Sugar Ray Robinson when he fought George Costner, a fighter who also took the "Sugar" nickname as his own. Costner told reporters that "there's only room for one Sugar"

Right before the opening bell of the fight Robinson told Costner:

"We better touch gloves now, because this is the only round. You're name ain't Sugar, mine is."

The fight then ends in a first round KO.

 

Has to be the GOAT quote from a boxer's wife.

 

I believe the response was "Well, God, you're in the wrong place tonight".

 

That's the one, thanks for the correction.

Still a legendary quote.
