Mauro Ranallo: "Oh! Wilder hit Brezeale so hard they are feeling it in Brazil! Mamma Mia!"

 

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - Mike Tyson.

 

There's "DOWN GOES FRAYYYSHUUH" (Howard Cosell)

Then there's every other quote.

That one stands alone!!

 

"All southpaws should be drowned at birth!" -Gil Clancy, who attributed the actual quote to Maurice Hope, a southpaw himself.

"Happiness is seeing Bristol in the rear-view mirror." -Sal Marchiano, Boxing commentator for ESPN, on his last day ringside (ESPN was based in Bristol, Conn.).

"If I was 50 years younger I'd kick your ass!" -Larry Merchant to Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

 

"He can Herbie, but he can't hide!" -Riddick Bowe

 

Ali’s reply to Cosell when Howard said that Ali sounded or seemed “Truculent”.

Ali basically responded “Whatever truculent is, if it’s good, then that’s me!”

 

Samuel Peters "Who Necks speech" after beating Maskaev.

 

Chris Arreola's interview with Max Kellerman after beating Travis Walker I think its still on Youtube.

Crumble in the Jungle.

 

“Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing … but none of them serious!”

- Alan Minter. (who unfortunately is now dead but probably still think it’s nothing too serious to worry about))

 

I saw unmistakable fear in Floyd’s eyes when Larry made that comment.

I’m sure Floyd was thinking, “Give it another 10 years and then we’ll sign the fight. Let’s wait the old man out for a little bit longer”.
