For what giving Ali a late career payday? I loved Ali but I doubt I loved him as much as Holmes did. Boxing is very strange in that way. You need other great fighters to make you great you often train with them, have them train you, train a fighter that is fighting you and/or fight them yourself. Beating an old Larry Holmes is no great achievement for a great fighter just like beating an old slow Ali was no achievement for Holmes. Tyson didn’t need any extra motivation to beat a 38 year old Holmes that had been retired for 2 years after losing twice to Michael Spinks who Tyson knock out in seconds. 🙄

Holmes lost post retirement to Tyson and Holyfield and Tyson lost to a bum Ike Douglas poor sportsmanship to Holyfield by biting his ears out of rage he couldn't knock out Holyfield a boxer with a heart ailment and trash talked Lennox Lewis who whipped the so called baddest man on the planet made him want to give up boxing.

Maybe it was Larry's way of warning him not to fight him. People blame Holmes for beating Ali he was the only person who cared for him. Not the doctors not the promoters example Don King not his corner who should have threw in the towel and not the referee. Holmes cried after beating Ali. Not even the fans at that time Ali is marketable but when it's you the athlete will deal with lingering injuries when go past your prime who is going to be there for you 😉

Larry Holmes LOVED ALI he went to Ali's locker room after their fight gave Ali hug and cried. He hated that he fought Ali and regretted it during fight. He was interviewed years later and said he was pretty much open handed slapping Ali, Holmes hated that he had to punch his HERO! After their fight Holmes told Ali your still greatest of all time in my book!

@@joeroganstrtshots881 That was a little "promo" slap. He didn't even put any force behind that. These are also boxers that are used to taking full force punches from people like Foreman and Tyson and they both knew it. That "slap" wasn't nothing but a lovetap on the face to promote the fight. That's why you can see that Ali wasn't even angry. He was just like "you slapped me. You crazy." Holmes said he wasn't even throwing full punches and was pretty much throwing open hand slaps in this fight because he didn't wanna KO his friend. This fight was just a paycheck to both of them with no real animosity. Holmes even hugged Ali and cried after the fight because he regretted punishing Ali like that.

Why? because of beating an old Muhammad Ali? This was boxing's fault for allowing a guy clearly suffering from a mental illness to get in the ring. If u see the fight Larry Holmes actually held back and didn't hurt Muhammad Ali and instead just jabbed at him on the ropes until the ref stopped the fight.
