"Everyone has a plan until they get hit"

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!"

"Hard work, dedication!"

"Let's get ready to rrrrrrumble!"

 

The Great Randall "Tex" Cobb

"If you screw things up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass."

(When informed that Howard Cosell quit boxing after his fight with Larry Holmes) "My gift to boxing."

When asked about how he was going to fight Holmes by Howard Cosell "Well Howie, I think I'm going to stay outside and outjab him"

(Asked about a possible rematch against Larry Holmes) "I dont think his hands can take the abuse"

Asked about fighting Holmes again "Only if it's held in a phone booth"

"Larry Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him."

"Larry Holmes didn't beat me he just won the first 15 rounds"

Mills Lane stopped the action to ask Cobb if he was okay in a fight in Reno. When Cobb replied that he was, Lane asked him, "Do you know where you are?" Cobb replied, "I am in Reno, getting the **** kicked out of me."

Versus Larry Holmes, the action was stopped so the ref could check on Cobb. He asked him, "Do you see me?" Cobb replies, "Yeah. You're white. It's the black guy I'm worried about."

"Earnie Shavers could punch you in the neck and break your ankle".

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 asked about continuing his career) "Better than getting a real job, right!"

"I was only knocked out once, by a Mexican bantamweight, you wanna know how come? Six of my pals were swinging him 'round by his heels at the time.."

"I'll do anything to keep from working for a living, if I've gotta fight a circus bear, then let's get the drawers on him and get it on!!"

When tex cobb was on Johnny Carson soon after the Holmes fight, Carson commented on how Holmes kept landing his jab on Cobb. Cobb said "you noticed that too?"

During the referee's instructions prior to his bout with Shavers, the ref asked the customary "Any questions"? Cobb replied "Can I bite him"?

 

Boxing has more stories to tell than any other sport IMO. Good boxers seem to come from some sort of adversity, its almost a sad necessity. Anyway, I think that's the basis from where these quotes come from.

"Its not about how many times you get knocked down, its about how many times you get back up that count."

 

"Swim without getting wet".

"What's my name?"

"No mas".

 

"My socks."
"Clito Reyes gloves."
"Blood tests made me weak."
"My shoulder".

Anyone want to guess lmao

 

Is it the guy who was suffering from severe dehydration?

 

"Excuses, excuses, excuses".

 

Lol. No but god told him he was going to lose that fight prior. You can't make this sheet up.

 

“I’m not a creator. What I do is discover and uncover. See my job is to take the spark and fan it. When it starts to become a little flame I feed it, and I feed the fire until it becomes a roaring blaze, and then when it turns to a roaring blaze I pour used logs on it. Then you really got a fire going.”

Cus d'amato

My favourite boxing quote of all time.

 

Ooooooooooh snap!!

 

“Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand.”

Who said this lmao

 

"I don't fight for legacy. I don't fight for none of that, I fight for that check. I'm in the check cashing business."
This is an easy one.
