    Holmes was the larger, stronger, faster and better-moving fighter. Sure Holmes did have trouble with guys whose jab culd match his (and Louis had a great one) and sure Louis usually did find a way to win, but even so, I can't see any other option than Holmes winning and probably quite comfortably at that

    Holmes would frustrated Lennox to a UD. It would be a boring fight after a few early exchanges. Lennox would be worse than Ruiz in this fight.

    From my experience, he usually misses the point.

    Just in case you're being serious...Louis is to be distinguished from Lewis.

    Holmes would win 1000 out of 1000. The chinny cruiser would get steamrolled.

    I figure Holmes stops Louis by the mid rounds, after outboxing him early.

    I can see Louis landing something early on the inside that drops Larry. But as Larry typically did, he would get up and get back to work.

    Louis would end up not having an answer for Holmes' long and potent jab. Larry would dizzy him with the jab for 5-6 rounds before the big right would start to follow it.

    A bloody and swollen Louis wouldn't be able to answer the bell for the 10th.

    Nice again!

    I'm inclined to agree with a scenario that has Holmes dropped early but rebounds to stop Louis late in a classic
