I got a new favourite quote from boxing

Its still a memorable one mate.

"My wife drove me to drink... I should thank her one day!!"

 

Bob Arum

 

don't you just love arum & don king.........................no !!

 

Dude, that quote is so relevant. I fought an exhib fight at a bar and holy ****, I wanted to quit in the 1st and nearly did in the 2nd, but I kept thinking about that maxim and I survived, which was cool 'cause then everyone liked me.

 

"What irked me to no end was that the German population in the area would tell us that they didn't know what was going on in the camps, ... I don't believe that for a minute. We knew what we were going to see. How could they not know?"

 

Please tell me Owens did not say that.

 

a few of my current faves

mayweather about hatton - he hasnt fought 43 floyd mayweathers,if he had he'd be 0 and 43

ali said he tried ordering a burger after he won the olympics,they informed him that they dont serve negroes,to which he replied "well thats good cuz i dont eat them"
classic line

 

I'm terrible at remembering quotes. Mayorga's line to Merchant always sticks with me though.

"Why are you so disrespectful of your opponents?"

"I come from a country where women give birth to men."

 

Larry Holmes after losing sorely to Mike Spinks.. and the whole Marciano 49 - 0 issue started in press conference...

Quote 1.... There will never be a white heavyweight champion , the way black fighters are fighting today..

Quote 2.... If you wanna know the truth about the whole thing, Rocky couldn't carry my Jock strap..

Quote 3 .. (a ****in gem...) Sonny , is your name sonny ???

Peter Marciano (Rockys brother) "No sir its Peter"
Larry Holmes... apologetically .. "Peter , If i hurt your feelings back there.."
pause...
"SO ****ING WHAT"

 

Mike Tyson to Razor Rudock.... "Make sure you kiss me good with those big lips.."

WTF..........

 

37 year old Sonny Liston after being told 23 year old Henry Clark said he would knock out Liston in the seventh.
"I have my bags packed and be on the plane going home by that time"

 

Sums up what a classless buffoon Holmes was. Well done.

 

Sorry big Joe, but that one didn't make much sense did it

 

It makes perfect sense. A great quote.

 

"Well, there's nothing to fighting, just come out fast from your corner, hit the other fellow as hard as you can and hit him first. That's all there is to fighting."
