Larry Holmes,was he exposed by Mike Spinks?
Well in my opinion Holmes was one of the most underrated Heavyweight Champions if not fighter ever. I have him in my top ten and remember the night he lost to Spinks. And to all the conspiracy theory people, I guess Valuev was robbed last year so he wouldn’t break Rocky’s record as well eh? Spinks won with a flash and move kinda style. He knew he couldn’t knock out the champ so he would throw flurry’s then get out of range. Holmes picked Spinks and nobody gave Spinks a chance. Holmes was 35 and flabby in the fight, I feel his wars from the 70’s and the condition of the division at the time made Holmes take Spinks too lightly. I have both fights on video and watching without the sound on Spinks clearly won the first in my book. The second fight Holmes was robbed royally without a doubt. He came in a bit better in shape and staggered Spinks several times. Against the waaaay overrated Tyson, Holmes was 38 and took a $3 million dollar payday. Holmes beat everyone that was anyone in the div
