Larry-Holmes

  Larry Holmes (born November 3, 1949 in Cuthbert, Georgia) is a former world heavyweight boxing champion. Noted boxing historian Bert Sugar has listed Holmes as one of the greatest boxers in history (Sugar 2006).

Holmes was born in Georgia, but he has spent the majority of his life in Easton, Pennsylvania, in the state's Lehigh Valley region, from which Holmes gained his famed boxing nickname, "The Easton Assassin".

Holmes won his first 48 professional fights, falling just one short of matching Rocky Marciano's all-time boxing record for heavywieghts of 49 consecutive wins to start a boxing career.

In a 1978 fight generally considered one of the sport's greatest ever, Holmes went toe-to-toe with boxing great Ken Norton, winning the majority of rounds in a closely contested fight that gave Holmes the world heavyweight championship. Holmes defended his heavyweight championship against some of the sport's greatest fighters, including the legendary Muhammad Ali, whose trainer intervened to stop Holmes' battering of Ali in the tenth round.
