    Point of clarification gents.....who was Larry Holmes' rival? People go on and on about how a great fighter needs a rival, well who was Larry's biggest rival? Same question for Mike Tyson while we are at it.

    "dipshit cunt tit" That's one I haven't heard before! It works, it works!
    I find it hard to criticize a heavyweight champion who defended the title as many times as Holmes.

    Tyson would have done the same shit to a post-1971 Ali IMO.

    I take no joy in Muhammad Ali's illness.

    But it was Muhammad's grasp for the spot-light that did him in. He couldn't walk away.

    He thrived in Boxing, and Boxing is what did him in.

    Larry Holmes >

    "Muhammad thinks this is some kind of game, and a theatrical event. Well I'm no Japanese
    Wrestler {Antonio Inoki} that is going to kick at his calves and ankles."

    "I'm Larry Holmes, and I'm going to kick is ass."

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