    This is by FAR the most dumbfounded I've been since joing ESB. To read a thread title like this with 34 posts and Tyson not only failing to run away with it completey, but not even be mentioned but a few times? I would have bet everything I own that the thread was flooded with people laughing off the OP for making a thread with such an obvious answer. Wow. I just **** my head through my ass.

    I hope that all of you have kids so someone can stomp on their testacles so you can feel the pain that I feel right now!

    GOOD CALL BEEBS!!!

    Not only should Tex be mentioned...but everyone else, with the exeption of maybe Ali pales in comparison.

    Tex was the funniest person to ever lace em up.

    Some of his best quotes...

    "If you screw things up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass."

    "When I got up I stuck to my plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."

    Responding to a reporter who said Cobb was a fat, cocaine snorting , drunk. Cobb replied: "I'm not fat."

    "Sure, I'd love to fight him. But I have my price, twenty-five cents and a loose woman." On if he'd like to fight Gerry Cooney.

    "You run for 45 minutes, you train for an hour and a half, and the rest of the time you just hang out and talk tough." On the typical day of a pro boxer.

    "This fight will be the nastiest thing you'll ever see. I've been sober for six weeks, and that makes me vicious." On his upcoming fight with Michael Dokes.

    "Abstinence is for monks - not for me."

    "No, Larry don't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. No-one hits as hard as Shavers. If there was a fighter that hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him!"

    "Hey, you're a white guy, do something about this!" To the ref in the Holmes fight.

    On a possible rematch with Holmes. "I don't think his hands could take the abuse."

    AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!!!!

    "Yeah, I've been KO'd. Once. By a Mexican bantamweight. How come? Six of my buddies were swinging him around by the heels at the time."

    The man was an absolute comic genius.

    :good

    There's no comparison on this one - Muhammad Ali.

    True. Ketchel puts 50 Cent to shame.

    Greatest Character? Ali. But, I like Robinson more. Mother****er had a pink cadillac with gold flakes in it. PINK CADILLAC!!!
