  1. Larry, you’re ugly and selfish, all this you’re saying is blah blah blah blah because everyone hated you for what did you do to someone couldn’t defend himself somehow and you understand him very well he was so proud to quit. You already won the match you didn’t need to kill or destroy him so shut up everyone knows what selfish and bastard you are.

  2. Larry never got the respect he deserved because of being in Ali’s shadow. I remember when he was approaching Marciano’s consecutive victory record, Marciano’s family vocally came out AGAINST Holmes and actively rooted for him to fail. Terrible sportsmanship and something that would have made the Rock, who was a consummate sportsman, turn over in his grave. (And more than a little racism was involved). In response Larry said some things he probably shouldn’t have said, but his frustration was completely understandable. He was an all time great champion and belongs up there with the best of them. (And still had the best left jab I ever saw)

  3. This is natural train carriage that continue, lorry homes beat ali, Mike Tyson beat Larry, Douglas beat Mike, Lennox lewis beat Douglas, Rahman beat Lennox. This is nature, when power comes down another one occupied. But interesting history wright by world

  4. I would put a prime larry Holmes..against sny heavyweight..in the history of boxing. Plain n simple. What a great fighter. HOLMES WAS..PURE GREATNESS. N EVEN.TO GET RIGHT BACK OFF THE CANVAS. AFTER GETTING HIS GEAD..ALMOST KNOCKED OFF. V.S. ERNIE. SHAVERS..HARDEST PUNCHER..HISTORY OF THE HEAVYWEIGHTS. SHAVERS..HARDEST

  5. Anyone that knows boxing could see that Larry Holmes was pulling his punches ALL NIGHT.

  6. Ali
    Gave him the fight .
    After he over heard them say if Holmes lost. They was going to kill his family.
    If Ali would of won
    It would of been a tragedy. 😮

  7. Holmes had a great jab, right, left hook, uppercut, stamina, smart and could take a punch! I’m 64 and Larry Holmes was untouchable for 8 years. My favorite fighter

  8. Such an underrated Champ. People who ride Tysons nuts saying how he "avenged" Ali are idiots. Tyson wouldve fought Ali had he been in Holmes shoes and you know it. Nobody put a gun to Alis head and made him fight. He knew he was sick and nobody can tell me any different.

  9. Misunderstood guy. Great boxer but like Liston never was loved by the masses. Almost tears up talking about Ali

  10. Excuses! from the start you know already Ali has Parkinson’s disease but you are always hitting his head, the Committees ref and doctor and the whole and Holmes will pay all of it you can kill sick and no senses person

  11. Love you Larry. You and Ali have more in common than a good jab and a dance. You both have big hearts..šŸ™

  12. Larry you can say anything you want , but you hit ALI with everything you had and went total beast on him . Your not great not even close you’re more of a crybaby then anything else. Boxing fans never liked you before ALI . All you do is complain.šŸ‘ŽšŸæ

  13. Now that I saw this, I feel bad for Holmes. He has to live with the fact he almost killed a legend, and the ref didn’t stop the fight and just shut him up.

  14. Disgusting how the damn referee kept the fight going when it was obvious that Ali couldn't even defend himself!!!

  15. Imagine having to live with watching Ali deteriorate wirh Parkinson's disease, i know it wasn't all due to the Larry Holmes fight, the love of money truly is root all evil.

  16. I wonder… but it took the inevitable… then the Mancini- Kim fight happened in the early 80s & changed some instantaneously & some in later years

  17. Ali was sick and his last fight you just had to box to the end to win but you were trying kill him you got a lot haters after that no respect

  18. Ali’s fight Doctor Ferdie Pacheco told the Champ to retire after his fight in’76 with Ernie Shavers,(said to be the hardest puncher of that era). Unfortunately Ali didn’t take his Doctors advice, who then quit in’77 stating in later years that he could not watch his friend damage his already weakened self. Some say that Ali showed signs of sluggish movement and slurred speech after the ā€œThrilla in Manilaā€ fight. He fought for 5 years having the signs of Parkinson’s, and nobody wanted to be the one to say NO To the Champ. Maybe the Champ knew and didn’t know how to walk away from being The Greatest.

  19. No win situation = if you beat the old man, you ain't beat but a OLD MAN .
    NOW if the OLD MAN beats you may as well shoot yerself.šŸ„ŠšŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ„Š
