I was watching boxing when it was on commercial television two to four times a week just to get that out of the way. Larry Holmes was in Ali's shadow so he was grossly underrated. One more thing, I am not in any way a Holmes fan but he won and usually with no doubt. He was never caught napping when he was champ. He did lose to Micheal Spinks but Holmes was no longer a young man. Lennox has been out hustled even in his prime and lost his title to an emotionall unstable man in one instance and a lucky one in the second instance because he lacked conentration and Rahman was a lucky bastard. Holmes was hard to hit and you could find Lennox. Sometimes you'd have to wonder which Lennox was showing up but nonetheless he kept winning and evry so often he was baited into ugly situations but Larry made you ugly. Get the picture? Holmes-Tyson? Larry was looking for his pipe and slippers, the show was over andf the same can be said for Iron Mike being a rusty pipe bent by Lennox the plumber, it was all over.
