"A tip of the hat to Larry Holmes, one of the greatest heavyweight champions ever. Last month, Holmes attended the Great Sports Legends Dinner that's held annually to raise money for The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis. Other attendees included John Elway, Magic Johnson, Mark Messier and Gary Player.

Then there were the second-tier sports celebrities, including New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson. At one point, Holmes and boxing memorabilia expert Craig Hamilton found themselves talking with Robinson.

"I hope you're not embarrassed," Robinson told Holmes. "But I don't know who you are."

"I'm not embarrassed," the legendary champion responded. "But you should be." "

I never really understood why Larry Holmes was so ignored/hated... until i really thought about it.

People loved Ali... Holmes spanked him

People loved Gerry Cooney... Holmes spanked him as well (even though they friends now)

People loved and were excited about Marvis Frazier... it took Holmes a round

and that last quote just proves that fighters back then were better talkers then fighters now.
