Anyone remember the Larry Holmes/Randal 'Tex' Cobb fight?

Cobb took a 15 round beating from Holmes in the fight that made Howard Cosell swear off announcing boxing for good. He never lost his feet, incredibly. The ref received quite a bit of criticism for not calling the fight. Cobb's comment to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show: "I think I might have worn him out if we had gone another 15 rounds."

He was being sarcastic with that statement, Hillary.
