    I have said in a few post that I don't put a lot of stock into things fighters say. I believe most of them say things and not mean it for headlines, or they have just fought and in the immediate post fight interview they say things while still on a rush from the fight.

    These are not exact quotes--paraphrased by me. But they are pretty much widely known. Feel free to add anymore. I'm sure it is a long list.


    GGG:
    I'll fight anyone from 154-168
    (has only ever fought at 160)

    Ward:
    I'll fight Floyd at 160
    (ridicules claim--though for the $ most probably would)
    I'll fight Klitschko
    Hunter:
    Ward will be a HW champ one day
    (just now moving into LHW)

    Mayweather:
    I'll fight the winner of my fan poll
    (fought the loser of the poll)
    I'm retired (twice)
    (Came back the first time, fair chance he comes back again)

    Paq:
    I'm retired
    (fair chance he comes back)

    Lewis:
    I'll give him a rematch
    (Retired 8-9 months later)

    Hopkins:
    No white boy will ever beat me
    (lost that fight, and later another to a "white boy")

    Canelo:
    I'll fight the best as MW champ
    (fought Kahn in his first defense--who no one considers even top 5 WW)
