I hope I can give Floyd props...I give Larry Holmes props. Holmes actually took on Don King and won. His secret is something Dempsey also did: Holmes knew where he lived and grew up, so naturally he knew what kind of products and services people wanted. He got in good, as a local hero with the business community and developed businesses.
Want to know something REALLY fvked up Scipio? In Easton Pennsylvania when Larry, a Black man, wanted to own a restaurant for example, the good people said "hell yeah larry is the man!" that was great....when Bill Cosby, on the other hand, another black man, said, "well its nice that the establishment seem to love me, and I even have me some cash money...I want to buy NBC a Television network>" well... the establishment wasn't going to let a Black man own NBC...So all that love went out the window and Bill's son was killed, and you know the rest of the story. Bill tried twice... Thats fvked up.
