    One of my favorite people in boxing is Teddy Atlas. Even though he said what he said about Pacquiao, I can look past that with Teddy. I'm always talking about charisma, and for those that don't know what it is, Teddy Atlas has it. When Teddy Atlas speaks......man, what a story teller, what a smart man. This rant at Michael Moorer must go down as one of the greatest speeches in history. Some people said it was overly dramatic. I thought it was greatness. "you're lyin' to yourself because you're gonna cry tomorrow". "There comes a time in a man's life, when he makes a decision to just live, survive, or he wants to win". This is not about boxing, it's about life. Anyone who wants to win can feel those words.

    That NY accent is great presentation. When people say "it's not just what you say, it's how you say it", this is what they mean. Some people have no charisma, and have a voice that either sends people to sleep or is too obnoxious. These are the fine details. Atlas might have an ego, he might be flawed, but he's no clown.

    Chris Eubank, speaking from the 6.00 mark. What Eubank is saying here is not just interesting to listen to because he has an unusual way of speaking, but it also makes a lot of sense. Everyone can do well from listening to his advice. Hopkins talks about the same thing. Being a rich man with everything in life, but having the mentality of someone poor, so you don't ever lose what made you great in the first place.

    "Drink some water baby"
    -Buddy McGirt

    Norman Stone has some legendary quotes, the Ruiz-Jones Jr fight was great entertainment. I cant post any youtube links but there's a great highlight vid of him.

    "The best chin in boxing is the chin that doesn't get hit at all." - Carl Froch.
    Wise words those in my opinion.

    Also:

    "I'm still waiting for someone come along and entertain me, like me." - Prince Naseem Hamed said this recently. Great shout.

    and

    "I don't care if the people cheer or boo me as long as the cheques don't bounce." - Muhammaed Ali.

    I always laugh at Rob McCracken's ''do me a favour mate....'' to Carl Froch.

    Generally along the lines of not having to prove how macho he is, use his jab more or stop throwing that hail mary uppercut from John O'Groats to Land's End.
