Fun Fact
Watching Tyson knock out Holmes?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Tyson would have done the same shit to a post-1971 Ali IMO.

"I never thought that I'd see the day that Muhammad Ali would 'quit' on his stool. He's got
some Dog in him like everybody else."
"At least Floyd Patterson went down on his shield. Muhammad hid behind Angelo Dundee
and Bundini Brown. I lost respect for him for doing that."

Yet another bullshit quote. Just trying to stoke the fire, eh Billy?
Larry Holmes between Round 8 and 9 of the Ali fight: "don't give me any water, Richie. I want to take this clown out to the Deep Blue Sea and drown him. Look at his stupid moustache."
