1."I`ll moider da bum" - Tony Galento before being pummled by Joe Louis 2."Rocky Marciano couldn`t carry my jockstrap" - Larry Holmes 3."I will never let a white person beat me" - Bernard Hopkins before he lost to a white person. Feel free too add to this list of foot in mouth
Larry Holmes.... the most classic example of under-to-overrated fighter in boxing history. Neither he nor Marciano are in the top drawer of heavy greats.
Just watch any mike tyson interview "I broke my back" "i want to eat his children" even though lewis had no children at the time there are loads more
"He fought 60 Tijuna Cab drivers my mother could have knocked out - Greg Haugen. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxu8frKEB8E[/ame]
Didn't he say white boy? He didn't get beat up it was Calzaghe who touched the canvas against his grandpa b-hop who didn't have the stamina to keep up in the end.
Larry Holmes was pissed. And I can see why. Dominated the heavyweight division but never got the same accolades as Marciano or Ali
Dominated a **** poor division, and never had that defining win. Larry was no Muhammad Ali, and he wasn't white like Marciano.
True. But thats why I give the Klits the benefit of the doubt. You can only fight whos put infront of you. And its not like you can move up anymore divisions.
