    From Boxers, Promoters, trainers, commentators etc.....

    You probably can't remember it word for word....As long as there's context it's fine tho.

    I'll just post my favorite for now.


    Norman Stone at the referee.....

    "What a piece of s**t you turned out to be! You're a f***ing piece of ****. You've got no balls you f***ing cocksucker! F***ing jerkoff!

    The ref orders security to get Stone from ringside....but he doesn't go quietly.

    "I'll sue you for everything you've f***ing got you f**k!....Pointing at ref.

    Then he questions the officials at ringside....."What did I say to him?"



    He was the most entertaining thing about Ruiz's fights.

    A few others i remembered....

    Teddy Atlas using a translator with a bemused looking Povetkin.
    "Do you believe in magic?"


    Teddy atlas drags the ref over to Moorer's corner
    "You see this man? He's the one i'm going to tell to stop the fight!".


    Jay Larkin on the Lewis v Tyson TV rights.....Claiming Tyson would fight on HBO
    "When pork chops grow on the palm trees of Tel Aviv."


    Bellew v Haye l during a pre-fight press conference, which was met with laughter.
    "Don't worry David, i'll give you a rematch after I beat you".

    Groves was very naive going into that fight.

    Froch isn't a weak fighter....

    You can't get under his skin, instead, you just fuel his fire.

    Twas just a joke pal.....

    It's all Gallagher teaches his fighters.

    To be fair though, his advice in between rounds is amazing.....

    "Throw more punches".

    Jim Lampley in the second Jones-Tarver fight
    "Jones is still on ***** street... and that's amazing"
    I understand what he was trying to say but it came across as ridiculously insensitive

    Jones got his own back when he put Jim back into his station during the BJS and Lemieux fight.

    Jim said something like....
    "With BJS so far ahead, you have to question why he isn't going for the KO".

    Jones replied with something like...
    "Because he is so far ahead, he's schooling him, why take that risk"?

    Vitali's chin is fine, Wlad's average but granite compared to Syllakh's. The only one who can compare with Ismail is fellow CW Alexandr Gurov - http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/5053 - solid contender with an excellent power but with zero punch recistance
