    I believe it was Willie Pastrano fighting in the Garden in the fifties;
    he was having a bad night against someone and had just been dropped for the second time in a round and rose unsteadily...

    Ref: "Do you know where you are?"

    Willie: "Hell yes! I'm in the middle of Madison Square Garden gettin' the **** kicked out of me!"

    :rofl

    Not sure who it was, but one of Roberto Duran's corner team (or management) prior to him getting the first Leonard fight - (something like this)

    'I was sitting there with Roberto one day watching tv, and it was all just Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Leonard, and all the money he was making. And i looked over at Roberto, and he did the meanest look i have ever seen, and i mean mean to the point that you have never seen him this mean in the ring. And he said "i hate him, im gunna beat ther S outta him"'
