Larry Holmes #3 ATG HW.

Absolute bullshit!

The fight was being organised at least as early as when Tyson fought Biggs 3 months prior to the Holmes fight. Holmes talks shit because he cannot give any credit to Tyson. He knows he faired better Holyfield, Mercer and McCall and that Mike dealt with him easy and giving Mike any credit is almost as good as saying Mike could beat any Holmes.

Watch this interview with Holmes ringside after the Biggs fight.

Well, that vid gave the verdict.
Anyone ever read Holmes' book "Against the Odds"? He wrote that in the dressing room that night- he felt like cancelling- Something he never felt before.
