    I remember reading maybe 3 of his posts in the past and it was more than enough, to be honest.
    It’s the same pattern over and over….he picks Holmes, Liston and Hagler to beat pretty much anyone and cherry picks articles to make his point.

    He also stated that Liston was harder puncher than Ernie Shavers and that he is faster than Tyson which is laughable.

    Larry Holmes would give any heavyweight who ever lived problems, Joe Louis? I kinda favor Joe to get to Larry mid fight with a right hand and take control and win a UD .

    Snipes got to him, Shavers got to him. Witherspoon arguably beat him. Weaver gave him a hard night. He’s not getting by Louis’ combinations. He arguably doesn’t even have the best jab in this fight.
