    "I have bigger crowds in sparring than you do at your fights!" - Ali

    "If I lose to Joe Frazier, I'll crawl over to the other side of the ring and tell him he's the greatest!" -Ali

    "After I beat you, you won't be able to crawl!" -Frazier

    This one's pretty good too. Here, Ricardo Mayorga spanks Shane Mosley's girlfriend during the pre-fight hype:

    Joe Frazier was so confident here. Smokin Joe inturrupted Ali when Ali was talkin about how he beat Sonny Listen twice, Frazier jumped in and said "I'm the champ, you ain't". "You listen - That's all over, Sonny Liston is all over". Ali wasn't used to somebody inturrupting him and talking trash with him and pointing at him telling him you listen to me!

    Then Frazier said "who got top billing" that really irked Ali lol. Joe had so much momentum going into this match, nothing was gonna stop Joe that night, he was like a locomotive in the ring. Ali could not match Smokin Joe's intensity. This press conference tells a story of itself that Joe wasn't gonna let Ali run his mouth he was gonna make Ali listen to him because he was the Champ.
