Holmes Induction

[killersheep]

Glad to see someone that so rightfully deserves to be there get in.

Holmes was such an important figure in the history of the HW division and often gets overlooked nowadays.

I always liked Holmes as a fighter.

But he came across poorly in a recent interview with Boxing Monthly.

Patter?
I assume you mean that in the context of speech? If so it was a magazine interview.

However, he spoke at length about many of the champions he faced and in my mind disresoected them all except Ali.

I know he seemed to be obsessed about fighting Foreman but I wasnt aware that he had such a low opinion of other past champions.
Anyone in particular he targetted?

He said Holyfield was "nothing special" put that fight down to his own lack of preparation.
Earnie Shavers "hit hard but couldn't hurt me if he tried"
Mike Weaver was "ordinary"

Ken Norton really got it!

Of Ali he said "I learned more from the three years I sparred him than from anyone else in my career."

Actually, I'll quote the mag tomorrow in a post.

CHeers for that. On the champions forever video he seemed like he was on good terms with all of them.
