    Ali had too many to name. A few that I remember were Tyson's ridiculous rant how was the most ruthless champion ever. I wanna eat his heart I wanna eat his children blah blah blah.

    RJJ I'm awful crucial with these hands when talking to an interviewer post fight. Another rant of his was if you beat me I'll come and get it back. I'll come and get it back. Also to Hopkins " 60-40 you'll get your ass kicked. 60-40 I'll kick your ass "

    Dela hoya in 99 before fighting oba carr " you have to have charisma. I don't know what that iiiiiiiisssssss. But you have to have charisma " sounded ****ing ridiculous.

    Naseem Hamed had a lot.

    Some of my favs...from memory so perhaps slight paraphrase.

    TEX COBB
    "When I got up I stuck to my plan, stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."

    A ton more from Tex:
    classic-cobb-quotes.61977

    IRAN BARKLEY
    (when a reporter asked what he planned to do after retiring from boxing) Rob your house.

    WILLE PASTRANO
    (When Angelo Dundee said he has Sonny Liston's number) Yeah, a .38 or a .45.

    SAM LANGFORD
    (When the trailer for his opponent said he was slicing oranges for his fighter to suck on between rounds) Man, you ain't gonna need them oranges.

    Also,

    I hope you don't mind if I keep this short but I got a train to catch.

    Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face.
