    What Larry meant with heart is that Wlad was never taken into deep waters.

    larry knows lots about deep waters, go watch his fights with Witherspoon, Norton, Williams.

    Then he must have conveniently missed the first Sam Peter fight.

    I'm pretty certain Wlad could afford the microscope it'd take to find it.

    You need to realize Holmes faced better opposition and fought 15 round wars.

    Wlad was only ever engaged in two wars where he wasn't able to make it past 2 and 4 rounds.

    Holmes was a class act inside the ring. Can't say the same for Wald who is a Classless cheater with a foul code of sportsmanship

    Yes Dino I am well aware of how good Lorenzo Zanon, Scott Frank, Leroy Jones, Scott LeDoux, Tex Cobb, and Marvis Frazier were. All ATG's. What a murderers row of title defenses. Can't believe Larry managed to beat them all.

    Holmes stared his reign by beating Ali. Wlad by beating Chris Byrd:rofl:patsch

    If Wlad got taken out by the punch that floored Holmes , your type would all be saying - its ok cos Shavers was one of the biggest punchers ever:tired

    Larry got up and cleaned Shavers clock.

    Lord he beat a 38 year old sick Ali who had no business even being licensed for the fight.

    I know you weren't around at the time but Holmes was thought of as boring he couldn't KO any outright most of his stoppages were mercy TKO's against the ropes. His competition was awful. No different than the guys Wlad is facing today.

    What this really comes down to is Wlad has already passed Larry in terms of length of rein and he is closing in on the 20 title defenses. That is what Holmes is worried about and why he is saying these things.

    Shot Ali is still miles better than shot Chris Byrd.

    Did you happen to see Byrds fight before Wlad won the title from him? The guy was shot to bits and produced the worst HW fights known to man against Willaimson and MaCline and Oquendo. Plus he deserved to lose all those fights.

    Ali was competitive against Berbick after the Holmes loss. Berbick would go onto become WBC HW Champ.

    After the Wlad loss, Byrd was embarrassed and stopped by a no name light heavy weight:rofl:oops:

    Dear o Dear:rofl

    Dino I will admit no I did not see Chris Byrd's fights before Wlad I didn't make it a habit of watching his fights.

    And no, Ali was not competitive with Berbick the fight was a sickening affair. Berbick won the WBC belt and failed to defend it even once. He wasn't a good fighter. At all.

    Why do people get so bent out of shape about what he said? It's his opinion and he's earned the right to express it. He also said negative things about PBF as well but I guess you ****s forgot about that.

    Don't worry, I've exposed those lies already on numerous occasions. Everyone knows Duckvelvet has absolute zero credibility.
