RIP. My favorite sports story. Heavyweight champ at 25/28 and 45.
But I'm partial to Billy Mills 1964 10km gold medal in Tokyo. I love how the co-announcer loses his mind on the American broadcast of the race, because the two favorites were favored so heavily.

It's my favorite sports call of all-time, too.
Billy Mills is a Native American who faced poverty on his reservation and cruel racism in college. A true American hero.
