Larry Holmes Quote

[Boxclever]

i'm a big fan of ali and never thought anything bad about Larry Holmes, great fighter no doubt

[joeytrimble]

lol the guy has a point? wheres the rage suposed to come from.....we all know ali was a womenizer and did the mambo many times

[jabsRstiff]

Larry Holmes is actually one of the funnier & wiser fighters I know of....

I loved it when he had one of his numerous "farewell" fights (back in '96). It was on CBS, & it was Father's Day. After he ko'd his foe, Tim Ryan asked him if he'd like to send Father's Day wishes out to everyone.....& Larry responded with- "I'd like to dedicate this Father's Day victory to all the mother's out there, who have to deal with all of those deadbeat dads."

C'mon.....that's ****in' gold.

1. Tunney Hunsaker
2. Henry Cooper
3. George Chuvalo
4. Brian London
5. Karl Mildenburger
6. Jerry Quarry
7. Joe Frazier
8. Jurgen Blin
9. Joe Bugner
10. Ken Norton
11. George Foreman
12. Chuck Wepner
13. Jean Pierre-Coopman
14. Ernie Shavers
15. Larry Holmes

i remember when he said that. but it's true though. nothing i could say about that. anyway, ali still the greatest fighter of all times!

Larry Holmes was a bitter guy early on. He is far that now. He has casino's,resturants,hotels,office buildings and a legacy that continues to grow with the passing of time. Holmes wasn't flashy or overly exciting in his prime, but he was damn good.

Nothing but respect from me. As far as the comment regarding Ali and his "Silencing of the Snakes"...truth hurts

Yeah that's the one.

I got that book for free. I went up to the manager at Tower Records and asked if they had any boxing books and he just gave me that one.
