Larry had so much guts, man (pun intended)

Larry was in his 40's going the distance with Evander Holyfield and Ray Mercer. I think a prime Holmes beats a prime Tyson

Mike Tyson was the only one to knock him out. Even that wasn't a knockout....I read somewhere that Larry said he stayed down because he was tired.

Larry had a damned good chin and excellent recovery powers

But he is cappin about what Mike did to him. He got put away. Man was laid out on the canvas.

Prime Holmes beats prime Tyson 8 out of 10 times

Tyson not getting past that jab and Holmes could eat huge power punches like scooby snacks

Holmes prob had the GOAT jab of all time

 

[General Mills]

Larry Holmes would lay 99% of TheColi down just like that right now. Dude is severely slept on

His jab was a work of art. He snapped that bish out so crisp.
