15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout
Prime Larry Holmes would overwhelm Prime Joe Bugner behind his quicker jabs, right hands and combinations to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Re: Larry Holmes vs. Joe Bugner
A Good fighter vs a Great fighter.
Holmes wins this 10 times out of 10. Sometimes he decisions Joe, sometimes he stops him.
I think even if Larry came into this fight feeling sick, and a little under the weather he'd still win.

Re: Larry Holmes vs. Joe Bugner
Holmes wins a UD, but under no circumstances does he stop Bugner. Joe had a great chin and very tight defense, so he definitely goes the distance. This fight probably turns out like Ali-Bugner I or II.
If Bugner's having a good day, Holmes wins by scores something like 9-4-2 or 8-3-4. If the Kuala Lumpur version of Bugner shows up, then the scorecards look like 12-2-1 or 13-2 for Larry.
Larry was quick fisted, but I don't think he'd succeed in clipping Bugner with any heavy punches. Holmes however could fire enough shots to permanently force Bugner onto the defensive.
It could be a boring fight. That's because they're both jabber-boxer-defensive types, with Larry simply that much better at those tactics than Bugner.
