I miss the great days of boxing Duran my all time Favorite and the greatest lightweight of all time ,Larry Holmes one of the greatest heavyweight champions ever and Evander one of the best ever with the biggest heart ever in a man what an absolute warrior he was !!!!!
Larry Holmes is a top 5 all time HW in my opinion. Nobody, even a young Ali, would be able to outbox him. The only way to beat a young, prime Holmes was to KO him. Shavers did, but when Larry hit the canvas he woke up! Prime Holmes was virtually unbeatable
@@milojanis4901 I wasn't that impressed with Holmes initially but after the Norton fight, he seemed to steadily improve. He definitely proved his worth by getting off the canvas against Shavers and winning. It was just amazing that he got up!
@@denissssss8579 YOU CAN THANK THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA FOR THAT! THEY HAD NO STORY OF *"RACE"* IN IT TO STIR PEOPLE UP AS HOLMES NEVER CRIED OUT *RACISM!* HOLMES WAS A REAL MAN AND STILL IS! LOVE HIM!
@@kephale1Duran no estaba en buenas condiciones fisicas para esa pelea, que ademas se realizó solo 2 meses despues de la primera pelea. Y como Duran sintió que le habían tendido una trampa para verlo derrotado y humillado por los golpes de Sugar Ray Leonard, entonces Duran decidio salir de pie de la pelea y con la cara sin golpes. Y eso ofendió mas al publico Estado Unidense que lo queria ver tirado en la lona.
@@kephale1for me it's just his unprofessionalism,where he went too far mocking Leonard all day and not even trying to shake hands with Wilfred,but otherwise he's real nice outside if the ring.
@@Mars-lp8yd What are you talking about Willis. He had over 32 wins as a professional. He beat Azumah Nelson, Trinidad Sr., and Little Red Lopez. N*****, please!
Duran trained at Larry Holmes's gym back in the early 1980s. Roberto was so gracious and cool to the fans there, includng me, who watched him workout. After his workout he stood for pictures with people and signed autographs, joking and talking with me and others. A great boxer, and a great man. Holmes, also, was very nice to fans. He signed autographs, stood for pictures, etc., after his workout, also. Two great boxers, great guys to their fans. Louis, Ali, Holmes - the 3 best ever heavyweight boxers, IMO. Duran, greatest lightweight boxer, and in top 4 best ever all weight classes pound for pound. Sugar Ray Robinson welterweight, Roberto Duran lightweight, Henry Armstrong feather weight to middleweight, Ezzard Charles at light heavy, etc. Roberto is that good, among the best ever boxers P4P any weight, all time, IMO.
Didn't realize it back in the 70's and 80's that I was watching the greatest collection of professional boxers that ever lived. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Leonard, Duran, etc.
Pero justo por eso mismo es que eramos tan fanaticos del Boxeo, por la calidad de grandes boxeadores que habian en casi todos los pesos. Pero en estos tiempos de ahora francamente casi no veo boxeo, no hay nada bueno que ver.
Duran can look as strong as he likes. Holmes fought and beat the hardest puncher in boxing history twice, Earnie Shavers. Yeah he looks strong, wrong weight class to challenge champion boxers if your a lightweight.
I had the opportunity to meet Larry Holmes and get a photo with him when he came to Oneonta N.Y. for a book viewing. That was so friggin awesome!!! 2015 or 2016
Got to give it up for larry holmes . He was vilified somewhat in the 1980s for reasons your all aware of, yet he has held his dignity and poise and has turned it full circle. Loved and respected by all .
It says to me that they are legends. At the same time I couldn't tell you what would have happened if they had fought in Larry's prime. I mean Larry from 1978 and Holy 1990. Close fight.
Larry Holmes was a monster in his prime that no heavyweight in today's era or future era ..can beat him. He is the greatest of all time..same cloth with Ali.. People should respect Larry Holmes as the same respect given to Ali.. He truly deserve it..
Duran at 175 vs. Holyfield at cruiserweight before the steroids... That would be more competitive than people think. Holyfield had a rough time with boxers who would put their head on your chest and work at close-range.
Yes I agree, I also think he held back. Of course Ali was 100 miles past his peak with Parkinson’s knocking at the door, but wasn’t a Holmes fault. Ali was enormous inside and outside the ring, it’s impossible to follow someone like that.
Are you sure? Coz i think/am sure that George Foreman is more $$ier than Larry...but who really cares we love them for their accomplishments in and out of the ring...the things that money can't buy
Que bueno que tremendo 3 astro de el boxeo pero el mejor es Roberto durán sin quitarle méritos alos otros 2 Q también fueron buenos mis respetos alos 2 peso completo desde venzuela Aníbal Martínez
These three guys would dominate todays champions.
Absofknlutely
Facts
Easily…
Without a doubt.
Missing Marvelous Marvin Hagler RIP🪦 he was better than Duran
Boxing Royalty right there. 👑👑👑
Orale!! Those vatos were some serious fighters! Nothing but love and respect to all of you champions!
I met Larry Holmes on a flight to Saudi Arabia . Very nice guy and his wife is very nice as well.
@richardvaiciulis
Which wife??
Larry telling Roberto, "I don't know what you're talking about" at around a minute in is funny.

@@milojanis4901Mike Tyson despatched him easily. He would had done the same even if Larry was younger.
Duran and Holmes have always been buddies.
Holmes still doesn't know what Duran is talking about, funny shit.
I don't know if Duran knew what Holmes told him that Duran was paying for dinner tonight
Similar to the postfight interview of Holmes/Mercer when Duran shows up on TVKO.
Holmes does not understand Duran. He doesn't understand that. He doesn't understand that. He doesn't understand that.
Great and funny reunion of these legends ❤
Everyone loves Duran now. ♥️
Spoken like a true Leonard fan boy.
Duran, probably the greatest LW of all times
@@jayclarke5466 you're right. Everyone hates Duran now
As a lifelong boxing fan it's easy to 'love' Duran. The guy was a warrior. A multi weight champ who made boxing really fun to watch. 👍
Larry Homes deserves a lot more credit than he gets. He dominated boxing during his time, and had the best jab in all boxing.
I AGREE! AND SO DOES EVANDER! WHAT HEART BOTH HAD!
Larry Holmes won’t get any more credits, no matter how often u guys repeat that same comment…
Exactly right! Ali's main sparing partner for much of his Title run & Holmes was a Champion for nearly a decade! The Easton Assassin!
@@uscgbmcmretired2490 HE WAS SMART TOO AS HE INVESTED HIS MONEY AND HAS PLENTY TODAY! ONE SMART MAN!

Legends
Wow, the great Roberto Durán
Absolute legends ❤
Boxing Golden Era!
Roberto Duran, the legend of jumping rope in boxing 🥊💪🇩🇿
No Mass
@@tooakkiBrawl in Montreal
Duran is arguably the greatest lightweight champion of all time. A legend amongst legends.
No argument, WAS the greatest Lightweight ever. 😃
Arguably the greatest multiweight champion
I lost some respect for Duran when he quit while fighting Sugar Ray. I mean what professional quits a boxing match.

Man, I love to see these legends reunite and chop it up a bit.
The Greatest of ALL Time was missing. May he rest in peace .
That would of been awesome.
Jim Jeffriss
What do you mean? Mike Tyson is still alive…
Joe Calzaghe is still with us
Salvadore Sanchez and Carlos Monzon.
Probably the most underrated fighter ever, Sr Lawrence Holmes.
I wish Salvador sanchez lived longer and was there
Salvador would have been one of the Greats! Facts!
@@angelrosario626 he already is
@@daniaalali4658 You are right. He began his career at 16 y/o. Beat Felix Trinidad Sr. He was only 23 when he passed. Loved watching him fight.
Nahh he didn't live ling enough to really prove himself. All you have is suppositions.

The hands of stone.
BEAUTIFUL !!! 🥊🥊
“You let Don King take your money!” 😂 Duran’s isn’t the only one he took
😂😂🤣🤣
Don King was trash..
Roberto is all smiles nowdays, happy he enjoy life
Didn't realize it back in the 70's and 80's that I was watching the greatest collection of professional boxers that ever lived. Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Leonard, Duran, etc.
Same here. The golden era of boxing will never come back.
Nostalgia
Pero justo por eso mismo es que eramos tan fanaticos del Boxeo, por la calidad de grandes boxeadores que habian en casi todos los pesos. Pero en estos tiempos de ahora francamente casi no veo boxeo, no hay nada bueno que ver.
Great champions
Very nice to seeing again the Legend, 🇵🇦 Roberto Duran.🇨🇦
Larry had the best heavy weight jab of all time.
Lennox Lewis had a better jab than he.
Classy dudes, all of them. Lookin' good!
Duran is short, but looks very strong even among the heavyweights.
Duran can look as strong as he likes. Holmes fought and beat the hardest puncher in boxing history twice, Earnie Shavers. Yeah he looks strong, wrong weight class to challenge champion boxers if your a lightweight.
I had the opportunity to meet Larry Holmes and get a photo with him when he came to Oneonta N.Y. for a book viewing. That was so friggin awesome!!! 2015 or 2016
Larry sent me a photo an a letter one time back in the 80s .I know he wrote it cause it was messed up an tried to be corrected .an autographed too
Enjoying life,as they should.❤
Caught Larry Holmes out creeping one night in Newark NJ. Met him again after a sparring session, we both laughed.
Got to give it up for larry holmes . He was vilified somewhat in the 1980s for reasons your all aware of, yet he has held his dignity and poise and has turned it full circle. Loved and respected by all .
Holmes Holyfield and Duran being able to speak and function normally is a miracle after all the punishment they took
Holyfield is not quite at it, not 100%
It's kind of crazy to see Duran now. He always looks so happy and nice. He always looked fierce to me back in the day though.
Tarver peaking in there 😂
You have to have great respect for these men who worked very hard to reach the top level they did.
Awsome!
What a wonderfull history there.
Evender the warrior ❤
These are the sweet hearts of the box world. The men that kept our companies when we needed a little fun from the ring. I thank God for you
Beautiful human beings 🇺🇸🖼🥊. And sooooooohmuchmore Beyond the sweet science 🥊🥊🥊🥊☮️
Had the pleasure of meeting and partying with Larry Holmes. Also met Ernie Shavers all these guys are boxing Royalty! 😊💯👍👏💪
Its great watching the legends of the weight classes
"Hands of fkn stone" right there!
Hall of Famers real men 🥊
Truly good fellas.
Some awesome greats!
Unlike keyboard warriors, these are the real tough guys! Legends of the sport. Thank you for the many years of pugilistic excellence, gentlemen!
Make Boxing Great Again! What a group of legends.
Great example respect is earned never given in this life.
They were my favorites for being humble in and outside of the ring.
Holy and Larry fought in 1991 I guess and wanted to kill each other in the ring and now they are friends. So good to see them like that.
And at 41 Holmes was competitive with an at peak Holyfield. What does that tell you?
It says to me that they are legends. At the same time I couldn't tell you what would have happened if they had fought in Larry's prime. I mean Larry from 1978 and Holy 1990. Close fight.
What a nice video, god bless.
Чемпионы навсегда
I never thought I'd see these three "frogs" together.......ever.......
I love you Mr Larry Holmes and evander holyfiled My favorite boxer of all time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊😊
So cool towatch this video
Father Time takes no prisoners. He beat EVERY single one of 'em!
To be in the presence with those legends? WOW!!! Much respect to Larry, Roberto, Evander, Antonio! 🙏✊💪☝️
Larry would Smash this whole current heavyweight division easy
Notice Durans right hand knuckle!
Duran brought the beard back now he looks like the real Roberto Duran

Always great to that Larry is still healthy and wealthy and shows no obvious negative effects of his long boxing career.
Holmes, Duran, Holyfield. The golden age of Boxing.
I love to see these ex combatives interact post career.
Legends Together
antonio tarver too and oh those are great legends
long live all legends
Ole Larry still sportin that same haircut 💯
Larry Holmes was a monster in his prime that no heavyweight in today's era or future era ..can beat him.
He is the greatest of all time..same cloth with Ali..
People should respect Larry Holmes as the same respect given to Ali..
He truly deserve it..
Yes.

Greats 🥊
"i don't know what You talking about..."😂😂😂 The biggest Larry Holmes
The Goats right there. 💪💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Duran would dominate todays heavyweights. Lol
Probably not far from the truth...
Holmes. Holyfield. Duran. I would have loved to just have been in the damn room.
Roberto Duran!!!!!!!!
Larry Holmes biggest crime was that he beat the hell out of Ali. People never got over that. He was a great fighter.
Yes I agree, I also think he held back. Of course Ali was 100 miles past his peak with Parkinson’s knocking at the door, but wasn’t a Holmes fault. Ali was enormous inside and outside the ring, it’s impossible to follow someone like that.
Too fun 😃

So' great to see Roberto Duran healthy and making jokes. He was really sick
First time I seen old sone fists smile.
Evander still looks to be in great shape.
Larry: "Giffme fidalus man "
Duran: Yupey MEE!
Larry Holmes invested well, and he's got more money than all of them.. put together.
Are you sure? Coz i think/am sure that George Foreman is more $$ier than Larry...but who really cares we love them for their accomplishments in and out of the ring...the things that money can't buy

Roberto Duran the center of crowd attentions.
What did Larry tell Duran? Why did you let Don King take your money? Don took everybody’s money.💰💰💰
Easton assassin awsome
