I think another reason Cosell got so sick of boxing was because of what happened to Muhammad ali...he was with ali since the early 60s and seeing him turn into a boxing statistic because of the fights he had prolly killed a lot of his love for boxing

i always thought...

larry really could have beat tyson. he got knocked out in the early rounds.... but mike would have faded... he just never made it to that point. larry was doing commentary for some tyson fights on espn and when they showed that fight he said he was was about to throw a uppercut at the point he got knocked out but his arm got caught in the ropes and he couldnt move. thats when mike knocked him out. i watched it again in slow mo never knowing that and he was right. he said he would have won if not on account of that.

It's true his arm got caught, but he wouldn't have fazed Mike one bit. He was getting his lunch took that night regardless
