    Great shout, makes you wonder why he didn't have a more dedicated body attack.

    Co0ney was a beast to the body not only Lyle but check his fight with Leroy Boone. Also his fight with Holmes with about 5 seconds left in the 4th round I think he catches Holmes in the body that REALLY hurt Larry had more time been left in the round he may have had a shot to stop him. Just watch the following round Larry gets on his bike and his trail hand never leaves his body once.

    Gerry was vicious he also hit Larry low several times in that bout. That bout is underrated it's actually a very good fight to watch. Good back and forth action, highlighting both fighters strengths. Holmes was unfairly critized in his era soley because he wasn't Ali in the charisma department. He had so many good fights. Gerry could of been very good maybe not great but he could of been very good.
