    How many boxers have you heard say this?


    I have read that is a quote from Jack Johnson

    Archie Moore said the same thing


    I might be wrong, but did Liston also say this?

    That's the quote on Peter Jackson's grave also. Years ago striving to be a man meant something!

    liston didn't say it, but it's on his epitaph - "Charles 'Sonny' Liston - A man"

    Yeah, I guessed it was a Liston quote before opening the thread.
