Remember Quotes Boxer's said?



I read a question about what Joe Louis said about Rocky Marciano's punches, and it go me to think about other boxing quotes. I remember what Jim Braddock said about Joe Louis. A reporter asked Braddock how did it feel to hit by Louis and Braddock replied: "Imagine getting hit in jaw by a crowbar!" Man that was a good description any other boxing quotes said by boxers?

Young Howard Cosell to Carmen Basilio before his fight with Ray Robinson: "Carmen, 9 out of 10 reporters predict that you will be knocked out". Basilio: "9 of 10 reporters are wrong!".......and they were.

Also Cosell interviewing Ken Norton and Larry Holmes at poolside at Caesar's Palace before they fought for the Heavyweight Championship.
"Larry, do you have anything to say about your opponent?" Holmes: "Yes. I think Kenny has been a great fighter and great champion, but I think now is my time!" Cosell: "How about you Kenny, What do you think about Larry?" Norton looks Holmes up and down for a few seconds with a disgusted look on his face, turns back to Howard and says, " I think he is a little pin-head!"
Man I fell off my chair and pounded the floor laughing my butt off! Source(s): I've told that story before on this forum, but it is worth repeating.
Muhammad Ali

I'm a baaaaadd man!!
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Jack Dempsey

All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he's thinking, I was hitting him.

Rocky Marciano

In the ring I never really knew fear
Why waltz with a guy for 10 rounds when you can knock him out in one?
Tyson had some good ones:
"Everyone has a plan untill they get hit"
And a lot of funny ones:
"You got pretty lips; I'm gonna make you my girlfriend"
"I'm gonna **** you 'till you love me ******"
"I not a fake-*** grill pusher like Foreman"
"I might become a monk; I just want to fade into bolivian"
"I wanna rape you and your mother"
