One of the greatest heavyweight title fights. Larry was one of the great champions. Who had harder left jab and the heart of Lion. But I wanted Kenny to win this one so bad,the guy really paid his due s .So close, wouldn't want to be scoring this one.Rest in Peace Kenny.

This Fight, And His 2 Fights With Ernie Shavers, Made Larry Holmes A Household Name! 🥊 But His Main Problem Was The Fact That He Was Caught Between Muhammad Ali & Mike Tyson, And He Never Unified The Titles. That's Why His Name Is Seldom Mentioned, And He's Often Overlooked. 😓

Larry Holmes win

Holmes will always be remembered for the unnecessary beating he gave an aging Mohammed Ali. Definitely contributed to Ali turning into a vegetable.

You got the purse figures wrong on your writeup on this clip. If you refer to page 167 of Ken Norton's biography, GOING THE DISTANCE, Norton writes that the purse was $3,700,000 for himself and $500,000 for Larry Holmes.

The figures are copy n pasted from Boxrec , maybe these purse figures are after tax .

Holmes would have been handed his arse on a flat, if Muhammad Ali was in his prime. If Sonny Liston who was a heavy hitter, could not win over Ali, there was no chance Holmes could. Holmes fought Ali when Ali had the disease and was passed his peak

I always wanted to see Norton fight Frazier but they were good friends and wouldn’t do it. I’m sure Joe would have knocked him out.

"The best form of defence is attack"...Norton took this methodology to extremes: he had no techincal "art" in preventing Holmes hitting him.
