Larry Holmes vs WBA champs

[Anthony342]

He ropes people in with is trolling skills though, gotta give him some credit for that. Not a whole lot, but a little bit. Poor people want to talk boxing, share a perspective or two, and people like that start fishing for a dance partner, dammed if he doesn't land one. Most troll types are lazy, but not that one. He's dogged. He earns his little rush.

To clear up the subterfuge of his last point, like it was also with Tyson, Lewis and Klitschko later down the road, collecting up THE world title was a multi step process for Larry Holmes as well. Holmes claim came from lifting one of the two (at the time) alphabet belts off of Norton, the top heavyweight at that time, then be beating Ali and Leon Spinks, the last two champions, and finally by amasing title defenses against Weaver, Withersoon, Smith: the best of the counter-champions, in addidion to a long parade if the highest ranking contenders available, as the counter champs kept losing that slippery WBA belt, often to a guy who Homes had already beaten. Between 1978 and 1985, Holmes was one of history's most dominant champions. Try as they might, Los Banditos were never successful in convoluting the lineage of the oldest, richest and most globally acknowledged title in all of sport. Thank goodness. The flagship championship of the only historically significant international pro sport that is neither a stunt or a game. The only one.

Yes it was. But Holmes did it and continued to dominate. But this hater bag a douche doesn't wanna gives Holmes the credit he deserves either because he's a moron or a troll. Either way he is, what they used to call in my neighborhood a "bag a douche."

The point is you have a choice and don't have to be roped in. It's like the ending to the movie War Games where the computer eventually learns its lesson "The only winning move is not to play."

Holmes is in the top half of the top half of the heavies. So in the top quarter. You know this because Queensbree says otherwise. Queen is the best litmus test we have, used as a reverse barometer, of course.

Not anymore. Most people call him out on his BS, make fun of him or just put him on ignore as I have done a long time ago.

[just the facts]

- - Only title win in the multibelt era Lar created was the Administrative title of Ken Norton, and that by a single point Split Decision representing a fractional % point of all the points awarded in the fight...you're welcome.

Lol, whatever you say!!! To bad no one agrees with you and history says different. If I'm wrong, prove it. When should he have fought these guys?

- - History may have U in pink speedos playing pool in between posing for your pictorial record.

Aw, heck, apologies for beating Lar to a pulp, so lets give him Administrative Champ Norton as a legit title win, and so what's his title record against title holders now?

BRACE USELF

1-6, 0 KO...only in boxing!!!, folks

Holmes wouldn't fight Coetzee in South Africa because of apartheid. He did sign to fight in the US but the fight fell through due to no fault of his own. He also fought more than half these men before or after they held the WBA trinket. Can't blame Holmes they couldn't hold on to their title long enough to ever make a fight with him.

That's correct. Of all the WBA (and later WBA, WBC) pretenders that missed receiving their official Larry Holmes beating, Coetzee came the closest to getting one. Mainly he lost his shot at the real title by getting KOd by Page, who had blown his own shot by getting pounded by Berbick (who got the shot and lost). Remember also that it was Coetzee's KO of Dokes that deprived Dokes of an opportunity. Getting beat before Holmes could sqeeze those WBA pretenders in between other (Just as good or better) contenders played to main role in preventing Holmes from picking up the floating belt from Tate, Weaver, Dokes, Coetzee, Page, Witherspoon, Tubbs, etc.
