    RJJ saying "He's not getting up, Jim!" when JMM starched Manny was probably the comment of that decade.

    Any more?

    For comedy, I always liked Foreman's little bit of wisdom in the first round of Jones-Ruiz: "The referee is the most important man in the ring apart from the two fighters!" Nice one, George.

    " I wouldn't be surprised if someone goes down in the first round."
    "Quite Naturally."
    " These 2 fighters are here for one reason; to get to me!"

    Because that one is so historic and the upset was so huge and emphatic, it will definitely never be forgotten. A couple of years back I watched Frazier-Ellis I. Cosell did it then, too: "Down goes Ellis! Down goes Ellis!"
