    Isn't interesting that these two had one of the longest, arguably most intense boxing rivalries, yet only fought once?

    Top 5 HW ever and surely the greatest boxer ever to leap off a car hood to land a double footed jump kick on another former HW champion.

    I thought their real pro fight was a very good fight actually.

    Ha ha, that's very funny. That is the way Berbick sounds.

    Berbicks sad demise doesn’t engender any crocodile tears from Larry to this day. Larry rates highly for all time grudge carriers, bless him.

    But larry is a good guy. It was pretty funny to see that. Larry was a tough guy, he didnt take any crap from anyone. Hes become soft in his old age

    Hi mate. Yeah, I wondered where that came from. Berbick sounded like a very bad apple.
