‘They Have No Skills’: Boxing Legend Larry Holmes Berates Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder

The heavyweight division is predominantly the best and the most competitive roster of the modern era. The entire credit to make this division so much alluring goes to some prime biggies like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder. This trio, until now, has displayed fiery performances, thus keeping the fans at the edge of their seats.

However, boxing legend, Larry Holmes, isn’t quite impressed with this pristine trio and its skills.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Holmes said, “They don’t have no skills. No, they can’t. Listen, you got to punch here, no guys punch, they throw punches like this, for a jab. You don’t throw punch straight, bang, bang, with the jab, you got to have that out there like that.”

“And you guess what? You can’t hit me with that right hand because this hand protect me. They don’t know how to throw the one-two, bang, bang, and get out and move out, protect yourself.”

Among the three boxers, Joshua and Wilder rely heavily on their power. However, fury is the one who brings something different to the table. That said, the Briton comes in with packed movements, swift flow, hand speed, and so much more.
