Larry was one of his main sparring partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe had charisma. He was beautiful and charming. Listen, even after I beat him in our fight in 1980, I went into his dressing room afterwards and he was lying on the bed having a rub-down because he was so sore. And I said, \u201cAli, you know I love you. You\u2019ve always been my man.\u201d And he said, \u201cIf you loved me, why did you beat me up?\u201d But he never held a grudge, even to the day he died. Even when he was sick, whenever I would see him he would fool around and say, \u201cI want Holmes!
