re: OT: Because we all need a good laugh

Randall Tex Cobb was on the Tonight Show after getting his arse whipped by Larry Holmes and Carson said something to the effect that it looked like Holmes had a little reach on him...Cobb responded "Did you notice that too?"

You don't get a lot of good quotes out of the boxing world but Cobb is the rare gem...he also said of promoter Don King:

"Don King is one of the great humanitarians of our time. He has risen above that great term prejudice. He has screwed everybody he has ever been around. Hog, dog or frog, it don’t matter to Don. If you got a quarter, he wants the first twenty-six cents."

And another one:

"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.."

Cobb was not a great fighter but he was the funniest one ever...
