerry wrote:Ronaldo Snipes stuck him on his arse too if I remember rightly?
