[Vantage_West]

[Maxmomer]

I think Shavers dropped him once in their fight.

[Titan1]

Kevin Isaacs
Earnie Shavers
Renaldo Snipes
Mike Tyson.

[achillesthegreat]

Butterbean got a count on him :D

[OLD FOGEY]

shavers VERY HARD

and was it super greg page who knocked him down in the amateurs

He was knocked out twice by Nick Wells in 1972 in the amateurs.

In the pros, Kevin Isaac, Renaldo Snipes, Earnie Shavers, and, of course, Tyson.
And Butterbean.

[castle]

di Mike weaver not also drop Holmes

[DamonD]

Heh, the Butterbean one was a total slip...Holmes looked downright embarrassed about taking a count for that one, the ref was totally wrong but Larry just had to stand there and take the 8. The commentators were getting all giddy too but had to change their tune when the replays showed.

Does footage of Holmes-Isaacs exist? I'm guessing it'd be a flash KD, but it would be nice to see it.

I was gonna say, if it was legit, it would be highly embarrassing.

Unfortunately, super greg page didn't meet him, if they did, I'm sure it would've happened.

That's a very accurate summary. I have seen the tape and the commentators do a 180 once they see the instant replay, which CLEARY shows it was a slip. And yet to this day, Butterbean will still list the KD over Larry Holmes as among his career achievements. I remember he did it in an interview with DoghouseBoxing and they wouldn't even call bullshit on it. Oh well, it is. Butterbean you're a sad man.

Yeah, Larry was knocked out by Nick Wells in 1972, and turned pro in 1973.Page started boxing around 74/75, and truly started making waves around 75.

[mr. magoo]

In the pros

Shavers
Isaac
Weaver
Snipes
Tyson
Butterbean

Not sure about the amateurs.

[Duodenum]

Page started boxing around 74/75, and truly started making waves around 75.Page truly started making waves in infancy, when he was given his first bath, and whenever he entered water from that time forth.

[Marciano Frazier]

can anybody help me? i know that tyson knocked him out but who els could drop him? He was also down against Kevin Isaac, Earnie Shavers, Renaldo Snipes and Butterbean.

[Duodenum]

He was also down against Kevin Isaac, Earnie Shavers, Renaldo Snipes and Butterbean.As I recall, the only part of Larry's body which touched the canvas against Butterbean were his feet. Basically, the wind from a missed hook by Esch sent Holmes stumbling backwards into a corner, and the asinine referee administered a standing eight count which Holmes was laughing at, the idiot ref's ruling being such a ridiculous call. In later interviews, Beanfart described Holmes as being "flat on his back," apparently forgetting that cameras were recording the action. If Beanfart is going to make up lies like that, then he should make sure no cameras are present. (And if he genuinely believes he punched Larry down on his back, then Esch should be given psychiatric care for learning to discriminate between fantasy and reality.)

Beanfart certainly is a fraud by most people's standards. I can't even believe that Beanfart could even qualify for a license as a professional fighter.

[Street Lethal]

Are you sure Weaver knocked him down? I don't remember that.

[Titan1]

Page truly started making waves in infancy, when he was given his first bath, and whenever he entered water from that time forth.:yep :good

[Duodenum]

Are you sure Weaver knocked him down? I don't remember that.He was not floored against Weaver.

[Duodenum]

Beanfart certainly is a fraud by most people's standards. I can't even believe that Beanfart could even qualify for a license as a professional fighter.Do you think Beanfart might qualify as a challenger to Tsunami Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut in next year's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest?

[Smokin'Joe100]

That Shavers Knockdown, shit i thought Larry was killed, didnt even dream that he'd get up. Now watch Butterbeans "knockdown" and Shavers, you an clearly see a difference :yep

I think Bean fart can do anything that he puts his mind, uh I mean stomach to.

[DamonD]

He was dropped and dropped HARD versus Shavers. My god..how Larry ever got up from that I'll never know.
Think it was one of those Morrison-Ruddock type punches...the impact when they hit the mat wakes 'em up! ;) Holmes goes down like he's been shot.

[Vantage_West]
