Does anyone here think that Larry Holmes is sometimes underappreciated?

I barely understand a word.

 

Then you're a fraudulent German!

Google translator helped me fail GCSE Spanish, i'll have you know.

 

Larry followed in Muhammed's footsteps,but here on the Classic-and by other true boxing fans-he gets his just due.He's one of the greatest heavyweights ever-I personally have him in the top 4.His only problem was his putting his foot in his mouth at inappropriate moments.

 

I only speak a bit of Spanish. As I said to my "amigo" the other day: Marquez Y Katsidis es givo mi muay bueno erectione massivo non homuseo lot ga saba de rooooooombul a yiyiyiyiyiyawlalahahahah! :bbb:bbb:bbb

 

So you were seriously about Niko drinking wodka with his own brand of sugar? ´Cause that´s what the google translater says.

If Ali had to face a Larry Holmes in 1967 or 1975, we'd be looking at both
Ali and Holmes differently.

Holmes had the perfect 'mirror' style to beat Ali at any time during his career.
A 'big puncher' style was not the way to defeat Ali.

 

ali 64-67 would play with larry holmes, simple

 

Which wins did Larry have that make you think he would beat Ali?

Ali didn't beat a boxer of Larry's quality, but he did convincingly beat skillful boxers like Liston, Patterson, Folley and Ellis as well as pretty skilled and good tall jabbers like Terrell and Bugner. Which is the best boxers Larry beat? Green versions of Carl Williams and Witherspoon?

You can never really know about these things, but Larry has little in his record to show that he would beat someone like Ali. Stylistically, I think his vulnerability to rights is bad news in this match-up as well.

 

Now that is the Photoshop master that brings so much joy to my life.

 

lol your spanish is great "amigo":rofl:rofl:rofl

 

One of the best jabs ever in the sport

 

Ali 67' would certainly beat Holmes.
75' Ali would still outbox Holmes, as Holmes would be too green and wouldn't have the smarts to take advantage of a slowed Ali.

 

best heavyweight of all time

 

well put
