More quotes by Larry Holmes
That guy [Floyd Mayweather] is throwing his money around like there is no tomorrow.
Larry Holmes
I don't owe Don King anything. I got things with my own sweat and blood. I don't know if I'll be associated with Don but I won't be a slave or puppet for him.
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
It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.
Larry Holmes
Don King doesn't care about black or white. He just cares about green.
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
Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.
Larry Holmes
Oliver McCall was someone who I never really got to know too well, and he had some well-publicized problems.
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
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
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
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
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
[My] worst habit: Drinking too much Budweiser when I get angry.
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
I still feel that I am in my prime right now but I think my best fights were in my thirties.
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
Everyone still wants to see [Floyd] Mayweather and [Manny] Pacquaio fight. When the talks start though, it always seem like it is all about Mayweather, and I think the people hate that.
Larry Holmes
I always enjoy myself fighting in Mississippi. I enjoy myself fighting anywhere.
