    “Fighting, to me, seems barbaric. I don't really like it. I enjoy out-thinking another man and out-maneuvering him, but I still don't like to fight.”
    SRR

    ''The three toughest fighters I've ever been up against were Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sugar Ray Robinson. I fought Sugar so many times, I'm surprised I'm not diabetic! But I did have him off the canvas once...when he stepped over my body to leave the ring''
    Jake LaMotta


    “Yeah, I'm scared. I'm scared I might kill Schmeling.”
    Joe Louis

    I love this one from Lennox in a jamaican drawl, he seemed to have the strongest disdain and dislike of Golota, just after his nutpunching destruction of Bowe

    Muhammad Ali: It is befitting that I leave the game just like I came in, beating a big bad monster who knocks out everybody and no one can whup him. So when little Cassius Clay from Louisville, Kentucky, came up to stop Sonny Liston. The man who annihilated Floyd Patterson twice. HE WAS GONNA KILL ME! But he hit harder than George. His reach is longer than George's. He's a better boxer than George. And I'm better now than I was when you saw that 22-years old undeveloped kid running from Sonny Liston. I'm experienced now, professional. Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times, I'm bad! Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail. That's bad! Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick! I'm so mean I make medicine sick!
    Don King: Bad dude!
    Muhammad Ali: Bad, fast! Fast! Fast! Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark.

    Tyson on Ruddock:

    "Everyone knows you're a transvestite and you're in love with me."
    "You're sweet. I'm gonna make sure you kiss me good with those big lips."

    Jim Gray: 'Mike were you really sick this week? What was the problem?'
    Tyson: "I broke my back."'
    JG: "What do you mean by that?'
    MT: "My back is broken."
    JG: "What part, a vertebrae or a portion?"
    MT: "No. Spinal."

    "Lord, prepare my hands for war and my fingers to fight."

    Tiger Flowers supposedly used to say this before the first round of each fight.

    Welcome to mine and GPater's favourite quote Pachilles!

    One time, me and GP went into threads all over esb and just tried to drop Tyson quotes and interlink them with the thread topic, don't know if anyone was onto us but it was funny ****.
