Howard Cosell: ‘Down goes Frazier!’

A couple of days ago we reached the 40th anniversary of one of the best calls in sports history. Joe Frazier was coming off a win over Muhammad Ali and then he ran into the beast that was George Forman. Howard Cosell had the call, as he repeated three times: “Down goes Frazier!” It’s one of the all-time great calls in sports.

As for Forman, he looked unbeatable after this fight, but then ran into Ali’s rope-a-dope in another stunning fight.
