    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.

    Muhammad And Larry - Download

    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.

    Yes I agree I guess that's what you call a loyal friend standing there watching your friend for years train for a fight he was not up to.

    I was wondering could this Ali beat the Fraiser of that time?

    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.

    Then that's Holmes fault. He shouldn't have started his pro career so late as in 1973 and was still fighting bums until 1978. By that time Ali and Frazier were both shot fighters and Foreman was already retired the 1st time and Shavers and Norton were seriously on the decline along with very good contenders like Chuvalo and Quarry either retired or were done. Holmes is the same age as Foreman both born in 1949 but yet Foreman started his career in the 1960s and fought every top HW out there in the 70s.

    And let's be honest now, while Holmes is a very good champ he wouldn't have come out of that HW era unscathed and undefeated if he started his career the same time as Foreman and fought the same opposition as he did. If Holmes wants to be bitter then maybe he should look at himself first instead of talking bad about other fighters like Foreman, ALi, Tyson, Holyfield, Marciano. For it was he that started his career at 24 and still fought bums until the age of 29 in the late 70s. Maybe that's why he's not so remembered.
