In Larry's defense, he had just lost his first pro fight, which is already pretty tough on a fighter, and soon after someone has to bring up the Marciano question. I believe if you raised the Marciano question now he would respond in a much more kindly fashion.
Are there any quotes from Larry Holmes regarding Marciano that were made a while after the Spinks fight?
