More quotes by Larry Holmes
With a record of 75 fights and 6 losses, some of the losses were very questionable including Brian Nielsen when we fought in Denmark. I knew I won but they didn't give me that fight.
Larry Holmes
[My] worst habit: Drinking too much Budweiser when I get angry.
Larry Holmes
I don't see anything happening [in heavyweight division] when I watch these fights, they are very boring. Not only that, but you never heard of any of the fighters.
Larry Holmes
Don King was good to me through my years as champion, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He's a wheeler dealer and you've got to be careful. He's a great con artist.
Larry Holmes
Don King doesn't care about black or white. He just cares about green.
Larry Holmes
I don't know if I have any regrets, I have had a pretty successful life. I have learned good, bad, and ugly.
Larry Holmes
All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps
Larry Holmes
I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out.
Larry Holmes
Boxing is already stable, as far as the opportunity to fight, opportunity for fighters to step inside the ring and make some money - I think that's OK, that's fairly legit. I just think fighters need to be represented when it comes down to making sure the i is dotted and the t is crossed.
Larry Holmes
Oliver McCall was someone who I never really got to know too well, and he had some well-publicized problems.
Larry Holmes
There is no quit in me.
Larry Holmes
When you constantly hear people talking about going the distance, going the distance, you can't help but wonder about it. I learned a lesson: next time I will fight my fight without that doubt.
Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson always had a big heart, but one of his problems is that he's short. And he's got kind of a personal attitude. But that don't make him a great fighter.
Larry Holmes
This is the lying thieving mother who cut me $500,000.
Larry Holmes
I achieved something once again, I think we all want to put a mark on life. I dream, and my dreams always come true. I dreamed I was the heavyweight champion of the world. I am the heavyweight champion of the world.
Larry Holmes
I think a lot of people like to gamble, and they don't want to go to the casino to gamble. Sometimes they want to do it in the privacy of their home. They can't concentrate the way they want to in a gambling casino.
Larry Holmes
Set a goal and make a commitment to meet that goal. Do the best you can, but never forget your roots, never forget where you came from. After you have succeeded, look back and see if there are others that you might help to achieve what you have accomplished.
Larry Holmes
It wasn't about Larry Holmes, if I would have fought a brother I wouldn't have gotten the money I got. Give me 10 black guys and I make eight dollars. Give me Gerry Cooney and I make $10 million.
Larry Holmes
People think that I reached the top overnight well, it took me fourteen years. I was twenty-nine before I really made it. I've had my jaws and hands broken. One arm is out of place. I've paid my dues in this business.
Larry Holmes
Tyson is a lot better than I thought, a lot better. People can talk about Spinks all they want... Tyson is the true champion.
