Welcome to the light my brother....

Enlightenment is a gift and curse.. Be careful my brethren....

Flabby & sick no longer = Larry Holmes...

We need a new smiley for flabby and sick..

2nd best jab in Heavyweight history. I remember being a kid rooting for Gerry c00ney to beat Larry because I was mad that he beat Ali. My father slapped the shyt outta me in the face. Wasn't until years later I realized my father's slap was outta of pure blackness due to how much race played a factor in the build up in that fight and I was too young to get it at the time.

Larry beating c00ney meant a lot to the average niqqa.

It's not just the smilie here. There's cats outside of hip hop forums that think Larry Holmes was just some washed up dude cause of that line. That's the lasting memory and people think Larry Holmes was some bum when he's one of the greats.

If pac said, "nikkas look like ali with the shakes and shyt" people would've lost their natural minds.

Larry Holmes is one of the goats...I don't think that anyone that knows boxing really questions that.

The smilie isn't really all that serious. Dude was one of the goats, made cacs mad by disrespecting Marciano, had the second best heavyweight jab ever (Ali = Goat), one of the GOAT moments of fukkery by landing a drop kick off an automobile :laugh:...........but he eventually became flabby and sick....:yeshrug:

But yeah, that shyt with Ali is real :to:. I've not seen that 30 for 30 yet, and I'm not sure if they show it, but during the fight there are times when he's looking at the ref, and although he's not saying anything, you can tell that he's practically begging for him to stop the fight....:sadcam:

It's gotta hurt seeing someone you grew up watching go out like that against you.

use that flabby and sick smiley again. When Larry cried after the fight because he didn't want to hurt Ali, I have the utmost respect for him. That's one of the best sportsman moments I have ever seen. This guy is a really good human being. fukk a flabby and sick. :pacspit:

people are mad he beat an old ali.. so when he became old himself.. they made fun of him... but this dude is one of the best.

Mannnn.....the press was FURIOUS when he said Marciano couldn't hold his jock strap. Dude said it with such unbridled blackness white folks felt like they were under assault. :heh:

Yeah that's what got to me breh. He wasn't happy at all after winning the fight and broke down crying. He looked like the actual loser of the fight.
