I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself."

    Johnny Lewis to Shannon Taylor in between rounds -

    "Do it for your Dad Shannon."

    Response

    "My Dad's a c-nt Johnny."

    Enough said!

    I've never actually seen the footage but plenty say they saw it. If true, that's gold.


    Also Bernard's Europe assumption of where Australia is up there.

    the quote about Lennox Lewis by Mike Tyson is wrong, I should know I have it as a ring-tone! Very humorous moment though and well impersonated by Matt Damon in Stuck On You

    He called me a ‘******’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse

    This is by far my fav Iron Mike quote of all time. Pure gold!

    "I'm going to eat his children."
    - Mike Tyson to Lennox Lewis before their fight. Lewis replied by telling the media that he did not have any children.

    "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton."
    - Dan Duva, Boxing promoter, on Mike Tyson hooking up again with promoter Don King

    "He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is."
    - Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota

    "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing - but none of them really that serious."

    "Just think about it," said the boxer to his manager. "Tonight I'll be fighting on television before millions of people."

    "Yes," replied his manager, "and they'll all know the results of the fight at least ten seconds before you do!"

    "As a matter of fact, I want to change my name," Mundine said.

    "From this date forth, I don't want to be known as Anthony 'The Man' Mundine. I want to be known as Anthony 'The Pioneer' Mundine. I'm into doing s---, being the pioneer, and doing stuff that ain't been done and this is a history-making fight."
