More than one person thought that Ali won the fight with Berbick.

[@AbeRam-p1t]

It’s part of being too obsessive as a sports fan why certain boxers get unnecessary hate. Berbick and Holmes beating Ali got them a lot of hate, De La Hoya beating Chavez got him a lot of hate, Lennox Lewis beating Mike Tyson got him a lot of hate. Realistically we know a lot of those guys were out of there prime/ addicted to drugs but imagine if the challengers had turned down those fights?! They would have still gotten hate and even worse they’d also get accused of “ducking.”

[@mandarkastronomonov2962]

Man, I watched his world middleweight title winning fight against Frank Tate a million times. What a talented fighter.

Yall hate Larry because he did his job too well?? That's always been weird to me.

Yall should be mad at Ali team for putting him in there. Nobody says "take it easy on LeBron because he's old. Don't make him look bad.

Holmes was Ali's sparring partner for years and didn't go pro until his later years, and probably because Ali told him to. Holmes did not want that fight and he was barely hurting him because Ali wasn't throwing any punches himself. I see most of yall don't remember that fight.

[@Ricky-sb7bf]

@@elijaharvinger1178 I believe Holmes gave him that fight to put money in his pocket. You could tell at times that fight was painful for Holmes. I don't think Ali threw 3 punches in that entire fight. It was almost like he had some kind of brain-lock. It's obvious that fighting style is directly from Ali too, and it's obvious that why Holmes and Cossell had the same type of relationship as he did Ali. Holmes was a great champ, man.
