Joe Bugner was one of the few to get one over on Ali. At their first press conference to launch their fight in Vegas Ali started with, " You the ugliest white boy I ever saw ". " You should see my Sister " cracked Bugner.
You're right about Liston. He had some great one liners all delivered with a glower. When talking about a former Manager, Liston said " If I ever get the chair I hope they give him 10% of the juice ! ". After he stopped Chuck Wepner in his last ever fight, Sonny was asked if Wepner, who had to have 50 stitches in his cuts, was the bravest man he ever fought. Liston replied, " No but his Manager is ! "
After he had been blasted in 2 rounds by Ruben Olivares, a disconsolate Alan Rudkin had just got back to his dressing room when a power cut left it in pitch darkness. " That's the second time that's happened to me tonight ", said a high pitched Scouse voice in the gloom.
Not boasting but mine was better. But yours was a good effort too considering what you’re up against. Being a Mike Tyson fan can’t be easy with his effeminate ways throwing further confusion to your already overstretched brain capacity.
Just one of many from the king of boxing one liners....Randall Tex Cobb Tex returned to corner after round ended against Earnie Shavers his cornerman said " Dont worry Tex he aint Hitting & hurting you" Tex replied " well you'd better watch that goddamm ref then cause somebody is" LOL
