I listened again because of this comment and heard it the second time. It was quick but he did say it. His face said it too

I just heard too. Crazy sad

Ty for pointing that out. Would've missed it

thank you!

Thanks. Overheard it but thank you I heard it now. Important note by the champ. Tyson is a goat and probably the best after ali

Exactly

Ali could barely speak then.

Larry Holmes beat an old Ali ..but didn't want to make him suffer and called on the ref many times to stop the fight out of respect...Ali and Holmes had massive respect for each other. Tyson bear an old Holmes .

How dare Larry Holmes , Mike would have cleaned all their clocks plain and simple including Clay

@@nickmuratalla881 Mike did clean Larry's clock

Don’t think he could help it bud

Yeah that shit is hilaaarious

Mike respected Ali still does

😂😂😂 i miss him

@@loganstabb2278 he did that on purpose smart guy

😂😂😂

Lmao

😂😂😂😂

Lmao

Lmao! He did admit it so yea it's a Fact!

Your or You're? 😂😂😂

Come here to read this

He was angry he lost to a kid haha

Yea because Mike beat the brakes off (Larry Holmes)him.

@@Ehrle6969 it was mike Tyson in his prime fighting an old retired Larry holmes

@@Razah. holmes had a title fight in his 40s and didn't retire until he was in his 50s, mike would've whooped him in his prime, let's not give him that excuse, especially considering the fact that he beat up an old ali with Parkinsons.

@@eurirotk holmes retired in 1985 for year and half then came out of retirement for 1 fight then retired again in 86 and in 1988 came out of retirement to fight mike Tyson. That’s equivalent to 4 years inactivity at his age is brutal for the human body, bare in mind holmes also had 12+ years of an abused body vs a fresh prime mike Tyson, Do you even know boxing bro?

😅😅😅😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

FACTS ! !

Key words were "In their primes".

@@jonathanisom1600 even in their prime Holmes gets no where near Tyson. His style was all wrong for Holmes. Holmes always struggled with shorter fighters that moved around a lot. Holmes wouldn't have beaten Ali if Ali was in his prime also. That's just the facts although a good fighter holmes fought many fighters who were well bellow his level that's just the era he was in like fury now. When he got tested he was found out and just being salty makes him looks worse. Both Ali and Frazier where better fighters than Holmes and stood a better chance in their prime of beating Tyson but even they are being humble. I have no respect for Holmes anymore.

He beat the brakes of his nephew. Frazier knows what’s up lol. Although what Larry’s saying has merit. Maybe Ken Norton, Frazier would have struggled but Ali and Holmes are both better versions of Lennox Lewis… And we all saw what Lennox did to Mike

@@Robinson496joe would beat Tyson through knockout

​@@Robinson496 Keep in mind though, the Tyson that lost to Holyfield and Lewis was not prime Tyson...prime Tyson would've destroyed both of them imo.

​@@JabEdits567 Maybe, maybe not...there's a damn good chance prime Tyson might knock Joe out.

@@XThirdEyeX Lennox yes, Holyfield no. Mike was 30 years old and definitely in his prime. Just because he lost a fight, it doesn't mean he wasn't in his prime, it just means Holyfield was better on the night. Holyfield isn't a bum, he's a HOFer for a reason. I'm sure Mike could beat Holyfield on his night, but on record Holyfield is the one who won both those fights.

Why did I read this comment with the voice of Jack Jenkins from Harlem Nights? 😂😂😂😂

And physically

Larry was 75 years old when he fought Tyson ~ old man in barbershop, voice

😂

Poor Larry the Ego. Tyson embarrassed him.

😂😂😂😂

Ali taught Larry how to box.. and if Ali didn’t have Parkinson’s disease he would of beaten Larry

@@Mac1993. for sure if ali faced em about 5 years prior he would've done him bad

😂😂😂that’s so true

@@Mac1993. yeah sure but Larry still would’ve been champ after Ali don’t discredit Larry with ifs and buts.

'this guys a monster'' means he knows Tyson would have been a handful even for them ; ]

😂😂😂😂yes

Exactly what I was thinking

I believe he was the one that said “speak for yourself”

Ali knew Mike would have destroyed them

​@@cwest394 Wrong

Exactly 💯

Idk if Ali was all there at that time bud, but maybe

@@coleworld5902 huh? homie was in the room with them

you can hear him say speak for yourself if you listen closely😂 Ali was the man

@@jaysonb.6669 I’m not sure If he did, but I hope you’re aware of roids not being able to enhance strength.

No he says speak for yourself watch again it was funny

Ali also knew Cus D Amato very well!

That's right

Not really..got found out in the olympic trials...after that steered carefully in pro career and lost to the first fighter who stood up to him. Mike did great things but Larry's right.

💯

Yes sucka

Yep

Hahaha that`s exactly what I read on Ali`s face as well

He said "speak for yourself" when Holmes was talking 🤣

Although holmes is right they would beat tyson in their prime

@@leofrancis6523 ali and holmes would beat tyson in their prime.. but i think tyson would take joe

@@youngboss9060 joe started slowly so tyson only victory would be 1-3 round knockout. But I think joes impeccable chin and defence would take it later rounds and once their there joe would steam ahead.

@@leofrancis6523 thats true. Joe fight like someone who is high on pcp, the dude could take anything u threw at him

@@youngboss9060 yeah Evan with Foreman knocking him down, Joe got up and was ready to fight more

I did it that's crazy he really said that bruh thank you I would have never known

I did right as I was reading this comment

Yeah, I heard it the second time around. thanks for pointing that out.

I heard that from Ali!

Thanks for pointing it out. Had to go listen again after reading this comment

No he was just Telling the truth, everyone in this room would kill tyson

always

Haha salty af. Duran was the same towards Mayweather. Sad to see.

I enjoy Larrys take. Out of all the greats sitting in that council I'd expect him to have a hot take.

Holmes was always like that, couldn’t take a loss well

"MARKSMAN" ..... WORD !

Shouldn't talk $#@ about a mans lil bro Infront of him, (Ali voice )

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I read that in his voice lol

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Backwoods South Carolina actually.

More country than Little Jim Dickens 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛🙊🙉🙈💩😗

Yeah, but he left for Philadelphia at 15 and trained exclusively there throughout his career. Raised his family there and trained dozens of young fighters there in his gym.

Best said!! MT was a MARKSMAN….period!! 👍

Joe was a realist ; payin Tyson his due Holmes was a great fighter ; but think he s wrong about this

None of these legends would have been capable of taking Mike Tyson blows. How many of them could finish of guys in the first round on a steady basis in their prime?

​@@tarijohn1924 Joe Frazier definitely could he took blows from young foreman and got up over 5 times

@@KZfaqCO713 But Tyson must have had a heavier and more powerful punch than Foreman.

You're right, I hadn't noticed it

If Ali said he couldn’t beat Mike and Larry said he could then I 100% know Larry couldn’t beat mike.

ali could definitely beat mike

​@@idklol4197 Ali himself said he probably couldn't

​@@idklol4197 no chance Ali was like a dancer every move was perfect but tyson is like a nuke don't matter how much u dance he will kill everything in ten miles

Buster Douglas squirshed him. Or was he suddenly “out of his prime” for that one ? If so that’s a short MF’n prime 1986-88 ?? Maybe he was out of his prime but then back into it for Peter McNeeley ??

​@ezsmith3765 mike under cus I think was a force like no other once he was gone that truly was the demise of mike, he became extremely lost

Lol

​@@kp-ig9ex people always holler cus and Mike had issues... Every fighter had life going on. It's all relative to your situation. Managers are one thing but at the end of the day when you're in the ring it's all about you as an individual and how well you prepaid

Here's truth: Nobody in that room would've whipped Tyson in his prime. But Cassius Clay would have mincemeat out of him.

He said "Speak for yourself"

He was the one that was snoring 💤😂😂😂

Ali is in outer space where joe put him

The most Legendary moment in commentary boxing with some of the greatest legends at the table 🙌 Larry was lucky muhammad couldn't speak n tyson wasn't there.

​@@TheSands83 he had parkinsons man he wasn't at his best self

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Old Joe saw what Tyson did to his son Marvis. Seeing Tyson live made everyone a believer.

Ali knew Cus that trained Mike. He knew what was Cus was about.

He right except Kenn Norton. This is because these fighters can take a punch and had great stamina. Tyson can not take a good shot and he has the notability to run out of gas if he doesn't knock you out with the first 5 rounds!

​@@ericsmith3685 Mike Tyson had an iron chin, he also had good conditioning in his prime, if he gassed out against Ruddock he would have lost that fight.

​@@ericsmith3685 Do you think someone who cannot take a shot would have dominated his era like pretty much nobody else in the history of Boxing? It's absurd how brutally Mike knocked out every single opponent within the first rounds. Hate him or think he is overrated but whatever you do don't talk like he wasn't an amazing fighter because that just makes you sound like a clown. You are probably talking about old Mike but rating a boxer on his aged form is worthless.

I like Tyson but those guys was scared to fight him! I'm talking about Ali, Holmes and Frazier. These guys has stamina and took good shots and still knocked their opponents out! They had a must toughercand more talented era of fighters back then! Luke today's heavyweights, they couldn't have stood a chance!

Bruh i swear word for word these were my thoughts 😆😆😆😆😆 thank you for posting this comment 💯🤞🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🫡

​@@BigSupaa cap

@@BigSupaa No sweat, somebody has to call this joker on his b.s.

😂😂facts💯

🤣🤣🤣

Yup 😂😂

Yep. I noticed too.

Yes he did. Because Ali and Joe are real men. Larry got his ass whooped by Mike and he knew then that he could have never survived in the ring with Mike Tyson at any point in his career. The ONLY heavyweight in my lifetime who could have probably stayed with Tyson in his prime would have been Ali. Ali was a true boxer and he had 10 times more heart than any modern heavyweight. So he might have been able to take Iron Mike. Frazier, Holmes, Foreman, none of them would have beaten Mike in his prime

@@archieadams4841 at any point in his career is a stretch, Holmes was a great fighter in his prime. Probably would’ve been a great fight if they were both in their respective prime.

Mike in his prime would have destroyed everyone on that panel.

Rispect to frazier

mayo monkey

snow roach

holmes lost to tyson the same way he beat ali. but when he won it was cus he’s better, when he lost it’s because he’s old. when in reality he’s just shit and the best win of his career was literally against a disabled old man.

tyson fought well against: spinks, ruddock. everyone else was either unknown or way past his prime. or tyson lost

Yep

Well said

Absolutely

Hell of course he’d agree the way he beat his son ass in 30seconds in his face with the same style as Joe

My man never got over how much Tyson folded him up. Legend has it he’s still unfolding. Till this day and dats why he so mad.

Nah Ali would beat Tyson, outpoint him

@@redmarine2717 Yes, Ali would even break Tyson mentally before the fight

Larry that bitter champ .who never really got the credit

If I was there...I would've been like WHO'S MAN'S IS THIS?🤣

Larry’s an all time great, but he’s definitely got that hater in him 😅

​@Joske Vermeulen Exactly... and what choice did he have? If he had not taken ali seriously then he would've also been severely criticized. Basically Holmes was simply doing his job. Ali was the loudmouth punching bag that couldn't let go of the past and ended up taking a severe, and much-deserved beating.

Well in Larry's defence, Mike did knock him out and he might have forgotten they fought

@Joske Vermeulen Yes. That's why I started my comment with "exactly". I fully agree

Was waiting for this comment . Ali i love how ali always spoke for himself .

🤍

I replayed it because of this and wow, good catch, because they didn't even acknowledge it. Holmes was out of pocket in that one.

Ali looked At Holmes like he was crazy ‼️ Shut your mad azz up‼️😂

Ameen

Larry was hating because he got clapped by Tyson. And Ali and Frazier kept it 💯

I heard that

They don't agree with the disrespect, and they gave him his flowers. But no one SAID Mike would beat them. Just showing respect

The good old boys approach? Yeah, this is very very prevalent in America and just pretending that you are right is a cultural approach and people getting behind you and making you be right even though it is not grounded and Truth usually for profits is what we call the American way

I don’t know why people think Tyson beating an aging Holmes avenges Ali. Cause at the end aid the day, Holmes still destroyed an aging Ali.

@@angelorivera5884 what's your point you're trying to make? It's not tysons fault. That Larry wanted the damn fight. And was older. Not tysons fault when he was born 😂💯

Larry was actually doing well until the 4th round. Not bad for a semi retired guy who was almost 40 years old.

​@@jasonmoody4219 Mike Tyson is the only man to ko Larry Holmes, 4 years latee at 42 holyfield had a tough fight with Larry and undefeated Ray Mercer actually lost to old Larry Holmes, Give Tyson some credit Larry was past his prime but still potent.

@@NoName-vb4pc it's not just about his age. It's about the timing of when the fight happened. Larry hadn't fought in a year and a half and was coming off of the losses to Michael Spinks when he got in the ring with Tyson. With Holyfield he had been active for over a year and had won six straight fights. I'm not necessarily saying it would've made a difference either way but it is something to think about.

Tyson hit Larry so hard. Larry's ankles broke.

Greatest moment ever

I bet that never happened

​@@jasonmoody4219 It literally did. You not only see Ali mouth it to Tyson, prior to the first bell vs Holmes, but Tyson himself confirmed it after the fight.

Yeah I saw the clip too you can see Ali mouth it to Tyson and then climb out of the ring right at the start of the fight.

@@AnthonyScott5425 cause Tyson's never lied before right?
