When Larry Holmes ascends to heaven will his Smiley be retired?

Of course not. I do hope that people look him up though. He's a great dude, was a great boxer and I hope he's remembered as a champion (in and outside the ring) moreso than the "flabby and sick" line lol.

He made me appreciate the Jab

Even though I agree that Larry would've beat the hell out of Pac, and that all fighters deserve a certain level of respect, it doesn't make them immune from jokes.

Especially when you're doing shyt like this



I think where the Holmes disrespect is actually meaningful, is when it comes to his historical ranking as a fighter, and always being seen as the bad guy (vs. Ali, vs. Tyson, vs. Marciano's record).

Arguably the best jab ever and unquestionably the best two-footed jump kick off a car.
