    No, it was after a fender bender, where he was traveling with a journalist and the other motorist involved called him every bad name under the sun

    thats class ^^ :)


    ...as ernie tyrell stated in an interview, when asked about boxing today - he said..
    "well, it's kinda hard to follow...especially when you have 4 world champions...but only 1 world...so, i dunno.."
    (and him the fella who was happy to have two world champs in 65/66)


    and..after the galento fight when max baer was asked about the left hook he hit 'two ton tony' with..."yeah...i cut his mouth up a little bit...he'll have a hard time eating spaghetti now.."

    Ok, this one isnt famous but i thought i would share it here.

    Years ago, an amateur club went down to another boxing club out in the sticks for a clubfight. The hall they went to was dilapitated as was the ring and instead of a bell they had a biscuit (cookie) tin.

    One of the guys was fighting the hosts top fighter and at the end of the 1st round he continued to hit the guy 5 or 6 punches before the referee pulled him away and disqualified him. His coach was livid and asked him why he kept hitting this guy. His reply was, " I never heard the biscuit tin"

    A few of my favorites:
    1) Willie Pastrano, after hitting the deck twice in the round at MSG early in his career after rising.
    Ref: "Do you know where you are?"
    Willie: "Hell yes I know, I'm in the middle of Madison Square Garden gettin' the **** kicked outta me!"
    2) FOTC
    Ali: "Don't you know who I am? I'm God!"
    Frazier: "Well God's gonna get his ass kicked tonight!"
    3) I can't find the exact quote but Joe Louis clocked an opponent (late 30's/early 40's) in the first round and the fighter immediately turned to the ref and said: "Hey Eddie, let's go dancin' up on the roof" The ref stopped the fight immediately.
    4) Can't recall the fighters but the bell rang to start one of the middle rounds and Fighter A extends his arms to touch gloves.
    Fighter B: "This isn't the final round"
    Fighter A: "It is for you"

    I believe your number 4 was Sam Langford to an opponent - Turkey Thompson I believe?

    It's like you're not even reading. Joe's just telling you his story over a beer. Short and to the point.
