Favorite all time boxing quote

Derrick Jefferson after getting knocked out by Wlad Klitschko was asked what's in the future for him:

"I'm a three sport athlete. Who knows? Maybe I'll take up golf."


Fernando Vargas, when asked what he was thinking when he was knocked down by Wilfredo Rivera:

"You want to know exactly what I was thinking?...Shit, you better get up."

 

My all time fav boxing quote?

"I'm a bad man!" - Ali.

I still chuckle at that! ::

 

Reporter "Have you seen the champ Sonny Liston"

Ali "Isn't he ugly"

 

After JC Chavez easily destroyed Greg Haugen who had talked about Chavez's resume being phoney, a reporter asked Chavez if he was upset because Haugen said that 60 of his wins were against Tijuana cab drivers.

"No. Most of those cab drivers were tougher than him!" -JC Chavez :laughing:

This next one isn't an EXACT quote but close:

"He(Clay) called me an Uncle Tom. I didn't even know what an Uncle Tom was. I thought it was somebody who peeked through people's windows." -Joe Frazier (completely serious) ::

 

No, it was defintely against Jesse Ferguson. It was a Saturday afternoon network TV fight too which meant a lot of young fans (like us) watching. opcorn:

 

Randall 'Tex' Cobb:
"I miss having bottle fatigue. Abstinence is for monks - not for me. This kind of life is really over-rated. I mean, I'm actually getting to sleep before I have breakfast."

"No, Holmes don't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. No-one hits as hard as Shavers. If there was a fighter that hit harder than Shavers, I shoot him!"

"Boxing writers are the only people out there who have less constructive jobs than what I do. I don't do nothing but hit people, and those motherfuckers don't do nothing but write about what I do!"

"Yeah, I've been KO'd. Once. By a Mexican bantamweight. How come? Six of my buddies were swinging him around by the heels at the time"

:: :bears:

 

ref: "are you all right?"
eric harding: "i'm from philadelphia!"

I remember one fight they were saying how Zab Judah has so much diamonds in his grill.

Larry: "A mouth full of diamonds encased in glass"::

Bowe vs Golota 2

When Bowe went down and Golota was pounding on him on the ropes.

"It's going to take a herculean effort for Bowe to make it out of this round!" - Lampley

Lewis vs Grant

When Lewis landed that big right hand and Grant just falls hard.


"OOOH, HE BROKE HIS LEG!" - Foreman

 

Say no to drugs.
