Prime Larry Holmes vs. Brian Nielsen

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

We know that the nearly 48 year old Holmes fought Nielsen in his home country of Denmark, but Nielsen got a gift decision. If the prime Larry Holmes fought Nielsen, he would punish him at long range behind his great left jabs and right hands to either decision him or stopping him late. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Of course, Nielsen just showed mercy in address of the old Homes. Brian would destroy the young Holmes in a couple of rounds.

Holmes would walk though Neilsen.

I have prime Holmes pretty high in my AT HW rankings. Both by career and H2H.

Holmes would have him on toast.......it is either over quickly or Nielsen takes a prolonged, horrible beating.
