    Can't spare enough time for a peek at the video - does he say he meant specifically with the LH? Because I have no problem believing Joe's packed more wallop than Mike's, destructive as Mike's was.

    Now, if he meant Joe's LH trumps all of Mike's stuff, including the looping rights and uppercuts he got him with... :think Now that would be a statement.

    Go back and read my edit. But the point is, Holmes did this kinda thing all the time, especially where Tyson was concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point he said Muhammad Ali, Jerry Lee Lewis or even his sister hit harder than Tyson.

    My thought process just now:

    "LOL Jerry Lewis.

    Oh wait no he said Jerry Lee."


    As though it made all that much difference. :lol:


    I mean, it kinda does...

    Larry Holmes: " I was at a preschool once picking up one of my sons around 1983. This five year old girl hit me in the stomach and I swear she hit harder than Tyson. "

    Random Poster 30 years later: " Hey guys I just read an article that a preschool girl hit Holmes harder than Tyson, and I TOTALLY believe it !!!!!!"

    We don't need Holme's opinion to solidify that Frazier more than likely beats Holmes prime for prime

    Loved Larry as a fighter, but he will probably never talk about the Greg Page duck.......ever.

    Yeah because I'd actually believe people on a forum over a fighter who's been in the ring with both. :lol:
