Exactly though, imagine Mack and Whit on the same line? D-lineman would be lining up against them like Mike Tyson not wanting to hurt Larry Holmes...
Larry Holmes was a family friend. My grandfather helped his family move up from Georgia when he was like 6 and the first thing he did was take little Larry to St Anthony’s gym to take up boxing so he wouldn’t get into trouble.
yep, my Pop-pop introduced Larry Holmes to boxing. He also asked my grandfather to be his manager, but he turned Larry down. He preferred being President of the church and Chairman of the county welfare board to being a boxing promoter. Was weird watching Tyson fight Holmes, personally.
