Holy moly that is wild is it a bird is it a plane no its a heavyweight champion D

Did they say Holmes was 41? Well I think he was 38 v Tyson so that would make it about 1991 around the time Holmes beat Mercer.
Anyone know the background to this? Really mad stuff

The commentary was excellent. "Larry Holmes taking a swan dive off the top rope".

i'm still shocked i've never seen this until today and they do say he's 41 but that doesnt seem right to me?

Me too. Holmes now even higher in my list of take no shit tell it like it is legends. looks like way before 91 doesn't it?

I didn't write poop. I thought it was just allegedly that was auto edit!

No big talk and bravado from Holmes he just got stuck in!

lol and then Berbick starts crying "he kicked me and and punched me" lol

Berbick was murdered a couple of years back.

Holmes is my all time favourite fighter,but i don't think he is a very nice man at all,i went to vegas to see him fight Holyfield and he was refusing to give autographs out unless i bought one of his tapes of the band that he sings in,and have you seen the pre fight build up to the Cooney fight,he claims that Cooney is retarded

Every interview with Holmes is all about money. He says it is all about money and says that he will do nothing unless their is a dollar in it for him.

He grew up poor and black in America in the 1950's, not a nice place or time to be. I am sure that there is something from those days that all the money in the world cannot change within Holmes.

We all have certain hang ups from our childhood experiences, this is clearly Holmes's one.
