Larry Holmes Fighter Quotations

All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps

I never tried to be a mercenary or a killer but a hard working fighter.

Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.

Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.

Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis.
