Mohamed Ali bless his soul, should never challenged Larry Holmes especially when he was out of action for three years. Larry Holmes prove to be Indeed champion by all means. Life is about commitment to follow dreams and achievement. I respect Larry for his intelligence investing cleverly. 👍
Was he underrated though? Everyone knew he was good. Even his idol, Ali, knew it too.
Larry Holmes looked like a comedian. He never fought Foreman, Joe Frazier. He fought an already brain dead Ali and almost lost his life against Tyson. He fought bums for most part of his career that's why he never got his recognition.
Spot on.
Drop that bud Crawford one
Meanest jab Boxing Ever and a punching machine
Joe, i absolutely love your videos but if i could make one suggestion, it would be to skip the AI upscaling of the old footage, it´s very distracting. If you can't find footage in good resolution then just leave some black boarders on the edges, that's totally fine. I have worked in graphics and video editing for 20 years and this upscaling trend really worries me, in many ways i feel it is worse than compression artifacts. Thank you for the amazing docs i look forward to each one.
Did tyson eat holmes breakfeast how yo lie about 48 -to 0????
Tyson fuck bis braun out of his body….what a legend he is? A motherfucked by tyson champ we should call him
He was a talent. I never cared for him. I think, stretching back forty years, Carl Williams beat him on points, but you have to knock the champ out.
If he fought Ali in his prime what would happen??? Another question if Tyson fought him in his prime what would happen??? 🤔🤔🤔
Would you ever revise Muhammad Ali’s documentary?
Nice 👍 video
Underrated yes but the most underrated will be Wladimir Klitschko who everyone threw dirt on as weak but was untouchable for over a decade in his division.
6:01 😂😂😂 people leaving fast 😂
Great fighter with fast accurate hands who lacked quality opponents in their prime. Mopping up ageing champions was his legacy.
Gotta think Holmes had financial collapse at some point to keep fighting into his damn 50s.
so fast, so powerful, with the best jab in history, a deadly quick and a powerful cross, deadly right uppercut, hooks. easily in the top 5 heavyweight boxers of all time in my opinion.
Would love to see a video on Joe Calzaghe…
If all the greats are aged 24, Larry beats them all. You can only judge a fighter in the era he fought in.
What an amazing and skilled fighter 🔥🔥🫡🫡
You did not just mumble a bunch of random shit while Sly was on screen 😂😂😂😂😂😂
he hits so hard he can turn me brain into a home stereo system
