If you had a TIME MACHINE, which fight....

[Sugar Sting Ray]

If you had a time machine which ONE AND ONLY ONE fight would you watch live from ringside? You also get to watch both boxers train and do the publicity stuff for three weeks leading up to the fight. And after the fight, you get to have drinks separately with each fighter and talk boxing for hours.

Mine: Ali vs. Frazier III

The Greb-Tunney fight where Tunney's face almost came off. Just because I'd want to see if Greb was really as fast and relentless as they say.

You guys are so unoriginal.

Give me Tex Cobb vs Larry Holmes. I can't imagine better quips leading up to the fight and having drinks with Cobb afterwards would undoubtedly be hysterical even though he lost.

"If you screw things up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass."

(When informed that Howard Cosell quit boxing after his fight with Larry Holmes) "My gift to boxing."

When asked about how he was going to fight Holmes by Howard Cosell "Well Howie, I think I'm going to stay outside and outjab him"

(Asked about a possible rematch against Larry Holmes) "I dont think his hands can take the abuse"

Asked about fighting Holmes again "Only if it's held in a phone booth"

"Larry Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him."

"Larry Holmes didn't beat me he just won the first 15 rounds"

Mills Lane stopped the action to ask Cobb if he was okay in a fight in Reno. When Cobb replied that he was, Lane asked him, "Do you know where you are?" Cobb replied, "I am in Reno, getting the **** kicked out of me."

Versus Larry Holmes, the action was stopped so the ref could check on Cobb. He asked him, "Do you see me?" Cobb replies, "Yeah. You're white. It's the black guy I'm worried about."

"Earnie Shavers could punch you in the neck and break your ankle".

When Cobb heard what Cosell had said during the Holmes fight "I'll go another 15 rounds with Holmes if Howard will quit announcing football!"

"I stuck to my game plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."

"They called me a fat, cowardly, *******-snorting, fight-fixing
cheat," Who they calling fat!"

(When asked about continuing his career) "Better than getting a real job, right!"

"I was only knocked out once, by a Mexican bantamweight, you wanna know how come? Six of my pals were swinging him 'round by his heels at the time.."

"I'll do anything to keep from working for a living, if I've gotta fight a circus bear, then let's get the drawers on him and get it on!!"

When tex cobb was on Johnny Carson soon after the Holmes fight, Carson commented on how Holmes kept landing his jab on Cobb. Cobb said "you noticed that too?"

During the referee's instructions prior to his bout with Shavers, the ref asked the customary "Any questions"? Cobb replied "Can I bite him"?

I think you would be better served by going back and seeing Greb fight.

I've changed my mind. Sorry.

Louis vs. Schmelling II - World War before the real World War. Hitler doing the trash talking for Schmelling. Louis playing the humble Champion of the Allied Powers. Fear all across Europe. In-fighting within the United States between the pro-War movement and the pacifists. Great Depression economy. The whole Country transfixed.
