Originally posted by Yogi View PostI used to hate Holmes when he first won his title and after a few defenses, but that kind of faded for me over time where I'm at the point now where I simply appreciate & respect him as the great fighter he was during his time (still don't like him much as a person, though, from what I know/known...Or maybe I'm kind of nuetral. *shrugs*).
Although Butterfly must think I'm a big fan of Holmes' for some reason, as he has sent me some PMs in the past all because he started a Holmes thread and he wanted me to check it out.

Larry's demolition of Marvis Frazier, Cooney, Spinks (leon), and Mercer were all impressive. He showed mercy on Ali. He fought a war with Norton, and he contiuned beating good fighters in the 90's. In 1995 he lost by 1 point on 2 of the scorecards for the WBC title against Olivar McCall. He cut Holyfield in their fight, and he continued fighting and winning until he was 52 years old.

Ducked Joe for Marvis is impressive?
KOing Leon in 3 when Coetzee did it in 1 long before is impressive?
Cooney out scoring him him through the first 10 rds and then slowly melting in fatigue over a distance he'd never ever been close to is impressive?
Mercer almost choking him to death with one arm and then clowning him with beech slaps the whole of the Fight is impressive?
Cutting Field with an elbow is impressive?
Getting mocked and knocked down by a 4rd, 320 lb Butterbean is impressive?
0-6 title record against standing Champs holding a title won in the Ring is impressive?
Luv me some Lar!
