    "Ring sense is an art, a gift from God that flows out of a fighter like a great painting flows out of an artist, or a great book flows out of an author."


    "I never considered myself a trainer, I considered myself a teacher."

    I think that was Mickey in Rocky


    Michael Moorer coming back to the corner in the first Holyfield fight, only for Teddy Atlas to be sitting on the stool and suggesting he (Atlas) might be better off fighting Holyfield.

    Ray Arcel on Duran "No Mas":

    "I don't know what happened," said Ray Arcel. "Maybe his arm went, maybe his head went, maybe it was frustration, I just don't know."
