What are your favoriote quotes from a fighter or announcer

You beat me to that one! I smile everytime I hear that one.

 

"Hearns doing a bit of involuntary breakdancing" Reg Gutteridge while commentating on Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight.

 

Before he later became a bit cliched, Ali’s spontaneous comments/replies were often brilliant.

This would be impossible to simply quote while still maintaining the full effect (see clip below).

Ali’s fast answers are in perfect sync with the rhythm of him punching the bag.

Gotta admit though, I recalled the opponent name to be Sonny Liston, not Don Warner.

Might’ve been a dusted off line reapplied but, then again, maybe I’m just mis-recalling.

Still funny as all hell.

Barry Tompkins on Tyson s beautiful KO of Berbick.

 

Steve Ellis calling Liston-Ali 1, at the close of round 1: -

“The long left lead is making the difference so far by Mr Clay.”

 

We've done this thread before and I've mentioned some quotes that have stuck in my memory so I won't repeat those.

But recently watching a card on PBC, the color commentator, an ex-pug though I forget who, dropped this gem...

"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and he just did what he gotta did."

I even commentated on it in the general round by round thread. Wish I could remember who said it.
