That's called self pride not false pride , Undisputed Mr. Larry Holmes !!!
Without Holmes heavyweight boxing would of been stale from 78 till the late 80's.He never got the credit he deserved
Maybe until '86 Tyson beat Berbick that year.
The is nobody like larry,I Miss me,now I'm is the time for you to please to. Jehovah god it's only. Hope for humanity.
Larry is a legend!!
Larry is one of top five of all time,God bless Larry and family,a true champion.
This guy was tremendous - I don't know why he feels that he is ignored by fans ? A great champion with awesome jab, superb chin and determination. You don't get over 20 defences unless you're a great but he shouldn't be so defensive about his time as champ. Also his fight against Tyson was a courageous display.
What a fighter this guy was !
Larry's the Man. Most underrated Heavyweight Champion.
What I like about him is he is not broke. Didn't let the system beat him .
looking for larry's documentary was put out about 10 years ago, cant find it
well done Radio good interview one of my real heroes of the sport
Larry Holmes is the second greatest heavyweight of all time...Ali #1...Holmes is #2...both in their prime would have been a great match...a legend and my favorite fighter is Larry...what a great fighter!
i still remember the first fight i ever saw him in , that was against marvin frazier , he was impressive , i never forget the 'no look' punches he trew , amazing
True legend!
Hard to compare for the best ever from all the decades. The late 70s and early 80s were the golden era of the HW. Shavers, LyleHolmes, Norton, Ali, Quarry, Foreman and Frazier. These incredible boxers were then followed by Larry Holmes, Cooney, and Tyson.
The 6 fights that they said I lost I didn't really lose???????? I didn't think there was much doubt against Tyson.
still bitter
He doesn’t count that cos King tricked him into a short preparation after a long layoff.... he says... he also clearly lost to Holyfield. But the other 4 he really was screwed.
@@dlebs ya the two Spinks fights were pretty debatable if you ask me. But he still got man handled by Tyson. If he didn’t have enough time to prepare he shouldn’t have taken the fight
@@Ditka-89 Spinks lost both fights imo, his style was bad and he sucked.
@@makaveli3189 he talked shit about the judges before both fights. They robbed him because they disliked him
All time great
Hi Larry love you champ God Bless you friend !
My Champion !!!
Let's have a really good documentary made on this great champion. AS he said his name is in the phone book. Any prospective documentary makers out there.
Holmes vs Foreman,Tyson vs Frazier are 2 fights id love to see
Class.........
Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes are genuine guys. Ali was wrong to call Joe an Uncle Tom, Ignorant, and a Gorilla. That was fucked up! I believe later on Ali apologized but he'd really hurt Joe and his kids. Ali crossed the line there!!! Anyway I love Ali just the same. Larry don't lie, it's not in his DNA. BTW Larry won the championship from Norton and the interviewer should have done a bit of research!!!
Really great interview. Great questions and it moved along very well. Video needs work. Should frame their heads at the top. We don't need to see 1/3 of the frame filled with background. Focus gets off near the end too.
Fresh out of 2 year retirement and not even a month of training and thrown in the ring with a great champ in mike and still lasted longer than young men in prime gettin knocked out in first minute of first round, he woulda outboxed tyson when in shape at 40 lol but believe what you like mike was severely overrated the best guy he beat was a out of shape older larry holmes.
Damn to this day i hate that he didn't break Rocky marcianos record 48-0 before losing his first fight so close but yet so far.
Holmes was a great heavyweight.
The greatest boxer Larry Holmes.
Rocky couldn't carry your jock strap Larry i will say it for you no matter what context you say it in damn its the truth.
Everyone want to be the greatest Ali stared boxing at the age of 12 he won so many gold medals,that's is why he is the one and only the greatest. Holmes, Frazier Foreman or Ken couldn't measure up to what Ali did or accomplished.
In depth? In 9 minutes while outside?
I am so sick of the claim that Larry never got the credit he deserved, no one has ever taken anything away from him but the fact is that he had a persona that turned people off and he never fought the pantheon of greats just made people not care. He beat a few washed up people but his time at champ never had great contenders. Larry is one heck of a boxer and he could take a punch, had he started earlier things might have been different but no one has taken anything away from him, people just don't care...but you can't take away his legacy and time as the champ.
Lies. Get out your feelings.
Holmes vs Foreman would of been a great fight. Don't know why it didn't happen
But Black Dynamite I Sell Drugs to the Community! Larry would have beat George...
Big george didn't wanna fight Larry. That s that.
That's what shows in the available information on the subject too. Foreman didn't want any part of a fight with Holmes. Unless....they got an offer of 20 mil each or an offer that couldn't be refused by either of them.
Also Foreman couldn't beat Ali so he wouldn't have beaten Holmes, end of story.
@@connshawnery6489 Larry was to the point he'd fight Foreman for almost free he actually stopped for a minute one point George would not fight him and came up with more b******* than its $2 grills this is nothing bad or false say against big George he wouldn't fight quarry the bellflower bomber
he wouldn't fight Larry Holmes
The Easton assassin and there were several others he would not fight others as well😉each of the facts not fluff and the fight tonight is so pathetic it's a circus show one's got a pot gut 🙄and the other one looks like he's going to have a baby live and the guest referee for tonight's circus event Roy Jones jr. Has got Antonio tarver 🤭Glenn Johnson🤭 and his corner and little Mike Tyson's got Danny Green🤫 buster Douglas🤫 Danny Williams 😳and Kevin McBride😖 in his corner let the popcorn pop this one's a turd 😭😉🤗
Larry Holmes had a stable mate sparing partner in the Ali days. Larry says in his book he was scared of fighting him, and when he did fight him, he struggle to beat him. Anther Unknown fighter who went under the boxing radar and never made the big time.
I'm with you Larry,You were a great Champ.....Larry Didn't Dethrone Ali For The Heavyweight Title In Reality.....Holmes Won The Title By Beating Ken Norton In A Close 15 Round Fight......Holmes vs Norton Is A Great Fight,Real Close Fight.....If Norton Won Things Would Have Been A Lot Different,Holmes Defended His Belt Over 20 Times After Winning The Belt Of Norton,Norton vs Holmes Is A Great Fight To Watch.
The facts are in the pudding.
Did he just claim he didn’t actually lose in all 6 of his losses? His loss to Tyson was brutal. Wtf is Larry talkin bout
Much respect but holmes was jealous of ali period....ali is the greatest and holmes is top 3..
Larry was a good boxer but not at the same level as Ali or Foreman
#1-Joe Louis
#2-Ali
#3-Larry Holmes
#4-Evander Holyfield
#5-Jack Johnson
Wrong homie....1. Ali, 2 Jack Johnson, 3 Mike Tyson, 4 Larry Holmes, 5. Joe Fraiser
1 Ali 2 tyson 3 Louis 4 Langford 5 marciano
Y’all list are terrible 😂
Think you lost against Tyson tbf.
Larry would've destroyed rocky minus the mafia
Larry was a great fighter, that did not get the respect he deserved but unfortunately did bot have great charisma or unfortunately the best public speaker so he lost a lot with commercials and opportunities to broadcast boxing.
Larry H only fault coming after M Ali,but 4 me he is better than Ali technically,but Ali is better cause he overcame his limitations,& beated hard punchers.
His jab better than Mohammed's
Never undisputed
Well.. Muhammad Ali not lost cause of age i guess, but he lost cause parkinson had already kicked in
Very bitter man always on about money and what he said about rocky marciano was a disgrace
Steven Finch he was poor, he doesn’t want that for his family, and honestly Larry would of beat the shit out of Marciano 7 days a week and twice on Sunday
@@Jumpman90 100 percent angles jab speed and far more
I agree. Larry Holmes was a jealous and bitter man. He is the only heavyweight champion who had to use thumb less boxing gloves. He blames his lack of popularity on Ali , however ,in 7 years as champion, he only had 2 pay per view fights! Who's fault was that Larry. Homles was boring and didn't know how to sell himself to the public. To say he was boring is an understatement. He should have taken some of that money and bought himself a personality. Also Ken Norton should have been given a rematch.
@@elliottswinton3960 Lies. Larry didn't use thumbless gloves, he had same gloves everybody else has.
His post conference speech after losing to Spinks is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. He talked crap on the judges, the fans, Spinks, the sport of boxing, Marciano, Marciano’s family. Freaking hilarious
Well.. Muhammad Ali not lost cause of age i guess, but he lost cause parkinson had already kicked in
