    Not to mention Grant was undefeated going into the Lewis title fight. Didn't work out too well for him though.

      You know nothing of my history with Fury before he sunk into the blubber of his flubber. He's become the new Lar not really believing in himself, hence his duckings like Lar.

      Tubby Lar like Flubber make can't miss targets, so all the blame is on them. Could throw darts all night with a 100% accuracy rate.
      Ducking who, AJ? Give it a rest already. Joshua isn't at the level of Fury, Wilder or Usyk. And I've already proven time and again Holmes didn't duck anyone. You really are a hoot though!!

        Why wasn't Larry concerned with being more than a single title holder? Or, maybe I got that wrong and at some point he was at least unified, but I am sure most of his career he just had one title. Seems weird for a guy who wasn't ducking. Not saying he was ducking, I have no name to offer than he avoided, just seems odd.

          He should have been knocked out by Golota, but that big stiff quit like a dog

            - - Just say the WBA, and that covers a half dozen champs he ducked.

            Poor jabby still stuck in his grade school pre pimple days.

              No WBA champion could hold the title long enough to unify it. 7 champions with 3 title defenses in 7 years? Come on now. I'd have to look into who the WBC champions were, but I don't recall to many fighters knocking on Larry's door either.

              Also, if I'm not mistaken....Don King had most of the ABC titlists and kept them apart. I could certainly be wrong about this though.

                Holmes was the champion and he ducked no one.

                We the fans decide who is actually champion, just as we today say it's Fury regardless of how many belts the Ukrainian might hold, Holmes was the HW Champion of the early 1980s.

                I can't think of a single fight we the fans were calling for that he didn't deliver. In fact the only fight I can remember us calling for was the Great White Hype Cooney, and Holmes made good on that.

                Scantioning belt titles were all secondary titles. Holmes was the recognized champion fan wise and the others had to come to him, and as far as I can remember or today deduce, they didn't.

                  - - Pretty much like you mistaken on most everything in dispute. The best was fighting each other, and the best were very evenly matched and knocking each other off, and that very much describes the WBA.

                  The Gerrie Coetzee in South Africa that Big John Tate ended up outpointing the most blatant duck by the WBC title holder of his career purse to fight lessers for less $$$ until flubber comes along.

                  0-6, 0 KO against any champion having won his belt in the ring puts Lar in the rare company of ONE than the hapless mentally disturbed flubber who at least beat one belt holder holding a title won in the ring even if it took him two tries.

                    Same old rubbish, with still nothing to back it up. Let's not forget Holmes did sign to fight Coetzee. Not his fault the fight fell thru. You never knew that until I educated you about it. That why you stick with the same narrative even though you are wrong and you know it. Keep trolling though. Very amusing!

                      - - Signed after Gerrie no longer relevant enough to command a big SAfrican promotion and flimsy Vegas ain't gonna promote another white hope bout against a boycotted hope.

                      No different than coked up flubber demanding short notice fights with AJ and Usyk who are top professionals not needing a mob nutcase quitting another fight where he spit his dummy again.

                      OK, you like fake Macho Men, we get it, so just roll with it, sign up with flubber twitter account, and leave the rest of us out it.
