    I remember that. Holmes was hated by most journalists including Cosell who does a lousy job of hiding his contempt for Larry and his love for Cooney. Maybe Holmes busting his lip had something to do with it.

          Oh my...Holmes was a thug! I knew that for some time now. And on which occasion was this meeting between him and Berbick?? They fought only once in the ring, in 1981. Berbick ended Holmes' ko streak in the title defenses and prevented him from breaking the record. So I guess Holmes had more than one reason to hate Berbick!

          Btw, did you know this: when Rahman defeated Berbick on points in '96, Holmes called him just to say thanks!

              Remember people, most of the footage The Great A uploads isnt his, but when he uploads it he dosent thank the person who really put it up, because he wants all the glory for it.

              This in't his footage and HE DOES NOT UPLOAD IT, so don't thank him.

              The dude is a fraud, and just's copy and pastes everything!

                  Larry Holmes was a great HW Champion and probably one of the most under appreciated fighters ever.
