Yeah, I'm even reading about those really old school guys from 30's or so, those had to be incredible fighters.

The problem of Larry is that he was a part of the golden age of boxing, where the best fighters challenged other best fighters without the 4 associations bullshit.

So many incredible boxers for one title.

Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, Ali, George Foreman, Ernie Shavers those were all legends and I value them much much more than Klitschko for example, although I don't believe that these days fighters would be much worse, they definitely absolve less really tough fights though.
