Beats them all.

No matter what people think Wlad is a very hard fight for Larry.

He’s up against a guy who has a great jab himself. Both men liked to fight from the outside.

Holmes is quicker on his feet.

Wlad has the better right hand but is less durable. But again…Larry could be hit with right hands.

Holmes is the better fighter but styles make it hard and Wlad’s size goes some way to evening things out.

I still go with Larry but its close.

Tyson…could go either way. I’ll side with Larry because he had more quality but Tyson was trained as a kid to beat Holmes.

Bowe??? Larry would out tough him. And once Bowe neglects his jab I’d expect Holmes to take over.

Holyfield… I think Larry steals it as Holy didn’t always keep up the pace.

Foreman…I’m fairly sure Holmes KOs him.

Larry has forgot more about boxing than Wladimir knows.

I'd take the 40+ Holmes from Mercer/Holyfield to handle Wlad.

I'd favor Holmes over all of them, I figure Holyfield gives him the most hell, but Holmes still edges him in a hard fought bout.

I believe that he could beat them all. Wlad would be an upgrade version of Gerry Cooney. A professional fighting an amateur.

Somehow I've always favored young Foreman over Holmes. Larry beats the rest but he would have to be careful early against Tyson.
