I never liked Larry Holmes. He was a crybaby who said "Marciano couldn't carry my jock strap." He reminded me of Rodney Dangerfield who kept saying, "I don't get no respect." When Spinks knocked him on his ass I cheered.

He did, however hold the title for almost as long as Louis.

He also refused to fight Foreman. Can't say I blame him.

Carmen Basilio was one tough SOB. He defeated Robinson but Robinson cleaned his clock when he tried to be the middleweight champ. Robinson cleaned a lot of clocks. Arguably the best pound for pound ever.
