yeah, remember Larry got to 48 and 0 before age caught up with him


then he came back and held his own and then some against Holyfield, McCall and Mercer in the 90's

Holmes ducked no one. Now we have "champs" picking their opponents base on beat ability.

1980's were great years for boxing. Might be my favorite decade. Although the 70's with Ali, Foreman and Frazier are classic gold. I stopped watching boxing in the 90's after the 1st UFC match in 93.

Yes, age did catch up with him but I thought he edged out Spinks in the 1st fight and clearly won ten of fifteen rounds in the rematch.

The Holmes who got stopped by Tyson was a shell of himself.  When he came back and shut out Mercer and was even with Holyfield and McCall going into the 11th, that showed just how fucking good Larry Holmes was.
He is a top 5 heavyweight of all time.

hagler for me

He had that no frills hard working style that many could relate to. Leonard was amazing but was more of a Golden Boy.

Hagler said he always shaved his head a few days before the fight so he would have rough bristles on his head which would scrape his opponents faces

True statement that cost him with the powers that be at the time.
