      Who knew Tex Cobb was the Jeff Ross of boxer roasts. Hell I didn't even realize there were boxer roasts. Hilarious.

        When told that his fight with Holmes drove Howard 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."

              Haha that's awesome. So many people HATED Cosell back in those days, it's funny how his image has changed over the years. I've read a lot of stories from fighters back in those times and he was viewed negatively by many.
