Ok, I grew up near Kitchener, Ontario and I would see Lewis occasionally when he was in his late teens/early twenties way before he turned pro and left for the UK. You're all missing something. Lewis was a shy young guy when he was a teenager. He was always kind of reserved and quiet (especially around people he didn't know). He was certainly not a braggart or a loud mouth type of personality. Maybe confident because of his boxing background, but not arrogant at all. Very polite in person in those days and always grateful to be recognized. The way he was approached in that video was definitely not what he would be used to growing up in Canada. Nobody would treat him like that and that is definitely not the Canadian way to approach a celeb. We're all a bit more respectful than that. One more thing, these snide remarks about Lewis being gay really makes me laugh because that guy was always a major ***** hound. Maybe more quiet about it, but then again the real lady killers are always kind of subtle about their business lol.
Are you Mad? You are on every single place where larry holmes is mentioned you are seriously obssesed. Taken seriously here? I know more about boxing than the 75% of this classic forum, i am here now because i can't go out of my home, you know. A high % of you never even trained boxing(not all them) so it is a funny thing that somebody is talking about a sport that never trained. Another even funnier thing is ... when you say "they won't take you seriously here" you think I could care a about it, still my comments have a lot of knowledge behind it, even if you don't like it. you can cry and kick all you want, that won't change a thing
Met him at the Benn McClellan fight .He was with his brother tried to have a chat but got a bit star struck ! He was fine but probably thought I was a right prat !
Haha more than 75% more like 0% your in that group of loud mouth obnoxious posters always looking to start trouble and always looking to prove you know more than this one or that one which again means you know close to nothing. Your just as obsessed as discrediting Holmes as I am defending him but for the opposite reasons. You discredit Holmes as a fighter because you cant stand him personally even though you never met him. I do defend Holmes because I've followed him since 77 so I think I know a thing or two about him besides calling him arrogant. As far as never trained let's just say I took it to a higher level than hitting a bag in a garage at home which is obviously your level. Oh and BTW a guy that says he knows more about boxing than most of the people on here just reaffirms my opinion you dont know #### Have a nice day.
.You write too much and you say nothing Zzzz. You are a holmes fanboy obssesed with him bordering on disease. Like i said you are a poor guy behing a screen talking nonsenses.. My level is "hitting a bag is a garage" apart from training mma, grappling, and japanese jiu jitsu.. The boxing is the most limited art of combat, I kick your ass with a hand in back. But Back to the topic, you are only an infantile guy who can't deal with a" negative opinion" about larry holmes,even when nobody is talking with you, you are sick with him.( what i said is that i think that lewis would beat him). and i am giving too much explanations to an idiot like you. I never started saying that i know more than anybody without motive, I replied to your comment. I know nothing about boxing that is why in several of my extended comments where i am debating about boxing i got this number of thumbs up . I'm sorry, poor creature, but even if you don't admit it, I understand about this, you just can't stand the way I act here, but I don't give a **** about that.i am nice with nice people but you don't **** with me.
I never met him but I was a few feet away from him in Atlantic City when he was being interviewed outside of the ring after annihilating Golata. He is definitely somewhat physically imposing...
So you resort to the same old tired threats of kicking my ass lol what a child with one hand tied behind your back no less lol I think the last time I said that to someone I was maybe 10. Then you resort to the name calling which is another mark of your high intellect. As I said the first time I've been watching Holmes since 77 so I think I gotta a pretty good pulse on his abilities whereas you keep talking about how much you dislike his personality which is why you have such a low opinion of him. Separate his boxing ability from his personality and you just might get on the right path. Of and you did say you know something like 70 % or do more about boxing than most of the posters here. You said it not me. Do us a favor and go to Sherwood and talk about your mma or japanese jiu jitsu. We have enough tough talk tough guys on here. Dont need another one
I will not feed more your nonsenses. I rank holmes as fighter in the top 5 hw so obviously you could not be more wrong. I pick lewis over him so what? Lewis is another top 5 hw so it is not a rare thing
Then dont. You shouldn't have sunk to the level of name calling and violence. Its childish. Were grown ### men here
