    There are no false facts and you larry lapdogs can say what you want and the sarcasm is misplaced. Not only is he one of the most overrated boxers in history he is also one of the dumbest.

    Dumb, but not overrated. Spinks got kilt by Tyson, Holmes lasted at least a few good rounds.

    I don't know who else in here has seen old Bugs Bunny cartoons..... but Larry Holmes reminds me of Daffy Duck, who used to follow Bugs' act with his own song and dance, and get nothing but crickets chirping in the background. In this case Holmes was Daffy to Ali's Bugs. He never got over the fact that people idolized Ali and not him. He always came across as bitter, racist, and disrespectful to other boxing greats.

    My wish came true when he got into the ring with a young Mike Tyson.

    You have to admit he took Tyson's bombs and still tried. Remember his hand getting caught up in the ropes for the last knock-out? That was brutal, showed to me he had an amazing chin and recuperative powers. Can't think of many fighters that have taken that many blows from Tyson and still get up.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    There's no doubting his chin. In fact... I was glad to see him continue trying as he was getting bombed by Tyson. I wouldn't have wanted the punishment to end that quickly.
