holmes is the probably the greatest boxer of all time.
Larry Holmes never fought any good apponents he's so over rated i wish Muhammad Ali would have kicked his but he was well past his prime.Back to Larry he only fought washed up fighters that were way past there prime.
i'll never forget watching the incredibly hyped up bout with gerry cooney.(ahh those were the days,before pay per view) should have retired after the micheal spinks fight very sad to see him trying to hang on and tarnishing a otherwise great status in boxing histroy.

Immediately following that fight, Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Tommy Hearns I was announced and I was approached by the President of our company to see if we could sell the pay-per-view rights to cable companies, as well as, to our over-the-air subscribers.
The Leonard-Hearns fight was a huge success on cable systems that used the trap, and immediately following that fight, Don King contacted me to use the device on the Larry Holmes vs Gerry Cooney heavyweight championship fight.
During the Foreman fight, we distributed the event to hundreds of sports bars on closed circuit television and during the telecast there was a great women’s bout that really stole the show.
