One of the most underrated boxers of all time, I believe he still holds the record for title defenses. Dude didn't duck anyone. Met him in Trenton once, cool dude.

Boxing's Larry Holmes, long underrated, now cast in bronze
Good looks on starting this Holmes thread breh, any opportunity to post
is always a welcome moment in my book
And if I had the guap to commission it, I'd have the moment he made contact with Berbick's chest immortalized in bronze as well

Gat dammit if that ain't an ol black man thing to say.
Chris Rock used Larry Holmes as the example of the black experience in America.
For those who won't watch the video, around the 3:42 mark:
"My dad used to say 'You can't beat white people at anything. Never. But you can knock them out.' Like, if you have 6 and the white guy has 5, he wins. If you're black, you can't let it go to the judge's decision because you're gonna lose no matter how bad you beat this man up. Larry Holmes/Gerry c00ney is the perfect example of life. Larry Holmes beats the shyt out of this guy for 11 rounds. He knocks him out in the 11th round and they had to stop the fight. The man is bloody, he's been beaten the whole fight. They go to the scorecards...Larry Holmes is losing the fight. If he didn't knock him out, he would have lost the title. And that is essentially the black experience."
