 Larry Holmes: Against the Odds 		 

Browsing Options:

In Against the Odds, the reader will experience the uplifting odyssey that took Larry Holmes from a boxing nobody to a world champion. Holmes is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight champions of our time and held the title for more than seven years. But his rise to the top was hardly an easy one. His road to becoming the champion -- from which he would net $40 million -- was one requiring doggedness and extreme courage.

In his time, the greatest heavyweight champions were men whose path was made for them. We are speaking of George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, and Smokin' Joe Frazier, fighters who won fame as Olympic gold medallists, attracted financial backers, and were accorded special treatment as young professionals.

Larry Holmes, by contrast, was the equivalent of the outsider whose nose is pressed against the candy-store window. Yet despite being a seventh-grade dropout and routinely being treated by the boxing establishment as a body for other men to beat on, Holmes overcame a hard and impoverished childhood and the indifference to boxing's starmakers to become heavyweight champion, a title he held from 1978 to 1985.

Larry Holmes: Against the Odds is loaded with Holmes's personal opinions and revelations. He offers up:

  • The story of his life as one of twelve children raised by a single mother and the struggle to survive in poverty for the first sixteen years of his life.

  • A remarkable look at Muhammad Ali who few knew. Holmes shows his respect and appreciation for Ali and tells of his time and travels as Ali's sparring partner.

  • His early years as a boxer fighting for purses of $125 of $200 a fight. -A ringside seat and an insider's view for all of his big fights - - including those with Norton, Ali, and Cooney.

  • The showering of racial slurs and threats that dogged Larry before and after his fight with Gerry Cooney -- a man whom he later befriended....
