Comments Thread For: Larry Holmes Says Anthony Joshua Must Face, Beat Tyson Fury

[Lou Cipher]

As long as Tyson Fury is retired and undefeated, Larry cannot sleep at night because it reminds him of how Rocky Marciano KO’d Archie Moore KO’d Bert Whitehurst KO’d Joe Shelton KO’d Sonny Banks KO’d Lee Batts KO’d Johnny Gause KO’d Jeff Merritt KO’d Ron Standard KO’d Ernie Shavers KO’d Jimmy Young KO’d George Foreman KO’d Pierre Coetzer KO’d Johnny Du Plooy KO’d David Bey KO’d James “Buster” Douglas KO’d Mike Tyson KO’d Larry Holmes and he knows there's now 2 white heavyweights that he couldn't carry the jockstrap of in his prime.

Obviously if Fury never comes back then it is all on Fury, but would be a massive shame if this fight didnt happen.

Has a historic HW fight like this ever taken place between 2 Brits on British soil?

Two British boxers with genuine claims to being the HW champion? So many little storylines in there as well. Good vs Bad (by mainstream media standards), north vs south, boxer vs puncher, outspoken vs 'humble', establishment vs anti-establishment, hell even black vs white if you are that way inclined.

Like a modern day Ali vs Frazier where Ali is Tyson Fury and AJ is Frazier. But with a fraction of the skill and about 40lbs more in size.

Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno for the WBC title was a huge fight in 1993. It sold out the old Welsh national stadium, Cardiff Arms Park. AJ vs Fury would be even bigger. They will need to install extra seats at Wembley again for that one if it ever happens.

Everyones talking Fury ? Why is Fury name going to come up ? Secondly a Fury fight is not even possible untl 2019 and thats IF he makes it in the ring by next year . It doesn't matter if Joshua defeats Fury ,that guys never even defended a title once so what critics is Joshua silencing besides off the wall Fury fanatics? Wilders name obviously will come up .

Crazy Larry strikes again !

Larry Holmes is stranded in the UK giving these leaching ass reporters all kinds of ridiculous and scandalous material too pander to its naive and gullible readers. He ( Holmes) needs to come home :

I fear his Alzheimer's is being exploited by the UK media, because any credible boxing journalist would never bring up IRRELEVANT Tyson 'Gypsy Queen' Fury.

Larry be uncle tommin in the Uk now. Giving them Brit bums advice how to duck Deontay. Smh

It's ironic Larry is saying this, because outside of Shannon Briggs, Tyson Fury just so happens to be one of the few names that Anthony Joshua actually dropped; Following his win over Wladimir Klitschko.

Yeah i did think that. But Bruno didnt have any claim to being the champ or best in the division. Fury is the lineal champ, AJ is current best in the division and unified titlist.

[Straightener]

Never heard of them.

Same danny Williams that knocked out Mike Tyson
