    Billy Joe Saunders in his lost to Canelo not only because of his trash talking to Canelo but his comments regarding Daniel Dubois' loss to Joyce.


    "I'm going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a negro" - James Jeffries before the Jack Johnson fight.

    Prince Naseem Hamed before and, amazingly, even after his bout with Marco Antonio Barrera. He even got his comeuppance on his ring entrance when a fan in the crowd flung his beer at him ruining his magic carpet ride into the ring.

    If I remember correctly in the fight where Max Baer killed someone there was a lot of trash talking going on with the opponents friends corner or family. Can’t remember been awhile since I read his biography

    James Jeffries had a few lines worth remembering before being completely dismembered by Jack Johnson...
