In honour of the great boxing commentator, who passed away this week aged 84, Sport.co.uk rounds up 10 of his most memorable quotes…
''Ah, isn't that nice - the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew.''
“Marvellous oriental pace he's got, just like a Buddhist statue.”
"It's not one of Bruno's fastest wins... but it's one of them."
“It's quite clear Virginia Wade is thriving on the pressure, now the pressure on her to do well is off.”
“Magri has to do well against the unknown Mexican, who comes from a famous family of five boxing brothers.”
“We haven't had any more rain since it stopped raining.”
“They said it would last two rounds. They were half right - it lasted four.”
“This boxer is doing what's expected of him, bleeding from the nose.”
“Go on, get in there Frank.”
“Suddenly Ali looks very tired indeed. In fact Ali, at times now, looks as though he can barely lift his arms up . . . Oh, he's got him with a right hand! He's got him! Oh, you can't believe it. And I don't think Foreman's going to get up. He's trying to beat the count. And he's out! Oh my God, he's won the title back at 32!”
