    Something that makes me cringe and feel is just stupid to say which I think Mayweather said a lot about an opponent was 'He's trying to the the food from kids' mouth' or something along those lines.

    After a fight, when the interviewer asks the winner who he'd like to fight next; "I just have to talk to my team and ... ". I'd like more guys to grab viewers attention and call someone out. It's their one chance to speak to the audience completely unfiltered - stop being generic and speak your mind.

    Michael Spinks, after been run over in 91 seconds by a laser fast Mike Tyson.

    "I told you I wasn't going to run"

    Translation: I didn't get a chance to run away!:biggrin:

    'it is what it is'

    this phrase iv realised is only used by simpletons in general. Many boxers use it and it's bloody annoying

    i want to fight the best

    ​
    or the qualified version:


    i want the fights that the fans want to see most

    ​
    among fighters who have recently said the latter publicly (multiple times, in fact): Canelo Alvarez and Danny Garcia.
