Was Larry Holmes….”The Greatest”?

[Mike Tyson77]

It isn't that I hate him, it's just that I have less respect for him especially comparing him to men like Holyfield. a guy who knocked out old women's teeth in his past, ducked big fights like Foreman, quits when he is about to lose, had his ass beat in his prime by douglas...etc...doesn't deserve the respect Holyfield does.

So you agree they should just have rules that state you can lay on the canvas for 11 seconds in the 8th round and be allowed to continue.

Ask Lewis,Tyson,Bowe,Rahman, all say Holyfield uses that head like a 3rd fist. Holyfield also bite someone you know.

Yaman...If you want responses to your posts I suggest maturing a little bit..I really didn't think your post was worth replying to when I had a guy as intelligent as K-DOGG to converse with. Sorry.

Ok so Bonehugger and Weaver lost their diapers LONG TIME AGO. True ha ha. But they still weren't guys you can easily ko just like that. Im sticking with Larry Holmes beating Mercer and going the decision with the real deal long after Michael. The point was simply that if Holmes really AGED at 35, he wouldn't have been as good as he was later in his career.

Blown up LHW or not, when you got the skills, you hot. And as far as Gerry Cooney not being ready, kinda the same as Tyson-Douglass ain it? But yeah sure, he wasnt really ready. The point is, Spinks had so much skill, his weight didnt matter. He was a good heavyweight.

Spinks threw the Tyson fight. There are no if's and's or but's about it.
The first, and only time i have seen a fighter come into the ring with kneepads.
I suppose if he was going to take a dive, he probably didnt want to skin his knee's in the process.

Any proof on that, sir?

Well i've seen a million posts of you hating on Tyson, and when i finally proove you wrong with a brilliant post, you back off....Like the reporter did when Mike owned him.

He pulled a no mas the first after putting illegal substances on his gloves didnt work and was caught with a good shot in the second fight and knew he couldnt win and stayed down.

Charge!
No Basket!!!

Well the fact that he wore kneepads into the ring is a big telling point, but also the way he fought that 1:30 that just showed he had no intention of wininng. He wanted the big payday, then left the sport for good. The punch wasnt devestating by any means either.
