    I never liked the guy,...
    He’s probably the most underrated and under appreciated heavyweight champion ever.

    I’d make a prime Holmes a good bet to beat any heavyweight ever

    Is there any athlete, movie, actor, band, TV show or brand name that's rated just exactly right?

    The great ones are usually actually great. And the shitty ones are usually actually shitty.

    It’s a good soup. It’s a hot soup. It’s a liquid soup

    I'll give you that. I wouldm't expect him to beat Lewis or Tyson, for ecample. But he'd have a shot.
