Smoking Joe was keeping it real...Holmes was acting like Mike was nothing new😁
@@Ehrle6969 it was mike Tyson in his prime fighting an old retired Larry holmes
@@Razah. holmes had a title fight in his 40s and didn't retire until he was in his 50s, mike would've whooped him in his prime, let's not give him that excuse, especially considering the fact that he beat up an old ali with Parkinsons.
@@eurirotk holmes retired in 1985 for year and half then came out of retirement for 1 fight then retired again in 86 and in 1988 came out of retirement to fight mike Tyson. That’s equivalent to 4 years inactivity at his age is brutal for the human body, bare in mind holmes also had 12+ years of an abused body vs a fresh prime mike Tyson, Do you even know boxing bro?
Joe Fraizer is always a Gentleman. Truthful man
Ali sitting there like ; "The kid kept his promise and I'm proud of him."
Larry Holmes beat an old Ali ..but didn't want to make him suffer and called on the ref many times to stop the fight out of respect...Ali and Holmes had massive respect for each other. Tyson bear an old Holmes .
How dare Larry Holmes , Mike would have cleaned all their clocks plain and simple including Clay
“who?” Holmes got punched so hard by mike he forgot he fought him
@@jonathanisom1600 even in their prime Holmes gets no where near Tyson. His style was all wrong for Holmes. Holmes always struggled with shorter fighters that moved around a lot. Holmes wouldn't have beaten Ali if Ali was in his prime also. That's just the facts although a good fighter holmes fought many fighters who were well bellow his level that's just the era he was in like fury now. When he got tested he was found out and just being salty makes him looks worse. Both Ali and Frazier where better fighters than Holmes and stood a better chance in their prime of beating Tyson but even they are being humble. I have no respect for Holmes anymore.
Larry took that ass whoopin personal 😂
Why did I read this comment with the voice of Jack Jenkins from Harlem Nights? 😂😂😂😂
Larry was 75 years old when he fought Tyson
~ old man in barbershop, voice
Joe was a class act dude
Joe was one of the smallest heavyweights of all-time.a class act.the best conditioned heavyweight fighting all those monsters in the 70's.that left hook was the best in the business.ehen he hit Ali with that punch I did not think Ali was getting up.that was Ali's curse and one of his best attributes.the best chin in heavyweight history brought him fame and Parkinson's.
Ali’s silence and smirk tells what everyone needs to know 😂
you can hear him say speak for yourself if you listen closely😂 Ali was the man
@@jaysonb.6669 I’m not sure If he did, but I hope you’re aware of roids not being able to enhance strength.
Joe knew a GREAT fighter because he was one himself!
Joe had the best explanation. He didn't narrow down Mike, he gave him his props also while acknowledging everyone else.
'this guys a monster'' means he knows Tyson would have been a handful even for them ; ]
Ali was looking at Larry like “you’re lucky I got Parkinson’s, dog”
Ali taught Larry how to box.. and if Ali didn’t have Parkinson’s disease he would of beaten Larry
@@Mac1993. for sure if ali faced em about 5 years prior he would've done him bad
@@Mac1993. yeah sure but Larry still would’ve been champ after Ali don’t discredit Larry with ifs and buts.
Ali was sitting there like: “yea sucka, he got you for my payback” lol. Joe was just telling it like it is.
Ali gave Joe that look and he knew exactly what to say 😂
Frazier , always a gentleman and an absolute warhorse in a boxing ring
If you go back and watch it again, you can hear Ali say “Speak For Yourself” 😂😂😂
I did it that's crazy he really said that bruh thank you I would have never known
Yeah, I heard it the second time around. thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for pointing it out. Had to go listen again after reading this comment
Joe was a real one. From the fighting city of Philadelphia.
Yeah, but he left for Philadelphia at 15 and trained exclusively there throughout his career. Raised his family there and trained dozens of young fighters there in his gym.
@@johnnichols3113he was 19 when he got to Philly he didn't leave Beaufort SC until he was 17 actually he moved to NYC before he got to Philly. He was a car theif in NYC. He moved to Philly because he was able to get a job at the Meat packing plant (Stallone stole Joe's story).
Rip Smokin Joe, I worked alongside one of your grandchildren, he’s a good guy.
This is why i love joe. He always kept it real
@@leofrancis6523 ali and holmes would beat tyson in their prime.. but i think tyson would take joe
@@youngboss9060 joe started slowly so tyson only victory would be 1-3 round knockout. But I think joes impeccable chin and defence would take it later rounds and once their there joe would steam ahead.
@@leofrancis6523 thats true. Joe fight like someone who is high on pcp, the dude could take anything u threw at him
@@youngboss9060 yeah Evan with Foreman knocking him down, Joe got up and was ready to fight more
Ali was silent cause he knew Mike was an absolute monster
Not really..got found out in the olympic trials...after that steered carefully in pro career and lost to the first fighter who stood up to him.
Mike did great things but Larry's right.
The best "speak for yourself" that I've heard in my life!
Ali’s like “I should whoop your ass right now for saying something so dumb about iron mike.” 😂
Ali saying "speak for yourself" LEGEND 🙌
He right except Kenn Norton. This is because these fighters can take a punch and had great stamina. Tyson can not take a good shot and he has the notability to run out of gas if he doesn't knock you out with the first 5 rounds!
@@ericsmith3685 Mike Tyson had an iron chin, he also had good conditioning in his prime, if he gassed out against Ruddock he would have lost that fight.
@@ericsmith3685 Do you think someone who cannot take a shot would have dominated his era like pretty much nobody else in the history of Boxing?
It's absurd how brutally Mike knocked out every single opponent within the first rounds.
Hate him or think he is overrated but whatever you do don't talk like he wasn't an amazing fighter because that just makes you sound like a clown.
You are probably talking about old Mike but rating a boxer on his aged form is worthless.
I like Tyson but those guys was scared to fight him! I'm talking about Ali, Holmes and Frazier. These guys has stamina and took good shots and still knocked their opponents out! They had a must toughercand more talented era of fighters back then! Luke today's heavyweights, they couldn't have stood a chance!
Ali made the snoring sound when Larry acted like he didn’t know Mike!😂 Like you remember him the one that put you to sleep😂
If Smokin' Joe Frazier praises you, it means that you must be good!
Old Joe saw what Tyson did to his son Marvis. Seeing Tyson live made everyone a believer.
LOL Larry Holmes was salty!!! LOL
Haha salty af. Duran was the same towards Mayweather. Sad to see.
I enjoy Larrys take. Out of all the greats sitting in that council I'd expect him to have a hot take.
Ali said speak for yourself 🤣🤣😂 I'm not going to say anything 🙊 speak for yourself. Ali looking like know way we can.
No one could stop Tyson in his prime. Unstoppable force of nature, when he stepped in the ring the fight was already decided
Buster Douglas squirshed him.
Or was he suddenly “out of his prime” for that one ? If so that’s a short MF’n prime
1986-88 ??
Maybe he was out of his prime but then back into it for Peter McNeeley ??
@ezsmith3765 mike under cus I think was a force like no other once he was gone that truly was the demise of mike, he became extremely lost
@@kp-ig9ex people always holler cus and Mike had issues... Every fighter had life going on. It's all relative to your situation. Managers are one thing but at the end of the day when you're in the ring it's all about you as an individual and how well you prepaid
Here's truth: Nobody in that room would've whipped Tyson in his prime. But Cassius Clay would have mincemeat out of him.
Yup. "Every punch of Tyson was for a cause and a reason, he was a Marksman" Love those words from Joe.
Joe was a realist ; payin Tyson his due
Holmes was a great fighter ; but think he s wrong about this
None of these legends would have been capable of taking Mike Tyson blows.
How many of them could finish of guys in the first round on a steady basis in their prime?
@@tarijohn1924 Joe Frazier definitely could he took blows from young foreman and got up over 5 times
@@UA-camCO713 But Tyson must have had a heavier and more powerful punch than Foreman.
Holmes:" Who"? Interviewer:" You know the dude that knocked your ass out cold like Craig did D-bo"!
Bruh i swear word for word these were my thoughts 😆😆😆😆😆 thank you for posting this comment 💯🤞🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🫡
Mike tyson was a killing machine,these men where great boxers but as joe said he was and is a monster
Joe Frazier speaks the truth and he’d destroy all of them 👊🏽💥
Ali whispering speak for yourself is everything 😂😂😂
@@idklol4197 no chance Ali was like a dancer every move was perfect but tyson is like a nuke don't matter how much u dance he will kill everything in ten miles
Ali being sarcastic without a word. 🤣
The most Legendary moment in commentary boxing with some of the greatest legends at the table 🙌 Larry was lucky muhammad couldn't speak n tyson wasn't there.
Dude Tyson would absolutely flatline any one In that Room in their Prime.
Not only did Tyson tell Ali he’d get him and actually did. That was Cus’ boy and Boxing prodigy. It’s actually deep between them because of how cool Ali was with Cus.
Joe Frazier was a real one. He gave Mike his well-deserved due. Larry was always hatn'. "Who?" N*#ga you know who.
@Joske Vermeulen
Exactly... and what choice did he have? If he had not taken ali seriously then he would've also been severely criticized.
Basically Holmes was simply doing his job. Ali was the loudmouth punching bag that couldn't let go of the past and ended up taking a severe, and much-deserved beating.
Well in Larry's defence, Mike did knock him out and he might have forgotten they fought
@Joske Vermeulen
Yes. That's why I started my comment with "exactly". I fully agree
Joe Frazier was a class act.
Ali, Frazier & Foreman at the same time was a once in a lifetime deal.
Holmes is trying to be involved with them.
Not a chance.
Even how gritty and raw Joe Frazier was as a brawler he knows who Tyson was and Ali already know about Mike himself
“This guy is a marksman” - what an honour to be credited so by the Man who beat the Man. Joe is an all-time great hands-down
Hell of course he’d agree the way he beat his son ass in 30seconds in his face with the same style as Joe
My man never got over how much Tyson folded him up. Legend has it he’s still unfolding. Till this day and dats why he so mad.
U can hear Ali softly say, “Speak for yourself.” It’s real quick but he said it.
Yes he did. Because Ali and Joe are real men. Larry got his ass whooped by Mike and he knew then that he could have never survived in the ring with Mike Tyson at any point in his career. The ONLY heavyweight in my lifetime who could have probably stayed with Tyson in his prime would have been Ali. Ali was a true boxer and he had 10 times more heart than any modern heavyweight. So he might have been able to take Iron Mike. Frazier, Holmes, Foreman, none of them would have beaten Mike in his prime
@@archieadams4841 at any point in his career is a stretch, Holmes was a great fighter in his prime. Probably would’ve been a great fight if they were both in their respective prime.
What a legend of boxers I agree with what he's saying
Mike in his prime was a monster devouring everyone .
No one could have beaten him.
@@avtomat4881 foreman said that he was scared of mike and ali even said that he would've gone to sleep if mike hits him lol so what's your point? 🤷🤷
@@naenae9747 foreman came back mainly to destroy Tyson he did all he could to call him out he called him out on interviews tv shows and Tyson said that he doesn’t want to fight this animal lol and ducked him
tyson fought well against: spinks, ruddock. everyone else was either unknown or way past his prime. or tyson lost
I think Larry was rather angry at Mike for the knockout.
Mike is the one that should’ve been upset because Larry’s face beat the fuck out of his hand
@@riceflatpicking4954 🤣 🤣 🤣 ol flabby Larry was hating like hell. Mean while Mike knocked THEE FUCK outta Joe's son n Joe is still giving Mike the respect he deserves 👏
“speak for yourself” quietly in the background. Rest easy Ali. 🕊️
Was waiting for this comment . Ali i love how ali always spoke for himself .
I replayed it because of this and wow, good catch, because they didn't even acknowledge it. Holmes was out of pocket in that one.
Ali: "Speak for yourself" 😂
Larry was hating because he got clapped by Tyson. And Ali and Frazier kept it 💯
The love between Ali and Tyson❤. Ali spoke for Tyson when he could speak, and Tyson spoke for him when he couldn’t
Frazier and Ali, man those were fights.
Ali was like “speak for yourself “😂😂
@@Only1Kizz That wasn’t the premise of that comment. He was a humble guy and prolly would’ve but telling Holmes to speak for yourself was a knock on Holmes. Not himself.
@@Only1Kizz hell nah Cus D’amatos Mike? Nope no one could get into his head. You’re talking out your ass
Ali knows they are way to big headed. Ali looked at them like “u can’t be serious” holding back laughter.
There is a reason why the great Larry Holmes has become a footnote and it's on display here.
Larry: "Anybody in this room would have been able to beat Mike tyson"
Ali: n i g g a
w h a t ?
holmes lost to tyson the same way he beat ali. but when he won it was cus he’s better, when he lost it’s because he’s old. when in reality he’s just shit and the best win of his career was literally against a disabled old man.
When one guy acts like everyone in the room agrees with him, but nobody does, lol.
They don't agree with the disrespect, and they gave him his flowers. But no one SAID Mike would beat them. Just showing respect
The good old boys approach? Yeah, this is very very prevalent in America and just pretending that you are right is a cultural approach and people getting behind you and making you be right even though it is not grounded and Truth usually for profits is what we call the American way
@@rodneybrooks4792 no self-respecting Boxer would ever say anybody would beat them. When has that ever happened?
Iron Mike in his prime would have walked through all of them in their prime. Including Ali. He was an absolute wrecking ball. Smokin’ Joe called it.
To say that after he almost killed his son and speak so highly of him that takes a great man. Joe was such a class act.
If you listen close in the beginning when Larry is trying to discredit Mike Ali says “Speak for yourself”. Amazing respect
Killer realizes killer
Smoking Joe Frazier
LEGEND
WARRIOR
Joe Frazier absolutely nailed it.
But Larry just playing jealous.
I love the fact that Joe mentioned that MIKE is a marksman 🔥🔥🔥
His skills are way underrated. Those same skills with even just another 4 inches of height and he might be the greatest heavyweight ever.
Larry Holmes had the audacity to say "who" like Mike Tyson didn't knock him out.
Ali in the back "Speak for yourself"
Frazier, truly great man. What a compliment and a truth. A marksman, enough said.
He beat the brakes of his nephew. Frazier knows what’s up lol. Although what Larry’s saying has merit. Maybe Ken Norton, Frazier would have struggled but Ali and Holmes are both better versions of Lennox Lewis… And we all saw what Lennox did to Mike
@@Robinson496 Keep in mind though, the Tyson that lost to Holyfield and Lewis was not prime Tyson...prime Tyson would've destroyed both of them imo.
@@JabEdits567 Maybe, maybe not...there's a damn good chance prime Tyson might knock Joe out.
@@XThirdEyeX Lennox yes, Holyfield no. Mike was 30 years old and definitely in his prime. Just because he lost a fight, it doesn't mean he wasn't in his prime, it just means Holyfield was better on the night. Holyfield isn't a bum, he's a HOFer for a reason. I'm sure Mike could beat Holyfield on his night, but on record Holyfield is the one who won both those fights.
I love the "You'd never had heard of him". 😂
Joe was like,"To HELL with that FOOLISHNESS Larry".
That's why I have always had an immense amount off respect for Frazier, a great man, a great boxer and truly one off the most humble boxers to ever do it
Yeah well said Jack Mildwaters not a talker like Ali , always did his talking in the ring
The way Ali looked at him says it all
Smokin' Joe was class here.
Ali was jus looking at Larry like, how you gone say that about him, I was there that night💯🤣🤣
Tyson kicked Larrys ass all over the ring, hell I was limping around for a week just because I watched it
Larry was actually doing well until the 4th round. Not bad for a semi retired guy who was almost 40 years old.
@@jasonmoody4219 Mike Tyson is the only man to ko Larry Holmes, 4 years latee at 42 holyfield had a tough fight with Larry and undefeated Ray Mercer actually lost to old Larry Holmes,
Give Tyson some credit Larry was past his prime but still potent.
@@NoName-vb4pc it's not just about his age. It's about the timing of when the fight happened. Larry hadn't fought in a year and a half and was coming off of the losses to Michael Spinks when he got in the ring with Tyson. With Holyfield he had been active for over a year and had won six straight fights. I'm not necessarily saying it would've made a difference either way but it is something to think about.
Wow legends right there. I wanna see this whole interview
Muhammed Ali and Mike tyson the Best of all time legend and my favorit
Ali looking at larry like you still mad I got my young blood to avenge my loss 😂💯
I don’t know why people think Tyson beating an aging Holmes avenges Ali. Cause at the end aid the day, Holmes still destroyed an aging Ali.
@@angelorivera5884 what's your point you're trying to make? It's not tysons fault. That Larry wanted the damn fight. And was older. Not tysons fault when he was born 😂💯
@@keithkeef6635 thank you Larry wanted the fight so did Tyson and when iron won he made that man bitter that his fault but I agree
My god imagine these legends TOGETHER on a talk show today.
I think social media would crash that day
Joe reaction was like speak for yourself dammit 😂😂😂😂
Hats off to Joe
Frazier was so friendly and quick to congratulate others. People should have reminded him more often that he was a legend too.
Never seen this before. Wow. You could see Ali's reaction he was in agreement with Frazier. They both think Holmes is full of shit 😂
Salty Holmes : Who?
The presenter : You know. The guy whom you had your last fight. 💀☠️
Larry Holmes has always hated Tyson for no reason.
Ali:Ya right,i wanna see the one who got knocked out less than 30 second 😂😂😂
Ali to Tyson: Get him for me.. 😎🔥🤝
@@jasonmoody4219 It literally did. You not only see Ali mouth it to Tyson, prior to the first bell vs Holmes, but Tyson himself confirmed it after the fight.
Yeah I saw the clip too you can see Ali mouth it to Tyson and then climb out of the ring right at the start of the fight.
they all sat there with doubt in their minds, even Ali is looking at him like boy you crazy
If Ali had been able to you know he would be yelling at Larry in support of Tyson 😂
Ali had that look saying "man you's crazy"
"This guy is a marksman." Greak quote and good on you, Joe. Holmes is bitter AF
*Joe remembers when Mike absolutely destroyed Marvis and that moment of destruction never left his memory 💀
Tyson damn near killed Joe’s son so Joe saw first hand how viscous of a puncher Tyson was.
Joe is a legend and Marvis is in terms of boxing a nobody. So don’t compare those two
joe said calm down there pal
Ali's was lookin like "nigga stop lyin
The goat just sitting there like u Salty Larry 🤣
Ali looking at Larry like he wanted to run it back right then and there! Lol. Larry so salty, it's actually pathetic! Much respect to Joe and Ali for keeping it 💯
larry holmes is a legend tho. greatest heavyweight champ since ali cmon man. tyson overrated af
larry holmes is overrated. He could look good, but then he could look really bad. I think his loss to spinks speaks volumes. Larry and Tyson i think have the same resumes more or less. Larry's
@@austinlittke5580 tyson only ever fought 4 hall of famers in his 60 fight career and only beat 2, one of them being a 38 year old larry holmes who hadn’t fought in 2 years. ali fought 18 hall of famers and beat 17 for context. tyson is the most overrated boxer of all time
@@cameronsmith3608 i wasnt comparing tyson to ali...i was comparing him to holmes...Holmes is overrated and basically has the same resume as tyson
When the Goat Ali, Smokin Joe Frazier and the Big George praise ya, you're not who got overrate, you're just simply great.
Ali said “speak for yourself”. So quiet its easy to miss. Must have been so hard for Ali to have had to be the quiet one in the room for so much of his life
I listened again because of this comment and heard it the second time. It was quick but he did say it. His face said it too
I just heard too. Crazy sad
Ty for pointing that out. Would've missed it
thank you!
Thanks. Overheard it but thank you I heard it now. Important note by the champ. Tyson is a goat and probably the best after ali
