Boxing legend Larry Holmes is definitely no fan of the current crop of heavyweights.

The iconic former world champion, who ruled the glamour division between 1978 and 1985 and fought both Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, is now 72 years of age.

Watching on as a spectator in 2022, Holmes is not impressed.

“They throw punches like this [from their waist] for a jab, you don’t throw a punch like that, you throw straight.

“You can’t hit me with that right hand because this hand’s here to protect me.

“They don’t know how to throw a one-two, and move out to protect yourself.”

Responding to a counter-argument about Fury’s impressive movement, Holmes said: “He’s gotta move like Larry Holmes, that’s what he’s gotta move like.
