Holmes was CHEATED against Brian Nielsen for the IBO title. He should've been the oldest heavyweight champion.

it’s not a major recognized heavyweight title. Foreman has the record for world heavyweight champion. i believe Holyfield is the oldest heavyweight champion with that WBF title.

@@exar657 for me….the world heavyweight champions are the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and IBO (at some point it’s gonna be recognized like the WBO) champions. if you wanna argue The Ring championship, i won’t disagree. any other heavyweight championship… ex: WBF, WBU, IBA, etc are minor titles. in essence those 3 titles i just mentioned are like the NABF. they are the tier 2 championships. that’s why we make the distinction between world heavyweight champion and heavyweight champion. Evander is not seen as a 5 time world heavyweight champion because the WBF is not recognized as a world championship by the major sanctioning bodies.

@@exar657 when i made my original comment i didn’t believe the IBO to be a major world championship. my opinion has changed since in Europe it is seen as one. and it’s almost always in the mix with the Unified Champion. WBO may have been recognized by as a major championship in other weight classes in the 90s, the other 3 sanctioning bodies in the heavyweight division didn’t recognize it until like some time between 2004 and 2007.

The thing I like about Larry Holmes or at least one of the things is that he will say “I’m always gonna say the truth even if you don’t like it” and here we see Larry admit that other people said he shouldn’t have taken the Michael Spinks fight and I agree with Larry Holmes

I remember reading Don King wanted Larry to fight someone other than Spinks then have his 50th fight in Hawaii the 50th State to beat Marciano's record. Probably been a lot easier that way.

This commentator mentions that Larry Holmes never won the hearts of the fans I’m telling you I was 16 years old when I first saw Gary Holmes and he definitely won my heart because he was a true champion.I actually got a chance to speak to Larry Holmes about two or three years ago when I just called him on the phone number that I found on Google for his business in Easton Pennsylvania and he was a very nice person

Larry Holmes is the greatest boxer in the heavyweight division (speaking of only in the ring) even Ali in his prime had trouble with boxers (like ken norton) who jabbed with Ali, gave Ali lots of trouble and Larry Holmes had the best jab in history and Ali had nothing extra that would've beat Holmes. Ali stole Ray Robinson's' style and Holmes used some of Ali's style

I tend to agree with you. I think Holmes is probably the all-time #1 at heavyweight; I don't think Ali at any age could have hung with him. And Ali lost all three fights to Norton.
