    Muhammad Ali

    August 1970

    "If George Foreman ever fights Joe Frazier, he'll send him up in space with one of his
    upper-cuts".

    "Joe Frazier will be the first, 'spook satellite'."

    max baer, apparently when he was taking a fatal heart attack in his hotel room, phoned the reception and asked to see a medic quickly. The receptionist asked, "Would you like to see the house doctor?", Baer replied, "No, a peoples doctor"

    JF,even faced with death, Max Baer had a quip..
    I remember watching a bout on tv in 1959,and Max Baer was introduced
    [as was the custom then].He vaulted over the ropes into the ring,and i said to myself, " this guy is in great shape ". And a couple of weeks later Max died of a massive heart attack in his hotel. Go Figure ?:good

    I'm gonna open his hole like this. Please excuse my French. I'm gonna make him suffer. I'm gonna make his mother wish she never had him - make him into dog meat... He's a nice, a nice kid. He's a pretty kid, too. I mean I don't know, I gotta problem if I should **** him or fight him.
    Don't know if it was really said.

    DeNiro definitely said it, I'm hoping LaMotta gave him the quote.

    As well as so many classics from Muhammad Ali,one of the ones that stand out for me is Marvin Hagler in 'The War' with Hearns. Referee looking at Marvin's cut,asks if he can see. Marvin "Well I ain't missing him..am I.."

    Iran Barkley after Tommy Hearns on taking a pasting from Hearns prior to the KO

    Wally, I don't care, I don't have time to bleed, I don't have time to worry. I'm gonna win this title!

    One not mentioned yet is a classic Liston===if it goes to the scorecards, you can give him the fight.

    pre-fight interview before Roy Harris. How would you like to have been in those Harris shoes going into something like that?

    "Yeah, I'm scared. I'm scared I might kill Schmeling."

    Joe Louis, right before the Schmeling rematch.
