I expect this thread to be littered with Ali quotes, but let's start with Smokin' Joe for a change. "Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book." Kill the body and the head will die.
<<<<<--------This guy. When Cobb heard what Cosell had said during the Holmes fight "I'll go another 15 rounds with Holmes if Howard will quit announcing football!" "I stuck to my game plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face." "They called me a fat, cowardly, cocaine-snorting, fight-fixing cheat," Who they calling fat!"
When Max Baer took a shellaking from Joe Louis in the first round his corner said don't worry he didn't touch you. Baer replied 'well you better keep your eye on the ref cos someone out there is beating the hell out of me'. Love it
"when I fight,I fight for both Britain and Zimbabwe, But I lost my virginity in this country so I feel more British" Derek Chisora
Tyson after Bruno I -- "He hit me like a ****ing mule kicks." James Toney -- "You got to bring ass to get ass."
Sorry it's an Ali one:yep "I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on." I laughed my head off when I first read that. If he was not a boxer he should have been a comedian
After Ray Robinson hit him with the perfect left hook, Gene Fullmer asked his trainer why Ray Robinson was dancing between rounds.
Sorry, this is an Ali quote too, but i think it is a great quote. Talking about about how his fight with Earnie Shavers: "He hit me so hard it shook the skin of my ancestors in Africa."
"I think you saw more action in these four rounds.. then you'ev seen in Lil' Floydies entire career!"- Ricky Hatton. .. then Floyd knocks him out...
