Classic Boxing Haiku

[UpWithEvil]

Larry Holmes

A mighty jabber!
One other thing he could do?
Carry a jockstrap!


Harry Greb

Oh! How I still pray
For a few minutes of film
Of Greb in action


Sugar Ray Leonard

I heard Duran say,
"Sugar! Oh, honey honey!"
"No, no mas, papi!"


Evander Holyfield

"Pass me the needle."
"Not that one, the one Lee mixed"
Hulkamania!


Alexis Arguello

Did boxing deserve
A man of such dignity?
Fuck Aaron Pryor


Willie Pep

A defensive wiz
Cats envied his reflexes
You know you do too

[prime]

Cool. Keep them coming.

Bob Fitzsimmons

Punching deity
Never wore Corbett's thong, though
What a shame that was

James Toney

Haikus don't make sense
They seem like random mashed words
Much like Toney's speech.
