    That didn’t work out so well for Ricardo.

    He got one of boxings most well deserved arse kickings from Oscar for that.

    It’s one of my favourite fights for that very reason. Being brutally beaten into humbleness is part of the experience of life and we got to see Ricardo get his in the most physical and well understood way

    I don't think I can cough up a primary source on demand, no, but it's been mentioned multiple times both in print and higher-end (HBO etc) documentaries on Louis.

    Not trash talk but when Mayorga slapped Sugar Shane's wife voluptuous booty during there face off. Actions speak louder than words.

    Durans line after nearly killing ray Lampry is always a classic "next time he'll be in a morgue" that version of Duran had to be one of the scaryest humans ever.
