I think that larry holmes avoided jimmy young and ron lyle.

Hmm I read somewhere on boxing digest that Holmes vs Young was suppose to be made in 1980. But CBS decline it because boxing commentators like Freddie Pacheco said Young was not worth the money and was past it.

 

Larry wasn't a good boy. Now it makes sense. He actually made up his own mind and made use of it when he was finally in a position to do so ... would you have more respect for him if he ended up like Tom Molineaux ? Do you actually view the fight game as fair, honest and based on merit ? That the good are rewarded ? How naive. Let honor be determined by who has to take the punches, not the cheerleaders from the bleachers.
