What's the greatest quote in Boxing History?

He stopped the fight under Herbert's direction.

 

"I'm sorry I beat you but I need the money." -Rafael Herrera to Ruben Olivares after beating him.

Sincere, honest and straight forward from someone that fights to survive.

 

Muhammad Ali: “Don’t you know I’m God?”

Joe Frazier: “God, you in the wrong place tonight!"

 

I think he was paraphrasing Von Moltke.

 

Read far too little about Ali the master of qoutes here, I only saw two in this thread
and too many about overrated Mike tyson....




" You know I’m bad.
just last week, I murdered a rock,
Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.
I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.”


Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch,
and was in the bed before the room was dark.

"Liston will fall in eight to prove that I'm great”


"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee - his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see"

i'm the fastest thing on two feet man, are you crazy? I'm tired of talking.


Interview After Liston fight:

Joe Louis: the Doctor said the left arm was out of his socket
Ali: yea swinging at nothing who wouldn't

 

I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore ... Unless you want to, you know."
- Mike Tyson...

 

I thought Tyson had said hed 'fade into Bolivian' after boxing, which he kinda did for a while

 

When Foreman was asked by a reporter if a fight was fixed he said, "Yeah it was fixed, I fixed it with a right hand!"

 

I liked that title. I didn't want to lose it to anybody, but if I had to lose it, I'm glad I lost it to you. You are a good fighter and gonna be a great champ.

 

You are quite right boss, he did say that.

 

Very true. I think Dundee had to make the offical call clear due to Bundini’s protests and commotion.

 

Mike didn’t need to be injected with truth serum, did he? Lol.

 

I think it was Lennox Lewis who said something like “It’s easier to win the title than to hang on to it.”

So very true.

That’s why Joe Louis should get mucho respect for the longevity of his title reign.
