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 found two links to it here, it took me a while to download it though. I thought Ali and Holmes both came out of the documentary looking like good people. Neither of them deserved to go through what they did.
The guy who said "because Ali's a Muslim he has a body of a 28 year old". I wanted to punch in the face the blood sucking leech! poor Ali had the body and reflexes of more like a 48 or 58 year old man by that point.

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.

Hasn't Holmes always been bitter about Foreman because Foreman wouldn't get in the ring with him? To an extent I think that is understandable. I think Holmes was a very good champion in his own right, but he definitely has a bit of a chip on his shoulder about not getting the same kind of recognition that other fighters of the 70's recieved. He was right inbetween that golden period and the advent of Tyson.
