Who Said It?

Jake Lamotta?

 

Larry Holmes.

 

Everyone given up on my quote?:crafty:

 

Damn.::

 

Perhaps we should change the agenda to simply favourite quotes.

 

Okay, who said it......


"At school they said don't do boxin', boxin' makes you stoopid".????

 

Yep. who said your quote?

 

Nah this is more fun!

 

Tommy Hearns? Evander Holyfield?

 

Sly's investigative powers know no bounds. ::::::

 

HINT: It was during Carlos El Famoso Hernandez walkin for hs fight with Mayweather.

 

Another Duran quote along similar lines...

"There is only one legend, & that is me." LOL. Her'e's another great Lightweight showcasing his humility...

"I don't care who he is, I can make him miss. If I don't want God to touch me, he won't."

 

Gotta love Roberto.
artie:

 

Pernel?

 

Doubtless.

 

Well Benny Leonard crossed my mind, but such braggadocio really didn't seem his style.

How bout this: “boxing is the sport which all others aspire toâ€￾

 

Reporter: "Would you go on, even if you lose over there?"

???: "Beg your pardon?"

Reporter: "You might retire, if you were to lose?"

???: "I beg your pardon?"

That's confidence.

 

Merchant?

 

Here's another one that's more well known but hilarious.

After winning a close decision, a fan in the crowd in the post fight press conference says something along the lines of "Great job, i think you won the fight!"

Fighter replies: "What fight were you watching?" ::

 

Close....(probably literally so at the time)

 

::Good one. Be interested to know who this one's from.

 

I actually thought of Lampley as well. He's articulate in his speech, & I could see him saying that. He the man?

 

Haha, he was probably sitting right between both of them, but no. It was Big George. He also said this one I like: 'That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.'

How about this one: 'Boxing to me seems barbaric. I don't really like it'

 

Spinks?

 

This, incidentally, was Foreman, en route to Zaire.

 

Nope. It's not Chris Eubank or Mike Tyson either, though they said plenty of similar things.

 

Damn missed that one. I woulda got that as well.::

 

Foreman in Zaire?

 

I think he was there when he said it, no? He also added that "He may think he may need to be in the hawshpittal"
