What's your favorite quote by a fighter

Wasn't it something like (paraphrase) "After getting Cosell out of boxing, my next feat will be to cure cancer."? Or something like that.

 

"****" - James Nathaniel Toney on April 26th 2003.

 

I loved Ali

He was one of a kind.

I could remember when he saw Lionel Ritchie performing in Vegas and went up to him for a request "could you play my favorite song, Once, twice, three times a champion"

 

I dont remember but it works for me lol

 

one of my favourite quotes is not from a boxer, but a response from a boxer´s wife - does that count?

chuck weppner to his wife before the ali fight:
"tonight you´ re going to sleep with the heavyweight champion of the world!".

his wife to chuck after the fight:
"will he come to my room or do i go to his?".

 

"If he dies, he dies"

 

the bizarre effect was only completed by the priceless reaction and stutter from the interviewer, who looked too afraid (and puzzled) to dare to doubt the force-of-nature tyson:
"your back is what ... ?" - "MY BACK IS BROKEN! - SPINAL !!!" - " ... ah ... " (thinking: if you say so, well ... then ... )

[paraphrasing]

 

David Haye calling a room full of scousers "these ****ing ******s" was brilliant.

 

“To all you young fighters out there ...if you’re facing an opponent with phenomenal speed ...just use your jab “ - Vernon Forrest

 

“ Do you smile when you go to work in the morning ? “ - Sonny Liston ( on why he always looked so mean )

 

Julio Cesar Chavez : “ Do you still think I only fight cab drivers from Tijuana ?” ..... Greg Haugen : “ They must have been some pretty tough cab drivers “. Even Chavez laughed out loud

 

Bernard Hopkins says he doesn’t wanna lose to a white guy ....I don’t wanna lose to a white guy either .....or a black guy....or a red guy ...or a blue guy “- Joe Calzaghe

 

Five-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis held a “Turkey Giveaway” on Tuesday, as the WBA Lightweight Champion, along with Mayweather Promotions, handed out 150 turkeys, plus gift cards and more to Las Vegas residents.

GERVONTA DAVIS Quote:
“I really didn't have a family that was together to celebrate Thanksgiving when I was young, but now I have my two little daughters, so I'm definitely looking forward to the holidays.
