Howard Cosell's condamnation of boxing

That fight should've never taken place, and it should've been stopped Tex took a ass whooping.

 

He wasn't even a boxing fan when he was ostensibly a boxing fan, if you know what I mean.

He was a cheerleader for certain fighters and full of negativity toward most others. Sort of the Larry Merchant of his day. (except an even bigger ****)

 

tele savalas actually taught howard psychology!! True story.

 

He's right that many people involved with boxing are jackasses.

 

Don & bob!!

 

Nobody then or now really needed Howard to inform them of that.

 

So true.

 

Personally, I don't give a **** what reporters think. Just report on the news (what is happening) and shut up about your opinion. I wish people in the media would do this.

For example: Bob Costas is an arrogant wind bag.

 

Costas is a godsend after the Cossell era.

 

Howard Cosell was an extremely arrogant and pompous individual that made an awful lot of money positioning himself up the asses of the two great attractions in the sport's history in Muhammed Ali and Ray Leonard. We all know boxing is a corrupt sport as it amounts to 2 people beating each other up for our enjoyment. But for him to make those statements after making his cash from the aforementioned 2 indicates his balderdash.

 

Howard only said that because he was informed he was being taken off ABC's boxing coverage well before the Holmes-Cobb fight that was just his excuse.

 

:deal

Basically, Larry's dick wasn't as yummy as that of Larry's own idol. His was a pale imitation of "The Greatest" ***** flavor.

100% guaranteed had it been the original article in there beating up Cobb, not a peep of complaint would have been uttered.

 

But Howard Cossell was attracted to Larry and made a move on him.

WTF.

[Cosell always struck me as a very strange man. One time, Howard, Don King, and I were sitting at the bar in Caesars, and I felt
this hand rubbing on my knee and then up my thigh. What the
hell is this? It was goddamned Howard, I looked at Cosell and
growled: "What you doing, manil? Get your hand off me!"

Howard turned it into a joke, slurring his words and saying,
"But I love you, Larry. I wanna make love to you," King started
laughing his big dumb laugh — "Har, har, har... It bothered me
a lot because even if it was a joke, his touching me there wasn't
funny.

A year later, we were at Caesars again, right after the Cooney
fight, and this time Diane was sitting with us. Damned if I didn't
feel Cosell's hand rubbing me in the same place. I got angry
again. Don laughed in the same way. And Cosell turned to Diane
and slurred, "What do you see in this guy? I could treat you so
much better than he does. Why don't you come away with me?"
Supposedly he was kidding again.]
