Boxing’s Larry Holmes, long underrated, now cast in bronze (The Associated Press)
Boxing great Larry Holmes has never felt fully appreciated in his Pennsylvania hometown of Easton. Decades after succeeding Muhammad Ali as heavyweight champ, Holmes is finally getting the bronze – a 9-foot bronze statue. Holmes plans to be on hand this weekend as a high school marching band leads a parade in his honor and a monument to the ”Easton Assassin” is unveiled and dedicated.
