        Didn't Holmes write in his book that Butterbean was a fat slob impersonating a boxer??

          and I reckon holmes is full of ****. shavers has one of the best overhand rights ever in the history of the heavyweight division if not THE best. just watch that overhand right that landed on holmes, the look on his face when he got up was priceless. that **** definitely "woke" his ass up lol.

            over 50 when he fought butterbean.I think his punch
            resistance would go down a touch within that period
            of time.


            Well said! I heard him say on HBO that he thinks Butterbean hits harder than Foreman!

                Holmes won a 10 round decision. It was about 3 or 4 years ago.

                    I think he's taken one too many blows to the head. His lisp is more anoying than Tysons and his brain is even more unstable.
