    Larry Holmes never got full appreciation for the heavyweight talent he was in the late 70's early 80's.

    I agree with Michael Spinks. More so with casual fans. Hardcore fans usually know what a great fighter he was. I was watching his bout with Yaqui Lopez yesterday. Really good fight.

    Pryor gets enough credit. In fact he gets too much credit from people who claim he was ducked by Leonard & Duran without knowing enough about Pryor's career, the offers he had, and why certain fights didn't happen. The Ring also terribly overrated him on their 2002 list.

    Spinks is an excellent call but you need to see beyond the Tyson loss
