Larry Holmes.

[KOJOE90]

Has anybody got a list Larry Holmes's amateur fight?

I know he lost to Bobick in the Olympic trails, but for such a famous fighter there seems little information about his amateur record.

Can anyone help?

Larry Holmes is a piece of dog shit.

I take it you don't like him then?

Why dont you like Holmes? Is it because your copying his nickname?

Or maybe your an Italian, and your still offended by the old "Marciano couldnt hold my jock strap" comment?

Anyway, what I wanted to say is....


LArry Holmes ONLY HAD 22 AMATEUR FIGHTS?!?! Can someone confirm this???? THATS ALL HE HAD?!? Wow. I mean fighters like Roy Jones and Virgil Hill have like, 150-250 amateur fights. Tyson had a short amateur career (number of years, not fights, Im refering to), and he had 54 fights, so 22 ONLY FOR HOLMES? CAN THIS BE?!?

George Foreman also had a simular number of fights as an amatuer, as did Marciano, so it may well be true.

Wow.


Id still like to hear a final confirmation, but...


wow. The man had skills.
