The first Michael Spinks fight was close but Holmes should have got the decision. The second one was a total robbery. Holmes was retired for 2 or 3 years. One night at midnight out of the blue, Don King knocked on Larry’s door and offered him 3.5 million to fight Tyson. He had no tuneup fight and 6 weeks to train. Holmes came back and fought up into his early 50s. He beat Ray Mercer at 41 years old. He gave Holyfield a hell of a tough, close fight, way more competitive than Tyson’s 2 losses to Holyfield were. He fought Oliver McCall for the WBC belt and lost a close, narrow decision. Tyson was completely washed up at 40.
@@scottobrien8814 Holmes was also seen asking the ref to stop the Ali fight. He gets a bad wrap tbf. He has made some comments where it provokes people but that should not take away from him as a boxer. He was top class. Saying that, Does anyone beat Tyson in his prime. For me maybe Ali is the only one that could do it. I'm talking Tyson when he was the meanist moths fuckka on the planet. He was a beast, however maybe Ali was the matador. We'll never know I guess.
I think Holmes was as good as Ali and in their primes, maybe they both could beat Tyson, maybe not. I like all three but Larry Holmes is one of my all-time favorites. Great jab to the body and head with that right hand a split second behind it. Got up after being knocked down by Earnie Shavers! That was like Fury getting up after being floored by Wilder. It's too bad Foreman never fought him. Holmes was practically begging for that fight to me made when they were both in their 40s.@@kingkenny2797
Ran into Holmes in LAX couple days after the fight. Dude had his shades on and downplayed the loss by saying simply, "I'm not gonna fight them little dudes no mo'!"
It was only fear of what, return what favour? Larry Holmes was dam near old enough to be his father, Larry knew he couldn't win he did it for the money Plus this is a sport of gladiators there is no avenging or returning the favor you just go in there do what your trained to do and hope you're victorious.
Don't forget Lary was Ali Training partner, let you know his age, two of Ali's Training partner became champion. Oh and a young Larry would had jab the heck of Mike.
It would have been very difficult for Tyson if he fought the Holmes that fought Ken Norton. He was hungry, then he was robbed of his win against Michael Spinks. His only motivation to come back and continued fighting was purely out of financial reasons and instead of going the slow route like George Foreman, he made the mistake of taking the champion Mike Tyson.
Larry holmes on his day was nearly unbeatable his left jab was one of if not the best ever . Both in there primes what an inducing fight But mike in this fight is one greased up 220 lbs fighting machine mentally & physically Is a f--- killer This is the mike who should of thought Lewis & holyfeild Not when he was dimished
All due respect to Ali, and I am sure whatever Ali said probably was helpful but don’t forget Cus set him up for life with all the inspiration he could ever need.
@@Twheelz3 imagine you're a wild kid who came from crazy abuse and trauma, your father and mentor passes away while you're on top of the world with women, money, and fame. You'd go fucking mental right quick, even with great teachings
i dont think he would really beat holmes in his prime i think larry would tqke tyson in deep waters and tire him out by outboxing him. jab him every time he gets close to keep his hook and uppercut out of reach. but man oh man mikes knockouts were amazing to watch
Your mistake here is saying "I don't think" and "I think" you can "think" whatever you want. You can say whatever you want. The truth is. You'll never "Know". Even in Holmes' prime. Mike wA must have more of a specimen that Larry ever was. There was no chance he could beat Tyson. Not in any lifetime...
@@michaelwilson2151 ok im sorry "i KNOW" he would beat tyson. tyson has no heart or chin when he has to battle real boxers. he proved it time and time again
It is known Ali said to Mike "Get him for me" because as a child Mike and Ali knew each other and after Ali got beat by Holmes and Mike was crying and Cus D'MATO was on the phone with Ali saying why'd you let that bum beat on you like that? Cus put Mike on the phone with Ali and Mike told him I'm gonna get bigger and I'll get him. This is very well documented. The sad part is Larry Holmes catches hell for beating Ali but Larry was crying and begging the ref to stop the fight. After the fight Holmes was quoted yelling at the ref "shame on you, for making me beat on my hero like that".
@@floydmayweather2718that’s retarded, Ali woulda walked out the ring it he knew Larry wasn’t trying his best. Buster ended up getting mike for Larry anyway
There's different ways to win a fight and not always annihilating your opponent is the best and most prestigious of them. I've always thought Holmes went to hard on Ali in that fight and there was no need for all those heymakers to the head
I believe Holmes either beat up Ali or hit him wrongly i think when Ali was still fighting. . . BUT Ali told Tyson "Get Him For Me" & then the results were in this short. . .🤜🤛
Had Mike stuck with Kevin Rooney and kept working the peekaboo style he would have gone down as the undisputed greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Don King robbed us all of that in my opinion!
He told Mike ""GET EM""because Larry Holmes humiliated Ali in a fight with alot of taunting. Ali was old when they fought. So Mike said hed get revenge for Ali

I don't do idols but if I did mike is it. Period. He was great but what he became after the fall is what inspires me more. Cus would be proud. His biggest fight was with himself and he won.
Tyson took the most deadly weapon Holmes had in his arsenal away. That javelin jab. He closed the distance with inward movement and hooks. Brutal but strategic.
Actually similar to Joe Frazier and his “Smokin”. Tyson was more aggressive with his offensive blows as opposed to just not getting hit. Hi moved in with aggression that if a fighter didn’t meet him with the same strength and aggression they were overwhelmed. Perfect case in point Holyfield. It’s what made those fights so good.
Mike Tyson fully focused under Kevin Rooney and no outside interference what cus saidthat Tyson was unbeatable, he could and should have been the greatest ever in history but for outside interference
People forget Larry Holmes loved Ali. He didnt want to keep beating him but Ali had that warrior spirit so Larry had to punish him until it ended. Larry was baited back to boxing bc Don King left $500,000 on his table
He did not. He say some shit that he couldn't hang with frazier ali and foreman. He was up there. He would beat frazer, give a good fight with ali just foreman was all wrong for him
Holmes was ali's sparring partner for years. Picked up a lot from the greatest. He had a great record, but no one was happy to see him beat up ali way past his prime. He was in between eras, and fell through the cracks. As a kid, I didn't like him for the same reason as Tyson and everyone else, but he was a top tier heavyweight
It's about 1 last big payday for x champion. Rocky told Joe he was sorry after the fight Joe thanked him for the chance. In there mind they need to know if it's over forsure. Tyson did not need to fight Ali he needed to fight Mike. He did beat father time once with Forman.
Holmes not only was 39 years old, but took the fight on short notice. If I remember right it was less than 6 weeks. Holmes in his prime, the Holmes that fought from about 1980-84, sticks that jab in Tyson's face and takes away Tyson's ability to get inside. Tyson does not hit harder than Earnie Shavers. Holmes not only survived, but dominated most of those two fights with him.
I didn't like how Larry Holmes talked about Mike tyson like he wasn't an great heavy weight boxer like he didn't bring anything to the table!! Mike took him out!!! Show Mike some respect!!!!
The funny thing is when holmes fought Ali Muhammad was an old man who was way past his prime and Larry Holmes was in his prime which makes it the sweetest revenge for Ali because Tyson was in the peak of his prime when he worked Larry Holmes ass couldn't imagine better revenge for Ali unless he beat holmes himself
Ha! Ha! Ha! Now, Larry Holmes got knocked out! Larry Holmes brags how he beat Muhammad 'Ali, now Mike knocked out you, Larry Holmes. Thanks, Mike Tyson.
It seems to me that Tyson "forgot boxing" for this time, and he just wanted to kick the shit out of Holmes, what he perfectly did apparently. It was rather a high quality of street fight than actually a professional boxing match. But let's be fair: Having this beautiful beating up required an incredibly tough Holmes too. Most of guys would've lay down after the second punch.
There's no way to describe Tyson's kill instinct in that fight! He annihilated Larry with that double right hook!
