I'll still take ol' Howie over the Max Kellerman's and Jim Lampley's of the world!
He was great!!! My first memories of boxing!!! COSELL!!!! "UTTERLY WITHOUT BOXING SKILL! BUT ITS SLUGGING, THE WAY THE PUBLIC WANTS IT!!". HAHHAHA!!!
nobody told Waldimir bwaaaAAAAHAHAHA!!
Would have loved to have heard Cosell commentate Floyd or Wlad
THIS IS NOT ARTISTIC, BUT IT IS BORING
NOW WLAD GRABS BACK! NOW WLAD GRABS BACK!
DOWN GOES THE VIEWING AUDIENCE! DOWN GOES THE VIEWING AUDIENCE!
If Holmes/Tex didn't make him quit, seeing Wlad and Floyd dance and fart around the ring surely would have!
Cosell would have said "whatever happened to boxing I don't know" ..... Hahaha
Without doubt one of my favourite fights of all time!
Both throwing and taking massive punches non stop till one is beaten down, we just don't see fights like this anymore.
