    Alexis Arguello to Ray Mancinni: "I know your father. I love your father. You good fighter. You come see me again; two years."

    Always loved that one:yep

    After the Gannigan fight the interviewer ask Alexis if he got worried when Gannigan knocked him down. Alexis said; "First time ever I got knocked down it scared the hell out of me, but I got used to it."

    Mine was when James Douglas got knocked out by Lou Savarese in one round. It was such a nice comeback story to see a guy come out of a coma, lose all that weight and actually be competitive, and he was guaranteed a fight against Tyson if he got by Savarese.

    Joe Louis getting knocked out of the ring by Marciano, or after getting battered by Ezzard Charles for 15 rounds.

    Arguello was a class act of class acts.

    Honeyghan getting embarrassed by Breland

    I just remembered an article in the Ring Magazine years ago and the reporter saying that he saw Fully Obel outside in the street, sitting on the kerb, crying, after his second loss to Hagler, and the reporter saying it was the saddest sight he'd ever seen.

    Paul Hodkinsons face after getting stopped by Marcos Villasana. Hodkinson had dominated. His face was that bad that my girlfriend was crying.

    I've never been able to watch Tyson v Mcbride, I really don't want to see Mike losing to such a bum.
