I'm 40, in 2021.  I still remember the fear Tex invoked upon my soul in Raising Arizona as a kid.

"My friends call me Lenny, but I got no friends." Cobb is truly an amazing guy.

"Your fists can't handle the beating my face is giving them" the most legendary quote I've ever heard. Straight legend.

The punishment dished out in that heavyweight fight between Ernie Shavers and Tex Cobb was just unbelievable, that either man was left standing is one of the greatest mysteries in boxing. One of the best heavyweight fights of all time. Two Bruisers, they don’t fight like this anymore.

"His fists couldn't take the pounding my face would give them.". 😂😂😂. Legend.

42 - 7  with 35 ko's 1 draw and 1 no contest. He definitely proved himself in the ring.

Always liked and respected Tex Cobb one tough son of a gun

I have seen him in movies but I didn't realise that he was a kickboxer, boxer, and a nice guy to boot. Respect 👊🏿🙏🏿

I never knew Tex took the Shaver fight on a few days notice. That is insanity, what a LEGEND!

ace ventura: "that's a lovely dog you have there, sir.  do you mind if pet him?"

tex cobb: "i don't give a rat's ass."

“People in Hollywood don’t have a concept of reality, their reality is how good you can pretend” wise words from a tough man

My wife's family (Ellis) were close friends with the Cobb family when Randall was a kid in Bridge City/Orange. My father-in-law and Randall's dad worked together at Dupont in Orange. After his dad passed away his mom moved them out to Abilene. Randall and one of this brother's came back to Orange for a visit with the Ellis family after my wife and I were married. This was in the late 70s or early 80s. At the time I think he was training with Jimmy Young. My wife and her dad and Mom were at the fight in San Antonio against Ken Norton. They had 2nd row seats.

During that afternoon visit I have never laughed so hard in my life just listening to him describe his life and telling stories. He was a natural. Wish we could meet up again.

He was a man's man that enjoyed life to the fullest God bless him.

I met him so very briefly in 2000 when I delivered room service to him at the hotel I worked at. He flashed a warm smile and thanked me with a nice tip.

Tex Cobb is hilarious and highly intelligent

Dude had an iron jaw and a head made of concrete. He got hit by the hardest punchers of the 70s and I never saw him stunned?

I remember my old man telling me about Tex Cobb before he was an actor and he had fought some of the biggest heavyweights… I had no idea he beat Ernie Shavers. That’s insane

That's a tough Texan, and a strong, solid dude.  Tex, you have a toughness that few people have.  Regardless of wins,  you are a champion.  I wish more of us could be like you  .

"The people there don't have a concept of reality.  Their reality is how good you can pretend.". Perfection

These dudes took more punches to the head in one fight than a lot of modern fighters take in a career.
