Larry Holmes
|
DoghouseBoxing recently caught up with one of the Greatest Heavyweight Boxers of all time, Larry Holmes. Larry took some time out and answered our questions for the readers of this site. Larry as usual holds back no punches. Here is what Larry Holmes had to say....
DHB: Which fight do you think was your best performance?
Larry Holmes: The best fight was when I beat Norton of the title. It was a hard 15 rounds. I didn't expect him to be that strong. In fact Don King and the rest of the boxing world never thought I would beat Norton.
DHB: Which fight do you think was your worst performance?
LH: The worst fight was with Tyson. I knew I wasn't ready.
DHB: Who gave you the hardest fight?
LH: Norton gave me the hardest fight. Also Carl Williams was hard because he fought just like me. I gave some hard body shots which stopped him.
DHB: How did the rivalry start between you and Foreman
LH: It started when he wouldn't fight me. I just think he is a phoney.
DHB: What is your prediction if you and Foreman ever fight?
LH: I would beat GEORGE when they stop the fight in the ninth round because he can't see anymore. I will jab until his face blows up.
DHB: What are you doing now these days?
LH: I am traveling doing personal appearances , buying and selling real estate and business's, endoresing products.
DHB: What would be your advice to a young talent who wants to do boxing as a proffession?
LH: I recommend to make sure you have a job to fall back on in case your Boxing career fails. Don't rely on making money in boxing until you have a lot of wins. Have a manager who you trust and will guide you in the ring and outside the ring.
DHB: Is there anything you would like to say to your fans and maybe George Foreman?
LH: I hope to see all my fans through my travels and hope Foreman changes his mind and fights me in 2005.
DoghouseBoxing would like to thank Larry Holmes for his time out to answer some questions for DoghouseBoxing and our Readers.
