Larry Holmes says he can still beat Wladimir Klitschko although he's age 65

[The Hammer]

If anything Holmes was known for the best jab ever arguably in boxing...however Knowing many consider Wlad,including myself of having the superior jab ,he has to degrade him......its Larry.....

There's some envy in those comments.

Holmes had a great run as heavyweight champion - he surpassed all expectations during his career (unlike Lewis, Frazier, Ali and Foreman he wasn't considered the future champion when he started out as a pro).

He should just accept his age and respect Klitschko for what he is.

Stranger things have happened.

Or have they? Actually I'm not sure. That would be up there with Jesus walking on water imo.

hhhh , good one .
i think he was just joking/trolling , there is no way he believes that , if he does he got serious issues.

holmes still a jealous bitter insecure ahole even after getting the respect he deserves for a great career. I dont recall him ever being complimentary to any fighter other than himself

People say weird things when they are punched in the head for a living. Add in the old age and it equals delusional.

Sadly, many boxers end up this way.

I'd take wlad by UD over 65 yr old Holmes. would be the best win on wlads resume.

LOL...

The sad thing here is you're probably right.

[Nay_Sayer]

thought the same thing when I saw the title. Guess he didn't learn his lesson from Tyson over 20 years ago. He'd be put in a coma vs arreola nowadays.

I'd take a 39 year old Holmes over the Wlad we saw wilt against Jennings...

[Nay_Sayer]

Even a prime Holmes would get badly KOed by either Klitschko brother.

LOL.

You need to put down the Crack pipe. Holmes would have KO'ed both of these frauds...

Hey, Larry Holmes is that dude. He can say what ever the **** he wants about other boxers as far as I'm concerned

he was a ridiculously good HW at his best, but it's insulting to the entire sport to say what he said about klitschko. wladimir is a perfectly decent HW champion.


i think he sounds like a jackass. he's been known to sound like a jackass in the past. holmes is well known to be bitter about a lot of things, mainly living in the shadow of muhammad ali.

Most of those "18" defenses were of a PAPER title. Wlad has only defended the LINEAL title 3 times whereas Holmes defended it 12 times. Holmes' record is in NO danger of being broken by Wlad...
