    Its never black and white (no pun intended) with Holmes. He seems to have that Jake Lamotta-like "I'm going to do what I want, when I want, everyone else be damned" kind of attitude.

    Great fighter though... #2 HW of all time IMO

    I'll buy that.

    Well the plot thickens now...

    I was just told that Larry was infact told to leave the premises...

    The updated story I posted is somewhat accurate.

    Apparently Cliff (who used to be Larrys cornerman) had some tables set up and was selling some Larry stuff to which Larry wanted a cut from.

    Then sometime there Larry was selling his book and with the book he'd sign it and for $25 more dlls. you could get another item.

    So it's a bit shady because according to IBHF rules boxers are NOT allowed to sell autographs on Hall of Fame turf. So he was selling his book but at the same time he was signing stuff. So he was selling the autograph in some ways...

    He then was told to leave the premises but he returned to the ceremony.

    So which version do you like the most?

    PS. Keep posted I'm sure I'll be back with something else.

    I wanna hear what Larry and the IBHOF bigwigs have to say about this incident. Sooner or later both sides are bound to come out with differing perspectives.

    For what it's worth, I have hundreds of IBHOF induction autographs and have not paid for a single one.

    As Mick Mentioned Holmes had some pretty good lines and went all Tony Robbins........

    "When I said Rocky Marciano couldn't carry my jock strap,thats because he wouldn't want to.I Didn't say that to tear him down,I said it because I felt good about myself.No man is better than any other man,Muhammad Ali thinks he's The greatest...Thats his opinion.."quoted from Article at fightnews.

    He reportedly told the young people to not think that the world owes them anything but that they owe the world something..... Class Larry

    When told in that perspective it is classy but the way he originally said it was tasteless.
