Yeah same here, especially with that "Pacquiao fan dies" story right under it. My heart literally skipped a beat.

happy B larry.what a fighter

To really understand what a prick he is you need to see the comment he made about fighting Ali in the Frazier documentary. He's a deluded bitter jackass.

yea,,,I remember him on a talk show going at it with bert sugar becuz he dared rank foreman a peg above him. he dissed on big George and his accomplishments instead of paying his respects for a fellow atg. a real piece of work that holmes is

The guy is out of his mind. No humility, no class.

I never liked Holmes, growing up I saw footage of his fights and realised pretty quickly he was a great fighter but as a person he is a prick. He disses on Ali then call him a friend, does the same to Foreman. He disses on anybody if the money and the film crew want him to. He has little or no integrity.

You want to discuss a "bum of the month" club look no further than Larry's career.

I believe he questioned lennox Lewis's manhood in his book if Im not mistaken. he also had some bad words for ken Norton who gave him a life and death battle. I could go on and on here with holmes but it looks like everyone sees the same picture. great fighter but lousy person with no class

[I Love Jesus!]

hes bitter towards everyone. have you ever heard that pos ever talk good about anyone?

Ya all the time, himself

Larry Holmes just barely avoided the same fate Wlad is destined for. If he shows up 2 or 3 years later, he doesn't get those couple of names to prove how great he was.

Great fighter. One of the true greatest.
