Tyson told Ali he was going to get Holmes for him

I told Ali when I was a kid when I get big I'm going to get @LarryHolmes75 for you. #BeingMikeTyson

I've seen and heard stories about this in the past. Never knew if it was true or not.

Cus schooling Ali in how to beat him.. right before Fraizer beat him.

Cus shows better movement in here at 1:10 than most fighters can show today.

And lol @Ali.. "Keep your camera movin cuz I'm kinna fast."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ali is a great speaker and showman. He's really the GOAT.

It would've been nicer if Ali is the one who tweet that Tyson told him that but they both nice either way.

Ali and Tyson are the face of boxing.

It might be true but it's a ****** concept. One fighter can't avenge another fighter's defeat. Tyson can KO Holmes but it does not change what Holmes did to Ali. What did Holmes do wrong that he needed to be gotten for? Holmes fought his best and he beat Ali. That's not a crime. Now Brook is talking that same ****** stuff about getting revenge for Hatton. Only Hatton can get revenge. Brook can KO the guy that beat Hatton but Hatton's lose is still there so it doesn't change a thing.

No.. 1st off Ali was a National Icon and the greatest American Sportsman in history. His name literally outshines every other sports person America has produced in terms of historical impact and fame.

It was a personal vendetta of Tyson's and I admire him for it.

Also Holmes lied that he was taking it easy on Ali when he was unleashing everything but the kitchen sink and still couldn't KO corpse Muhammad lol.

I didn't know that, but when Tyson fought Berbick, Ali got into the ring before the fight started and he said something to Tyson, something like "beat him for me" or something like that.

[BKM-2010]

And when Berbick fought Tyson, Ali came into the ring and told Tyson to get him for him. Tyson's words from the Beyond the glory docu. Pretty cool how Tyson sort of avanged Ali's bad losses.

Tell that to the Klitschko brothers.

I've seen that on youtube as well. Never really decided whether or not I believed it or not. But I guess it's true.
