I was on about Tyson. People actually thought he had a chance against Tyson. Biggest fight in history at the time.

Wait.... Rahman was a top rated American HW before he fought Lewis. He was overlooked and undervalued.

With Wlad, Ross Purity you can give him heaps of shit for. But Sanders and Brewster really weren't shit opponents.

Holmes had two: Spinks and Weaver. He beat Weaver twice and lost to Spinks twice.

Holmes is a great boxer and proved it more so by beating young guys in the generation after him.

But Eddie Murphy does have a point. I got to hear that skit again!

Larry Holmes

"I didn't want to do it. But, I had to put an end to Muhammad Ali. Yes, I'm the man
that closed the book."

"Now, you will find Muhammad on the discount shelf in the Book Store, along the back wall."

Something to be proud of, eh?

Remember,

The way Cassius Clay treated Floyd Patterson.

Pay Back Is A Bitch-Slap.

Don't worry Bill, You'll get over it in a few more decades.

Never, it was a beautiful thing to watch.

That's not what I'm saying, but I guess in cloud cuckoo land you view things how you want to.

I know exactly of what you were saying.

It's typical for a Cassius Clay 'Brown-Noser'.

No Bill.

It's typical for a sensible human being who does not enjoy the spectacle of seeing a fighter in a boxing ring who really has no business being there.... and being on the receiving end of physical punishment which eventually has terrible consequences on that person's health.

Nothing you say can justify the crass lack of sensitivity you've shown.
