....being able to take punches while leaning back all the way to India, hold behind the head, and flurrying from time to time doesn't (to me) constitute his best performance. It was a HUGE win but huge performance....no way! The wins over Liston, Williams, and Frazier in the rematch and the 'Thrilla' were better IMO.
Larry Holmes is also a victim of not having any great rivals
It was a huge win and performance, to say otherwise is just strange.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
