    For years it was this:


    ALI: You really think you would have whipped me?!

    LOUIS: You know, when I was fighting we had a thing called the "bum of the month" tour.

    ALI: You calling me a bum?!

    LOUIS: You would have been, on the tour.









    Now, it's this:


    MARVIN HAGLER: I got one thing left to do, and that's break every bone in Tommy Hearns's body.

    ANCHOR GUY: Sounds like you got a personal vendetta against Tommy?

    MARVIN HAGLER: ....not really

    :lol:


    Let's see yours?

    i lent it to you for 12 rounds an you blew it

    I luv that one, i think it was after the rematch, Conn was like, 'you knew you were gunna beat me in the rematch, you could have just lent me the title for a bit Joe'

    'I lent you the title for 12 rounds and you didn't know what to do with it'

    That might be the best GPater i think

    Louis also had this to say to the young Clay: "Kid, if you even dreamed of beating me you would wake up and apologise."

    Ali actually used that one against Ellis, without crediting source of course. Lends credence to another great quote, by the way: "Talent borrows, genius steals."

    THAT'S my favorite. Basilio put Cosell in his place so succinctly it was beautiful.
