The man was literally sandwiched between two absolute dynamos era wise. But he faced a pretty decent run of tough talent and a half dozen Wal Mart shelf stockers, seem to recall even Renaldo Snipes giving him a helluva fight but may be off.
Larry beat up on one half of that sandwich... old, stale bread.
Then, in beautiful justice... he got slaughtered by the other half. (A battering I could watch over and over again).

Even the beating he took from Tyson, being knocked down 3 times, showed how great his chin and recuperative powers were. Those were truly brutal punches he took from a prime Mike Tyson.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
