Larry Holmes NEVER fought...

[Spicoli]

Witherspoon scooped up his belt Larry dropped after Holmes couldn't agree to terms with Page but definitely a rematch that needed to happen. Wasn't King a major factor in it not happening too? Imagine that. Holmes and Coetzee was made a couple of times and fell apart and Page beat him a month after their last proposed date in 84. Hey all is not lost though Holmes and Witherspoon shared a ppv geezer card where Tim lost his rematch to Page and Holmes milked every ounce of his name to rematch Bonecrusher Smith. On ppv, believe that?

I'm just mad Holmes didn't rematch Tex Cobb

I scored their first fight for Tex

Holmes is a racist. He said there would never be another white heavyweight champion because blacks are superior, and he disparaged Rocky Marciano.

Holmes would have been schooled by prime Ali, and destroyed by prime Foreman and by prime Klitschko (either one). The division was weak when he had his run. I loved it when Mike Tyson knocked him out.

Butterbean was robbed in his fight with Larry Holmes.

He did infamously say that Rocky Marciano couldn't carry his jockstrap. And..... he was always whining about how he didn't get his just due (a lie) because he was black. Could never stand the whining bum.

Might be giving Wlad a bit too much credit

But yeah I've never liked Larry just because he shittalked Marciano

But it's real fitting that he went from 48-0 to 48-3 lmao

Then went on to school and beat an undefeated Olympic gold medallist (who had just recently smashed Tommy Morrison) to show what a truly great fighter he was in the heavyweight history of boxing.

[TitoFan]

Truly great.... yes.

But man..... did I enjoy this.

[Master]

I did not see the Spinks fights but I heard he should have got the decision and that is a shame if he was denied equally and beating the record because of what he said.

[SlimTrae]

Truly great.... yes.

What makes this great for me, is how the old man kept getting up! LOL! Berbick chicken danced. Spinks tried to crawl up, Bruno II just collapsed the against the ropes. Had Cortez not ended it, who's to say Holmes wouldn't have gotten up again?

Oh, he was done, but what a set of whiskers & will.
