Larry Holmes vs. Ray Mercer- TEXTBOOK!

That's the first Larry Holmes fight I ever saw because it happened when I just got into boxing. 53 year old Holmes outboxing a toughman fighter.

It was a gross mismatch now that you look back at it.

I guess any Butterbean fight is gross, what a fat man, I can't believe he went 12 rounds even if it was in his plodding, inactive style.

I don't think he ever went 12 rounds. This Holmes fight was his longest at 10 rounds.

Even 10 rounds is amazing. I think every other fight had been 4 rounders and those hardly ever went the distance anyway.

I wonder if he was the heaviest man to ever go 10 rounds, he outweighed even Valuev.
