    “If that rendition doesnt move you, doesnt touch you, doesnt send a shiver along your spine, I dont suppose anything will. What remarkable performer, what a remarkable man.”

    Not as iconic I suppose but Cosells commentary coupled with Ray Charles performance that was electric.

    "It didn't go very far but it was a beauty"

    "If he weighs 205, his heart weights about 204"

    "IT HAPPENED, IT HAPPENED"

    Always loved how Marvin was always rooting for Tommy after their fight. That man was truly respectable and marvelous.

    "The bomber tattoo on his back is of course a reference to his punching power and not in any way insensitive to the tragedy which unfolded, in this arena, when Ariana Grande performed; Manchester will never forget."

    - Adam Smith

    Honestly still the strangest bit of commentary I've ever heard. Why on earth he thought of this no-one will know :lol:
