The day after Carl Williams challenged Larry Holmes for the heavyweight championship of the world, a New York newspaper’s headline read, “The Truth Hurts.†Williams out-jabbed one of the greatest jabbers in history and hurt Holmes throughout the 15 rounds but the decision went to Holmes. Yes the truth hurt that night but it was Williams who was left to feel most of the pain. http://www.fightbeat.com/article_detail.php?AT=465
Every old fighter always says that their era was so much tougher. Hell even Larry Holmes was talking sh*t about guys like Holyfield, Tyson, and Lewis, saying none of those guys could've competed in the 70s. It's all rubbish, not even worth reading.
