Champion for 7 1/2 years, defended his title 20 times, with that being said the WBA never ranked Holmes & Holmes fought top contenders.He is one of the greatest & if not the greatest heavyweight of all time.
I loved Larry Holmes, but he must be a comedian now if he believes he didn't lose any of the 6 fights he lost. He got flat out robbed in the rematch with Michael Spinks, but he clearly lost the first fight, got KNOCKED OUT by Mike Tyson (how is that not a loss?), lost decisively to Evander Holyfield and was a competitive loser to Oliver McCall. I didn't see the loss to Nielsen, but I'll take his word for it that he got robbed against a Dane in Denmark. So even with 2 asterisks, four losses.
@nobsref Like everybody Larry won some unjustified and lost some unjustified. And we all need some luck in life. Larry had his share to. In his fights with Norton Witherspoon and Williams the decision could just as well went to the other guy.

Which is still a great record, by the way! And I still think of Holmes every time I hear "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden and Whitehead ;)
