Yes, I called her Holmes. Since this thread will be about boxing references, it is fitting to call her the stepchild of the great Larry.
Both Holyfield and Douglas beat Tyson but only one is regarded as an All Time Great today. If Holly loses this fight, she might be Buster Douglas which would turn Miesha into Holyfield (The boxing guys among you will understand that analogy...).
Or will Ronda turn out to never have been Tysonesque. Meaning if she never came back and never reached those heights again, she might be a Donald Curry - once regarded as the best P4P boxer but later only still remembered among boxing historians and hardcore fans after Mister Lloyd Honeyghan beat him. That would make Holly Mrs Honeyghan if she loses to Miesha and does nothing else in her career (Honeyghan is also forgotten in the mainstream today). But if Ronda was Curry and Holly beats Miesha, she might be a Mike McCallum of WMMA, since McCallum also knocked out Curry but went down in history as one of the most feared and avoided Hall of Famers of all time. Lots of confusion here but only for people who don't know their boxing.
