And used to think L Holmes was a jerk BEFORE this week

I don't like Holmes' quote about Marciano...I can kind of understand it though. You see athletes rip the all-time greats every now and then because they know if they are on their best behavior they still might catch shit for it or get rated lower than previous athletes. Guys like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods didn't seem to struggle with their greatness. They are great without having to brag AND while showing respect and IMO that enhances their greatness. But back to Holmes, he may have had similar trouble as Hank Aaron did while trying to break Ruth's lifetime homerun record.


As for Holmes' comments about Ali, I 100% agree....but of course it'll be chalked up to me not liking Ali, but so fucking what, I don't like him but maybe I view his accomplishments in a more clear rational and reasonable manner because I don't like him.

Also on another note NOBODY (at heavyweight at least) will break Joe Louis' title defense mark
