    It's friday and I'm pissed off, so thought I'd start a thread. What are the most idiotic comments about boxing that you have heard, preferably by a professional?

    I brought a boxset once that included 'The History of heavyweight boxing' whereby the narrator claimed that Gene Tunney had only ever lost once, against JOURNEYMEN Harry Greb! I didn't no whether to laugh or cry.

    I also see Burt Sugar claim that Gene Tunney was a top 5 ATG heavyweight 'because he had a great Light heavyweight Career' and that Lennox Lewis was 'somewhere around the 19th or 20th mark, behind Corbett and Sullivan'.

    Damn.

    Any others?

    Manny Steward on Jorge Linares during Linares-DeMarco(not verbatim, but it's pretty much what he said):

    ''This may just be the greatest fighter I have ever saw.''

    What!!!!!!

    Sugar, genuinely, knows nothing! He just spews bollocks that any objective person could check a few sources and see he's talking shite. I hate the guy.

    Floyds 'I'm better than Ali and Robinson because I've never lost' was a particularly misguided comment.

    "I'm preparing for my fight against Matthew Hatton by watching Ricky Hatton, as I think he's the better of the two". You could see and feel the embarrassment from everyone else in the room.

    Miguel's classic 'arm punches' comment was truly legendary, anyone got the quote?
