    That was a humiliating fight to watch one I truthfully hate- pair that with my favourite classic game and you get mixed feelings.

    The fight that put Cosell out of boxing which to be frank was pretty weak on Howie's part.

    Cobbs reaction?

    "When told that his fight with Holmes drove Cosell out of boxing, Cobb said, “If I eliminate heart disease, if I walk on water, if I come up with a cure for crippled kids, I can’t image a greater gift to mankind. That is my greatest accomplishment.”

    Such an entertainer. He and Holmes grew quite close.

    Randy always said his greatest contribution to the sport was ridding Cosell from it after Howie said he was quitting the sport because of this one sided affair. Thanks, Randy

    "Larry gave me Some good memories...he took away some too".

    "You're white, help me...!" (Addressing the ref).

    Cobb is a gold mine of amusement.

    The affection Randall and Gerry Cooney in particular have for Larry to this day speaks to the mutual respect.
