Most of Ali's camp were leeching off him too, do not buy into the fact they were looking after him. Angelo could have done more and pulled Ali out earlier.

It was on ESPN classic recorded it but not had the chance to watch it until now.

It was like a boxing 24/7 but the film maker said none of the companies wanted to show it.

Classic or 1 same thing.

You are right Larry did come across as a good person. did not rubbish Ali and did not realise but he was crying after he beat him in the dressing room.

I'll look out for this. Only thing is, though i respect he was a great fighter, every time i've come across Larry Holmes he always seemed to come across as a bit of a tit. I once saw him being interviewed and when he was asked about Ali he just wanted to talk about how much better he was and how he would have beaten Ali at any point.

I will definitely look out for this though, hopefully it can change my view on this great champion.

Holmes is very bitter. He also downplay and tried to diminish George Forman's accomplishments in the sport.

It's funny you mentioned it, because I remember I saw this video yesterday and Holmes is talking bad about Foreman's accomplishment. He's basically downplaying Foreman being the oldest HW champ.
