    well..ali is the obvious...but my favourite was the frazier response to him during one of their fights...when ali was shouting 'don't you know i'm god'

    "well god...you're in the wrong place tonight" :)

    You could see Gerald Mclellan talking in Nigel Benn's ear in their fight and i doubt it was pleasentries. Remarks about Nigels mother is my guess.

    Max Baer and Tony Galento were exchanging pleasantries the overhead microphone was picking up.

    Probably asking him to stop the rabbit punching & throwing wild off blance punches like a six year old school girl which eventually caused him to headbutt GMan.

    It was a good act. All that work just to rile up the fans. Still succeeds to this day. Quote in point.

    David Telesco, while taking an ass-kicking from Roy Jones, was saying things like "you can't take me down", and "you're a *****" in the last couple of rounds.

    Gerrie Coetzee psyched Leon Spinks out badly in the first round of their fight, just moments before the knockout. Not suprising considering Leon's fragile mental make-up but it's often ignored when the fight is discussed.

    Hagler mouthing "Motherfuuuuucker" after Mugabi landed an uppercut on him that snapped his head backwards. :lol::lol::lol:
