And at heavy, whatever you think about the Holmes fights, especially the second, he did pretty damn well. Couldn't really match up with Tyson and psyched himself out.
Been watching more of him lately, mythical matchups with him and Roy, Bob Foster, etc, at LH are pretty interesting.
Considering I've been out with friends my spelling here has been impeccable.
It is a shame that he will mostly be remembered for his 90 seconds with Tyson, I wonder how he would have done at cruiserweight. I mean no doubt the money was at heavyweight when he moved up, but he could of had a whole different legacy.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
