    Put me down in the "hate" column. His boxing skills notwithstanding, I never saw such a whining, complaining, arrogant, and disrespectful boxer as Larry in those times. His quote about Marciano was totally classless, and his constant whining about racism in boxing (he was about as racist as they come) made me dislike him intensely. Good businessman or not, generous with his hometown or not, Larry's one guy I've NEVER liked. I was glad when Tyson KTFO'ed him.

    You mean having the President on the US putting in a hot line to your white opponent,and not putting one in to your locker isnt racist?

    Maybe the President didn't like Holmes either.

    You can't compare heavyweights of different eras because of the weight differences. The average heavyweight weighed less in previous eras. Marciano can't even be considered a heavyweight nowadays.

    Larry Holmes may well be the greatest heavyweight of all time, but we will never know because he, like most other of the great heavyweights in history, dominated a relatively weak era, that is to say that the heavyweight division seldom produces great fighters within the same period. As for Klitchko, put him in just about any era through history except for the current one and he would not be number 1 imo
