Larry shouldnt have to jump through hoops to get into the hall of fame. I hate when orgazations tie a bunch of bullshit to what is supposed to be honoring the athlete, not exploiting them one last time.
And Larry was never that good? WTF? He was one win away from tieing Marciano for best HW record ever before he was robbed against Spinx.

I thought Spinks beat him clean in their first fight. No robbery.

Funny stuff.
Shoot, after 30 odds years, I think Holmes may finally be growing on me.

I think Tyson beats Holmes at any point in his career.
Frazier I think would dip and duck his way into Holmes' chest and beat him.
I think Prime Holmes beats Foreman though..although a great fight..
I think Holmes is top 5-8 best heavies ever.. 1 best jab ever __________________

how is Frazier always ranked ahead of foreman when foreman nearly killed him over 4 rounds ?
why did Marciano retire so early ? was he injuried and was there any around at the time that marciano didn't fight ewho he should of fought ?

I dont think he was rating Frazier over Foreman, just saying that matchup wise against Holmes, Frazier would do better than Foreman.
Its the anti-MMA math argument. __________________

Plus when Foreman showed up he looked intimidating, had awesome power and bascially had a dominating aura similar to Tysons'.
Frazier was viewed as a small heavyweight entering the pros, who's chances of success were decidedly less than Foremans'.
When they finally met, the outcome was "proof" of what they were saying all along.
For the record, I concur that Foreman was the better fighter overall and matchup wise vs Frazier.
