Larry Holmes: Citations en anglais

“When you constantly hear people talking about going the distance, going the distance, you can't help but wonder about it. I learned a lesson: next time I will fight my fight without that doubt.”

After the Cooney fight, as quoted in "Sport: Larry Holmes: I Still Have It" by Tom Callahan in TIME (21 June 1982) http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,925485-3,00.html.

“If you want to get technical about it, Rocky couldn't carry my jockstrap.”

Comparing himself to Rocky Marciano http://www.antekprizering.com/holmesspinksneimanprint.html.

“It wasn't about Larry Holmes, if I would have fought a brother I wouldn't have gotten the money I got. Give me 10 black guys and I make eight dollars. Give me Gerry Cooney and I make $10 million.”

On beating Gerry Cooney, billed as "the great white hope" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070630/ap_on_sp_bo_ne/box_tim_dahlberg063007
