Larry Holmes Quotes

[Trainer Monkey]

No,maybe,and no
None of them had Holmes jab or ability to move

Trainer whilst you believe whatever you want you must accept that Renaldo Snipes and Tim Witherspoon took it to Holmes and damn near beat him and of course Holmes did show he was resiliant vs Shavers but Earnie was a TEENY TINY heavyweight and if he could sit Holmes down like he did then Larry would be in DEEP shit vs the likes of Bowe, Lewis, and Wlad no matter what you might think about them.

Larry could jab like a mofo but Bowe worked on the inside and moved VERY well, Lewis had crazy power and was very athletic, Wlad is more athletic than people want to admit he's robotic because he sits on his punches but he's very accurate and doesn't risk much.

Larry won fights by controlling distance with the jab and controlling the pace vs the bigger stronger fighters of more recent times he would have trouble.

Did you miss Riddick Bowe getting outjabbed and outslicked by an old past his prime Tony Tubbs ? he gave Riddick Bowe a boxing lesson and Riddick Bowe was in his prime.......

Even Tyrell Biggs badly outjabbed Riddick Bowe and even had him badly stunned in the 3rd round and also look how he struggled with Evander Holyfield's outside fighting in there 2nd fight........

Or see how a man who was similar size to him Andrew Golota destroyed Riddick Bowe's jab even Riddick Bowe said it totally threw him off his game.........

Riddick Bowe always struggled with fighters who fought on the outside or fighters who had good jabs i think you need to watch the Tony Tubbs fight and see how a fat past his prime Tony Tubbs totally outboxed Riddick Bowe and should of won the decision quite easily but was robbed........

Alot of people actually have never seen Riddick Bowe's fights with Tyrell Biggs and Tony Tubbs but trust me when you see them your have a different opinion on Riddick Bowe a prime Larry Holmes who totally slaughtered Earnie Shavers in there 1st meeting would have gave Riddick Bowe a boxing lesson.

The other thing
Spoon was a GREAT fighter in the wrong era,and for some reason Snipes is grossly underrated,he had some serious chops in his prime. If you really want the full measure of Holmes,watch him figure out where his baby makers are against Cooney,and turn around and whup him
