    Shot Holmes was able to run a prime Oliver McCall close. Would he expose Joshua here, or is Joshua too strong, too powerful, too good?

    I would take the version of Holmes that Tyson beat over AJ.

    Definitely.

    I would take any 80s version of Holmes over AJ.

    Even if he's faded, Holmes is too smart for a retard like AJ. And despite the hype, we now know that AJ is NOT a huge puncher - certainly not a Tyson level puncher.

    But that wasnt the question here.

    AJ probably wins a decision over the 95 Holmes.

    95 Holmes? When was Larry last relevant at all? '92?

    When did he beat Mercer? When was the McCall fight?
