Larry Barnes (born November 11, 1965)[2] is an American former professional boxer.
On November 18, 1995, (just one week after his thirtieth birthday) he challenged Felix Trinidad for the Puerto Rican's International Boxing Federation's world Welterweight title, losing by a fourth-round knockout.[3] Held at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the fight was broadcast live on HBO Boxing.[4] On September 18, 1998, he was a challenger for a world title again, fighting Mexican Yory Boy Campas for Campas' IBF world Super Welterweight title, losing to Campas by third-round knockout.[5] The Campas bout was in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Barnes retired after the Campas contest, with a record of 44 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw (tie) in 48 fights, with 17 wins and 2 losses by knockout. Two of his three losses were in world title fights. Barnes was the North American Boxing Federation's Welterweight champion, a title he won after beating Harold Brazier by a 12 rounds split decision on May 13, 1993, in New York, New York.[6]
