Larry Holmes- Championship run needs revisiting?

Larry Holmes

"I remember during my fight against Ali. I could tell Ali wasn't in very good shape and should have never gone into the ring with me. I didn't want to keep hitting him.... but there was this very distracting, nerdy fan at ringside who kept yelling at me to keep hitting Ali.... to inflict brain damage. It was all very disturbing. He was a pasty white guy with thick glasses and a pocket protector. Once I glanced at him and he was practically frothing at the mouth."

"In between rounds he actually went over to my corner and muttered something about Ali having stolen his girlfriend and put her on all fours... making her moan like a bitch in heat. That's when it dawned on me that... hey... this guy must really hate Ali. Don't know what his name was... but some guys nearby were shouting at him something like: Billy.... sit the fuck down!! So I went back out there and continued beating on Ali. Not something I wanted to do... but this Billy dude kept egging me on."

~Larry 'Holmes'~ on his stool right before Ali 's corner threw in the towel:

"I can hear Howard Cosell from hear, Richie. You know Eddie Futch told me how George Foreman manhandled Frazier down in "Kingston", Jamaica in '73, well Eddie told me I would do it here too, and I have manhandled his lil' ass better than Veronica Porsche could ever do!"

Passing of the torch. Great fighters who fade still cant be knocked the fuck out. Shows how bad Ali really was & How bad Holmes would become.

When Holmes became the old dog. Tyson was the only one to paste his ass: passing of the torch.

Should we say Holmes isn't great because he couldnt knock out an old faded Ali? I don't think so.

Witherspoon got a 10 year vet in Holmes- & thats not inlcuding the years Larry didnt have a belt.-And that yoing boy threw the sink @ Holmes. Does that make Witherspoon a pretender not contender? Because he couldnt stop Holmes? Or does it show how bad Holmes really was? Just like Ali, Holmes was a warrior. Nobody could knock out Ali. And only Tyson could knock out Holmes. No way does Holmes career need revisiting.

agreeeeeeed. Larry was the SHIT. I only rank Louis and Ali a bit higher.

"I hear that Ali is saying that he over-medicated himself on Diet Pills. Now he is blaming the loss on that.
The guy never ceases to amaze me. It's the Pills that lost, and not him."

'He will never give anybody credit. Joe Frazier is right, Muhammad Ali is pure filth."

[brocktonblockbust]

Larry Holmes

"Muhammad Ali tortured Earnie Terrell. Then he mentally tortured Joe Frazier. They were supposed to be black brothers during a time when blacks were experiencing terrible bigotry. Instead he tried to tear down Joe Frazier's self-esteem and never apologized sincerely, only mockingly. So when somebody wants to tear down and mock Ali, it should be fair game. Chuck Wepner knocked his ass down, and never gets credit."

Holmes got it bad on an ESPN show- It was Angelo Dundee, Bert Sugar & a few others; they all pissed off Holmes when they talked about that.-whatever it was that made him look in so-so shape-.

Actually that's old news.

Muhammad Ali

"Yeah... I banged Bill Paxtom's girlfriend once. Had her howling like a wolf baying at the moon. She told me she'd never had a real man before... I guess that includes ol' Bill. Damn, I hope he doesn't take it personally. I actually did him a favor, breaking her in for him."

"Larry gave Muhammad Ali the worst beating ever seen in a Boxing Ring. Was it deserved,
probably."

"You see, my Husband in the best, and will never be 2nd to Muhammad Ali. Ever."

We tell Larry's wife Holmes is not even 2nd on the heavyweight greatest list. He is lucky to get 3rd.

He thinks he is the best. Larry may get 5th. lol... But everyone knows, if not by now, if prime for prime, Ali comes first, Tyson second, Louis third (a close third) and Lewis a strong fourth. Larry can get a nod over Evander, Riddick, Schmelling, Marciano and the other guys.

Either way you're talking about a top 5 HW of all time, no small feat.

"I knew that Muhammad was gone after our bout. At the end of the bout I walked
over to his corner to talk to him."

"He just looked at me with his bloodshot eyes and bruised face, and said > "Who are you".

"I knew he was gone."

[TitoFan]

Do you jerk off to that cover, Bill?
Do ya?
