    You missed the last sentence, 'But still it shows I was better than Ali because he lost to Joe and this just shows not only can Joe not jab, he can't drive for **** either'

    He said in a recent interview that he'll take the tests that Floyd wants, then he said " I wanna see if that's the real reason why he won't fight me ". :yep

    He's not exactly making it unclear as to whether he gave Joe the money there...:lol:

    That said, a good act is a good act.

    Holmes was a great great heavyweight, let down by a less than stellar era. But looking at his skillset, he'd be very difficult to beat for anybody, including Lennox. These comments are silly though, he should still be able to recognize a grade A talent.

    I was lucky enough to ask him how he felt he would do in the modern era of the Heavyweights, his response "I would have beaten everybody that stepped in the ring with me." Cannot disagree with that :yep

    A prime Lennox Lewis didn't lose to McCall though...

    And Lennox would never have lost twice to Michael Spinks, but that's boxing

    Holmes is a bitter bellend and Lennox is a gentleman and a credit to the sport

    A combination of a very low IQ and the early onset of dementia, describe his absolutely ludicrous comments...what a complete and utter tool he has made himself.

    Lewis actually has class.

    Larry was never one of the nice guyds of the gam. Boxing fans should be used to his comments by now. That being said Lewis obviously had a hell of a jab:good

    Lewis did actually ask Holmes to teach him his jab, highly respecting it, Holmes replied 'I'll teach you it in the ring, lets sign a fight'

    Dont think Ive ever heard Larry praise another fighter.That said Holmes did have a hell of a good jab,but to say Lennox had nothing in that department is just stupid.

    He certainly sounds like a ****...:yep But if there is anyone in boxing that can critically appraise someones jab, it's Larry Holmes...:deal

    Larry is incredibly bitter and very full of himself. But he was also a stellar talent. He could fight and box, his jab was a thing of beauty (and much better than Lewis' in fact). Because he was never a one-punch KO guy, he developed his general skills.

    Any HW would struggle with him, including Ali.

    Larry has been that like for 30 years or more...


    He was a great fighter, but when Tyson smashes the same comp he had taken on, for me it took gloss of what he did.

    Lennox Lewis jab was not as good as Holmes nor was he as a good boxer as Holmes, but then Lennox punched harder, was stronger and greater. Lewis has the second best comp of any heavyweight great. Only M. Ali has greater competition.
