    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.
    At one point I think he had all of them... or 3 of the four... Ruiz, Brewster and Byrd.

      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.
      Flimsy Vegas? You mean the boxing capital of the world? And why would Holmes go to a country that was persecuting people of color? And by the way, Coetzee was the Rings number one contender when the fight was put together and then canceled. Something you either didn't know (not surprising) or lied about when you said he was no longer relevant (also not surprising from you).

        - - Spare us your greasy equivocations. Been done to death.

        Boxing in SA never drew the color line in the form of Corrie Sanders, Brian Mitchell, and Gerrie just to name a few top flight fighters. Big John Tate knew that to take advantage of Lar innate yellow streak to take the title back to America padded magnificently by his record purse.

        You'd have the rest of the world boycotting the US because of what they did in Vietnam for starters.

          But South Africa as a nation did draw the color line and worse. That is what Holmes was boycotting. So because Tate had no other options and went over that means Holmes had to? Your thinking is convoluted and ridiculous. Holmes ducked no one and you know this. You just didn't like his personality (neither did I at the time) and try to disparage him because of it.

          Ps-i notice you didn't want to comment again on Coetzee's relevance. Glad I could teach you something again.

              - - But Vietnam was a country we tried to carpet bomb back the stoneage while clearing their rainforests and poisoning their people with Agent Orange, a herbicide conceived deep in the bowels in the unholy Monsanto think tanks.

                What does that have to do with Holmes not wanting to fight in aparthied South Africa? It's adorable the way you try to change the direction of the conversation. Ps - I notice you didn't want to comment again on Coetee's relevance.

                  - - Boxing had no reason much less Tubby Lar who was still skinny the with the peanut IQ boycotting boxers who were never the political leaders of S Africa.

                  It's expected that Peanut IQs are always gonna gravite to fellow peanuts, thus U flimsy defense of Lar 0-6, 0 KO title record against fighters holding titles won in the ring while boycotting Coetzee.

                    Him protesting by not going over wasnt about boxers from South Africa, but a racist government and its treatment of black citizens. Your ******ity is astounding. I suppose Ali was ducking Wilt by protesting Vietnam, right?

                      - - Ali right or wrong was something of an immature political and religious activist. Lar just soggy milquetoast under hot lights.

                      US Olympic Medalist Big John Tate with infinitely more Olympic credentials than Lar went over to fight Coetzee in SA because he knew he'd get a square deal along with a career payday.

                      Boxing as a sport had zero to do with SA politics, but keep on thinking you always the good guy and everyone else always the bad guy that you share wif Lar.
