    He's young, he still has time to learn.

    Usually said about some lazy ass waster with a bit of talent and no self-discipline in his mid to late twenties. If you're that age and you still haven't learnt that you shouldn't blow up like a house between fights or take twelve to eighteen months off while still a contender then you never will.

    An in-shape *insert career fatass name here*

    Again, any fighter who's ever even contemplated getting in the ring looking like a tub of goo, even once, let alone the entirety of their professional career, is never ever going to be in shape. Solis never did it, Arreola never did it, Ruiz will never do it. Round with man boobs is their shape.

    All it takes is one punch in the heavyweight division

    Maybe if one fighter drastically outsizes the other, but otherwise it's just as applicable to any other division.

    Speed kills

    Self-explanatory. Just a nonsense saying.

    "Everything starts with the jab"

    "Styles make fights"

    "LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE"

    *Random commerator* "Nice shot" - there's nothing nice about getting punched

    "You gotta box with a brawler, & brawl with a boxer"

    "Making history" is a stupid saying anywhere.

    By definition, history is being made every second of every day. If someone just farted, that's part of history.

    The worst is when posters say 'Styles make fights" or "XXX Is tailor made for YYY", and don't even bother to comment on these so called style matchups. I guess some just think saying those makes them sound smart.
