He was never depicted. Holmes was not a factor in telling the Ali story, except for closing the show on the Lip, which was not about to be portrayed.
That is not what he is asking. Larry Holmes is credited with a role in the movie. SteveO does not recall seeing Holmes in the film. Holmes played the role of a reporter I believe. It has been a while since I watched the movie, so I can't tell you what scene to look for, SteveO.
I don't think Larry the man was in it. I meant the character of Larry Holmes (as Will Smith played the character of Ali). On another thread, someone told me that they used the Holmes character as a sparring partner in the flim.
