      Dunphy was great! If I could have Cosell calling the fight I wanted Dunphy.

                Howard William Cosell, born Howard William Cohen (March 25, 1918 – April 23, 1995)

                I enjoyed Howard, he was great.

                He left boxing because it was too brutal of a sport and boxers were not being taken care of.

                He wrote his autobiography, I Never Played the Game.
