no where... a lot more legit than Bronny...but still...ultimately it was a 'gift" fight ....taking care of joe frazier via marvis. marvis frazier was paid 800,000 for this fight
Larry Holmes was always surrounded by good people for the most part, never getting in trouble or drugs or anything like that. At the end of the Norton fight, his team brought him straight to the trainers room on a table to stretch him out. He had just won the world championship and his people you could tell were really looking out for him.
I respect Joe Frazier, but his son didn’t have any business being in that ring with Larry Holmes. Larry had more title defenses than Marvis had fights.
Almost got him killed here too. Here he had all of 10 fights and was thrown in with a dominant champ. Just absurd. It’s like throwing some dude from a DAZN fight night undercard in with Usyk. Like, huh? Why would you do that? What do you think is gonna happen?
@@skinrule1 Joe knew Marvis heart weren't really there so got him 650k for Holmes and 350k for Tyson. 1mil bucks for a short career seemed OK to daddy Joe
Larry Holmes is generally considered one of the greatest heavyweights ever, and this was his most impressive KO. So in that sense, it’s a classic I guess.
I don’t think any version of Larry Holmes would beat a prime Tyson. It was just a bad matchup. Holmes caught hell with Norton and Shavers. Shavers almost killed him. You think he would’ve beaten Mike?

@@djeanpierre old, ring rusty Holmes at his absolute WORST lasted 4 rounds with Mike at his absolute best, Holmes took little damage in first 3 rounds and easily frustrated Mike and tied him up on inside, That was Holmes at 40% so a prime Holmes at 100% i believe had enough to beat Tyson who would've experienced skill, speed, toughness and will-to-win that he had never seen before in a pro ring.
Marvis a light heavy at best. Joe did him an injustice throwing him in the heavy weight division against the best in the world. Joe trying to recapture the glory years.
I really wished back then that Joe Frazier would come out of retirement and seek revenge, for his sons bad loss and destroy Larry , ,, in their prime joe Frazier would destroy Larry Holmes , that's my opinion
this is why holmes doesnt always get the respect from some people cause of fighting people like this, be like fury or usyk fighting unbeaten moses itauma,fabio wardley or justis huni,not credible fights, how did marvis fraser get this shot at the title i'm sure we can name a few fighters at the time who deserved the shot more, he got the shot because he is smokin joes son, lets face it.....
MARVIS WAS A LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT NOT A HEAVYWEIGHT... HE WAS TOO SMALL FOR HEAVYWEIGHT. AND THEN HIS SKILLS WASNT GOOD EOUGH. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF HE HAD BEEN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT AND JUST FIGHTING LOW CLASS FIGHTERS FOR A WHILE.
This bout should not have even happened. Marvis wasn’t even near the championship level. Marvis needed a lot more experience before he fought anyone in the top 5. This and the Tyson fight were because of his father, and Joe led Marvis to slaughter.
The fight was stopped so he didn't suffer the exact same punishment he suffered against Mike Tyson when the fight was stopped too late. Tyson nearly killed him. What good is having a referee if they sit back and allow you to be killed?
What a foolish thing to put someone who is 10-0 against a champion who is 44-0. Kind of reminds me of when they put Tyrell Biggs, who was only 15-0, against Mike Tyson who was 31-0 at the time but, at least, Biggs was an Olympic Gold medalist. Marvis Frazier had no such accolades nor was he ever a real contender to warrant ever getting this shot.

Larry didnt want to hurt him.
Great vid,great to see the backstory of the great Larry Holmes
I watched this live on a 13 inch 📺 in my room with a terrible fever from having chicken pox! Lemon lime Kool-aid and orange sherbet! Good times. Lol
It was the day after thanksgiving. I remember watching this.
That was Joe trying to live through Marvis. Marvis was no where near ready.
When was he ever ready?
@joeblow2069 NEVER

@@MSHELLENIC-z1pafter Marvis paid everyone and Uncle Sam I bet the poor kid walked away with less than half.
He was no where near daddy either.
Holmes was a smart guy. Worth 20 million which is more than double that he made in the ring. Lives a very comfortable life in Pennsylvania🥊

Owns many properties i've heard. Invested his money wisely.
Too much too soon Marvis,
Larry was one of the all time great heavy weights.
I always loved Diane Holmes . She always was a wonderful wife to Larry.
He picked a GOOD woman. Almost none of us know how to pick a good one, his greatest accomplishment in my opinion 💯

IS a good woman.
Why would a 10 - 0 fighter go up against the 44 - 0 champ
If he wasn’t Joe Frazier’s son. This fight would have never happened.
Because Larry was taking on people he knew he could beat trying to overtake Marciano's 49-0 mark.
Professional boxing makes no sense.
He had the Frazier name. Joe rushed him to the title shot
🤮$$$$
I respect Joe Frazier, but his son didn’t have any business being in that ring with Larry Holmes. Larry had more title defenses than Marvis had fights.
This why I love RUclips I can remember watching this fight over my uncle house may he rest in 🕊️ but he had the Jerry curl out this 🌎😅
😊
Marvin and Joe both got that "same look" on their faces they came to center ring against Mike Tyson with! 😂😂😂
Nice bit of theatre from Holmes.
Never ready
I remember watching this fight live
Loved Joe as a fighter but this thing of staring down Marvis' opponent like he was fighting him was lame. Almost got Marvis killed against Tyson

@@TechnoLawyerthere is a thing call upsets Leon spinks had 7 fight and beat ALi
@ but Ali was old and sick at that point. Holmes was in his prime when he fought Marvis. Big difference.
@@TechnoLawyer Larry was already 34. He wasn't in his prime and he was thinking about retirement.

Smokin Joe was a man amongst boys that knew boxing inside and out. Can't believe he let his son take this fight so early in his career.
Back when NBC was real
I don't know if this massacre is really a classic.

Don't think so.
This version of Holmes would have been even more easy for Tyson to beat since he was more aggressive.
@@tom11zz884 Yep.. prime Holmes at the peak of his career would be an easier fight than this totally washed up old Holmes. great logic.
They Would of Been better off , lettin Joe fight him😅
Are you going to upload any pipino cuevas fights

LARRY HOLMES
GREAT CHAMPION!!!
Larry was always well measured. Sized Marvis up for the right, and that was it. Total mismatch. Holmes right hand always underestimated.
I never liked how Holmes held with his left so he could throw his right.
Damn I forgot how bad larry beat that boy
Marvis Frazier was very good as an amateur but not as a professional. It could beat subpar or aging professionals but not much more than that.
They threw Jr into the fire Wayyyyy too soon!!! They destroyed what could have been of his career imo
Marvis was NO challenge for 44-0 Larry Holmes, who thought this was a good idea?🥴
Marvis a light heavy at best. Joe did him an injustice throwing him in the heavy weight division against the best in the world. Joe trying to recapture the glory years.
The Eastan assassin, enough said
@rodneyedwards3431 ...Easton*
a mismatch....poor guy wasnt ready
Now I remember why I stopped watching the sport of boxing. This fight should have never taken place. I hold Joe Frasier responsible.
Marvis had no business even in the ring
I really wished back then that Joe Frazier would come out of retirement and seek revenge, for his sons bad loss and destroy Larry , ,, in their prime joe Frazier would destroy Larry Holmes , that's my opinion
His wife looks like him.
Marvis had no business in the ring with Larry Holmes.
Clearly Marvin father made this happen , which imo should of never happened.
10-0. A joke. It was a joke 40 years ago on network television. You can see immediately the difference between a champion and a club fighter.
SMH 😢😮
What a mismatch
He lost but won only in America loser who look different win😮
Larry Holmes was a much better man than Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali. Lived entirely different lives. Respected Holmes not Clay/Ali.
Joe Frazier en su mejor momento la habría ganado sin problema a larry holmes, pero su hijo estaba muy lejos de ser un gran boxeador
Big daddy took him out
Blame smoking joe on this carnival
Easton p.
Smash🎉
Why was he even in the ring Frasier son is not a fighter he doesn't have the same thing that his father had.
This is crazy! They're talking about the fight likes it already happened.
marvis is a womans name, ironic wen u watch this fight too
this is why holmes doesnt always get the respect from some people cause of fighting people like this, be like fury or usyk fighting unbeaten moses itauma,fabio wardley or justis huni,not credible fights, how did marvis fraser get this shot at the title i'm sure we can name a few fighters at the time who deserved the shot more, he got the shot because he is smokin joes son, lets face it.....
I don't think that logic works because Tyson fought Frazier after this. Holmes is a prize fighter. If the cash is right, why not.
@@Will-ke7kv so how much did holmes get for this fight,
@@riverdean7 His purse was around 3 millions dollars.

Stopped way too late! He was helpless.
He was done after the first knockdown.
The fight was stopped so he didn't suffer the exact same punishment he suffered against Mike Tyson when the fight was stopped too late. Tyson nearly killed him. What good is having a referee if they sit back and allow you to be killed?
If he lives, he lives. If he dies, he dies.
He copied Ali from the Quarry fight
Did you know? Both Frazier senior & marvis jnr beat britains joe bugner..
And bugner went the distance with Ali and almost won
marvis would've been outboxed by the bugner that Joe Frazier stepped in the Ring with ..
@@cruiser6260bugger got diced up in the first bout and definitely didn't almost win the second 😅
@@active.7universal yeah no doubt, marvis boxed bugner a decade after his dad. My point was it was a very rare statistic..
@active.7universal cut in 1st didn't stop them going full 12 rounds with only 3 point margin. Pretty damn good against arguably The Greatest
Disgusting!!!
