    No one ever destroyed Larry Holmes like that in the following years.

    Maybe Holmes was somewhat slower and past his best, but still very, very difficult to KO.

    I remember watching this clip years ago, having no idea what would happen. Then when Larry suddenly appears on the top of that limo and fecking double jump kicked Berbick in the face, I literally fell down my couch from laughter!

    Good post. Holmes was clearly past it when he fought Tyson, but the way Tyson dismantled and then destroyed Holmes was impressive.

    Add to that how Berbick cried like a little girl about Holmes kicking and punching him, or something like that, while the cops escorting him were like “yeah yeah, sure he did”.

    And mere seconds later, the great Larry Holmes appears :D
