Larry is one of the best HW ever and he pulls his own stunts, word to Trevor Berbick. Still, flattopping nikkas is what's en vogue, so is flabby and sick. :flabbynsick:. Tell me that you don't see that pic and not think of a nikka standing outside a hood laundromat, asking for change, harassing people on some "I know you got change nikka, you are at the laundromat" type shyt.

Maybe I'm not on point, but anybody else find it disrespectful to call him flabby and sick? I mean, Holmes is a legend, one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. I get the line, it was funny at the time, but he deserves better, right?

Oh Larry was a beast now and one of my favorites of all time. Anybody who watches boxing knows that, just so happens he ran into a monster in Mike Tyson, I really dont think anyone had him figured out at that point. He says he could have beat him but truth is, Tyson made him look :flabbynsick: and then years later the saying was born. It's all jokes to people like me but some have no idea just how good he was. All in all Larry was is and always be a great but you can't expect everybody to know that.
