    Thanks for that, Holmes at the end was interesting, experience is massive.

    So is ability. No amount of experience was going to help Marvis as he just wasn't on this level at any stage.

    Being 10 times the fighter didn't harm Larry either.

    I really struggle to watch any clip with Holmes talking and this is no exception. If someone could point out when he appears I'll tune make sure I exit the page around that time. Just listening to him for 10 seconds could put Chris Akabusi is a stinkin' mood.

    ****inghell boys! I wasn't saying he'd ever have a chance, just commenting on Larry's words.

    Talk about jumping someone from behind, you two should be ashamed, haha.(kidding)

    How do you make a statement like that ?

    Someone edits a clip from two completely different shoots, without the men hearing each other or possibly even knowing they will be placed side by side on topics of completely different importance...and then you rip Holmes ? :nut

    Deep clip of Marvis but his relationship with his father was over the top and a bit unresolved if you ask me ... his entire existence has been to please Joe, from his modified fighting style to his post career career ... I have met and spent time with him. He is a bright and good man ... just a deep relationship filled with history with his dad ...

    I feel for Marvis period.And to end if off, being blown out in 30 seconds or so by Tyson, Page should have gotten his title shot.

    Tough to watch that. Marvis is a good guy and really had a deep respect for his dad and wanting to do everything he could to make him proud. Obviously there was a lot of pressure in that.

    There was a moral dilemna for Joe going on here. Do you take the shot while it's there even tho your boy in stupid inexperienced and still improving or do you chance losing the opportunity in an effort to have him better prepared.

    I thought Joe was a bit cruel but on his side was the fact Holmes was undeniably slipping and many thought he was ripe for the taking. One mag somehow found a way to actually pick Frazier.
