Your favorite Holmes fights

I like the way he flattened Mike with his right cross.

 

All good, I'll add old Holmes vs. McCall

 

Good fight, close fight. I had McCall winning by only a point.

 

I've always loved the line: "When this is over, you're gonna call me Mr Snipes!"

I like Holmes/Cooney. Larry showed that he was much better. It is always good to see the great hype or build up fighter get beaten decisively.

 

I watched the Cooney fight , what a shame if it is one of his best , but not surprising for me.

 

One thing about Holmes. He was the last Heavyweight Champion to regularly fight on network tv (often prime time). So it was good thatre and usually good fights. Even his blowouts were entertaining. I can recall an entertaining postfights interview after he stopped Scott Frank. Frank was very upset about an alleged thumbing I believe, as if the outcome would've been different had he not been thumbed. The Spinks and Marvis Frazier fights were entertaining. The Cobb fight rid us of Cosell.

 

the norton and witherspoon fights are real good and the shavers fights and the mercer fight are the first ones that spring to mind
