Jack Oden About 12 hour(s) ago I've followed professional boxing over the years. A lot of the great fighters, I barely remember, but I've seen enough videos to give me a pretty good idea of what some of the great fighters were like. I was never a Larry Holmes fan. But when he started crying after defeating Muhammad Ali, I became a Larry Holmes fan. This was one of the best displays of class I've ever seen from any fighter. #muhammadali#larryholmes

Reply by Jack Robbins About 11 hour(s) ago Larry Holmes was a great champion, but he wasn't as flashy as Muhammad Ali. A lot of people didn't like his personality. But he should be considered as one of the great ones.
Reply by Roger Duncan About 12 hour(s) ago I remember that fight well. Very sad. What impressed me about Larry Holmes in that fight was, he didn't want to hurt Ali. At the end of the fight, he was begging the referee to stop it, and he was barely touching Ali. This was one of the most memorable moments in boxing.
