Oliver speaking the truth! Holmes ran from Greg Page. He also ran from Pinklon Thomas. And he never rematched Tim Witherspoon or Carl Williams -- two guys who nearly beat him (and did in the eyes of many).
True the corner consistently applies tape incorrectly so Larry can catch his breath a few times He also plays the ref Then again still a champ at that record, my god... McCall's my favourite though
And whats the point of these facts? Holmes done enough to be great and respected champion, easily in top 10 of all times. All of them did that running and ducking someone bcs of different styles of fighting...tell me only one boxer who fight with all of them in his prime time, and never ducked anyone. Even Tyson avoided big George Foreman in my opinion...
Page lost to 3 opponents from 1982-to 84 who Holmes clearly beat. And NO, Holmes vs Witherspoon was a clear Holmes victory. 9 round to 3. Turn off the biased commentary from that one. Larry clearly outworked and outlanded Witherspoon. Page lost to David Bey, so Larry fought Bey and stopped him.
Holmes did not doge Greg page, page had great potential but lacked discipline and got into drugs which hurt his career and a shot at being a champion, as for Carl Williams and Tim Weatherspoon holms beat them so why rematch? He had to prove there. As for pickling Thomas I'm sure holmes would beat him.
Never forget how Larry and Don king robbed Tim witherspoon and glass chin fringe contender Williams 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. No wonder Larry ducked so many top rated boxers during the 80s.. thank God tiny light heavyweight spinks put an end to it, and schooled larry😂😂😂
Holmes dominated Berbick who beat up Greg Page and Berbick was the first to beat Page who was in his prime at the time. Boxing math doesn't always work but Greg Page wasn't even that good Holmes would've destroyed him
Thank you from Louisville My Homeboy my friend Greg Page would've beat Holmes But also remember he was the first to put Tyson on his @$$ in Japan...Greg also beat The Russian as a Amateur who beat the Great Cuban 3 time Gold Metalist Tefilo Stevenson...RIP.Greg.
