Larry Holmes has played down talks of Tyson Fury being the greatest heavyweight of his generation because of his lack of competition.
Fury, who has previously declared himself as the best fighter to have ever lived, announced his retirement after knocking out Dillian Whyte in April to defend his heavyweight title. 'The Gypsy King' improved his unbeaten record to 33 fights with the win.
Holmes, 72, retired from boxing two decades ago and was one of the best heavyweights of his generation. He won the inaugural IBF heavyweight title and also reigned as WBC champion, the belt Fury currently holds, for five years.
