I don't know about you, but I read plenty of quotes from Holmes to get me to the conclusion that he is a racist, bigoted, bitter man. I suppose you don't remember his stupid comments about how Rocky Marciano wasn't even fit to carry his jock... but I suppose that was hype too, huh. Also, Holmes would rant endlessly (and quoted in the major sports magazines) about how he never got his due because he was black. Give me a FOOKING BREAK!!! All he did was whine about this, whine about that. And don't compare Holmes' mouth to Ali's. Ali was about hype. Holmes was dead serious.
No, he did not just whine, he fought too, quite well I might add. Also Ali's BS was cruel and hurtful. Joe Louis and Joe Fraizer never forgave him for the way he belittled them. On the contrary Cooney and Holmes are now friends despite all the smack talking from Holmes.
