More quotes by Larry Holmes
I'm happy with my career but I could have been happier if I could have been treated like a champion should have been treated because management and fighters take advantage of fighters.
Larry Holmes
I cursed [Larry Merchant] out once, and I told him that he was a phony.
Larry Holmes
Bob Arum and Don King can do their thing but if I fought for those guys and they put the money up like they are supposed to then I don't have a problem.
Larry Holmes
I didn't fight this fight for the blacks, the whites or the Spanish, I fought th fight for the people. We're all God's children. I don't see color. I'm not a racist When I look at Gerry Cooney, I just see a man trying to take my head off.
Larry Holmes
Leading up to the fight [Trevor Berbick] took every opportunity he could to badmouth Larry Holmes and I just blew up. After I beat him in the ring, he tried to get me going again, saying he deserved another fight, wasn't happening.
Larry Holmes
I came from a dirt farm, now I'm filthy rich.
Larry Holmes
Kenny Norton hit me so hard that it still hurts. Now there was a case of two fighters who did not like each other.
Larry Holmes
I don't like Larry Merchant. He thinks he knows everything about a sport that he was never in. He walks around with papers and studies what he writes, he just pisses you off.
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.
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
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
I think the world is changing. And it's changing so fast that people have to change with it.
Larry Holmes
There is no quit in me.
Larry Holmes
The media loves to take things like that [Rocky Marciano couldn't hold my jockstrap] out of context. There was no harm meant when I said that, but plenty of harm came from it.
Larry Holmes
Oliver McCall was someone who I never really got to know too well, and he had some well-publicized problems.
Larry Holmes
We put our life on the line to fight for them, put on a show and these guys take our money so whatever happens to Bob Arum, Don King or anyone else is fine with me.
Larry Holmes
Muhammad Ali could take a very good punch. He was slick, he could move, he could hit, make you miss, good hand speed and combinations and one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion.
Larry Holmes
Don King doesn't care about black or white. He just cares about green.
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
Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.
