This is a clip of 32 year old Larry Holmes knocking out 25 year old Gerry Cooney. Holmes was 6'3 and Cooney was 6'6. You can tell the height difference in the clip.

Holmes was the dominant heavyweight champion for the 1st half of the 1980s while Mike Tyson was the dominant heavyweight champion for the 2nd half of the 1980s.

He was a very good boxer and I think he is underrated. People hate on him for that Ali fight and losing to Tyson (IMHO the most overrated heavyweight of all times) after Don King dragged him out of retirement. Guy was fat and drinking heavily prior to fighting him iirc.
