I always like this one when Hagler was talking about Hearns "He was going to make two million dollars and then he turned down two million dollars,"He started complaining about his little baby pinkie. Do you know how many people would give a million dollars for that little baby pinkie? They'd cut that thing off."

“Yumpin’ Yimminy!” My MAN, Ingemar’s first utterings upon being revived from Floyd’s “fluke” left hook KO. Well, at least that’s what I reckon the thinking man’s GOAT might’ve said. Then there was this gem (for real, with a bit of free licence on phonetics) “Enema…. enema……enema, I love youse ALL!” Credit to: The apparently “blocked up” Marrickville Mauler, Jeff Fenech.
Tyson on Tyrell Biggs " Every time I hit him to the body he was sounding like a woman oh oh". Or something to that effect.
"The judges, referees and promoters can kiss me where the sun don’t shine - and because we’re on HBO, that’s my big black behind".... you're far closer to Ali in fighting ability than rhyming ability, Larry.
