Muhammad Ali speaking on George Foreman's previous opposition
"Don Waldheim. He was a nobody. Fred Askew. He was a nobody. Sylvester Dulliare. I can't even pronounce his name. Chuck Wepner. He was a nobody. John Carroll. He was a nobody. Cookie Wallace. He was a nobody. Vernon Clay.
[Pause] Clay? He might be good"

ahah that was a good one

Hmm. Hehe.

Yea thats good. Ali was full of great one liners

I'm going to eat your children, I'm the most brutal vicious champion ever, I'm Alexander the Conquerer.

My signature.

Ali was the man
"I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark. "

By far Ali has the funnyes lines ever.

anyonw knows at least one of his lines

Lol yea I have a poster with that on it. Its sweet

Im not sure who said it but the quote was "Yeah i fought Sugar Ray Robinson, would have beat him to if he slipped over in the pool of my blood."

“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”
Mike Tyson

Sugar Ray Leonard after DLH vs Hopkins "You can't send a boy, even a golden one, to do a mans job."

I'll eat your children!-Mike Tyson.

Haha. Also this one.

-"So, Mike I heard you had a back injury?"-Reporter
-"Yeah I broke my back."-Tyson
-"You broke your back? What happened?"
-"ummmm....spinal"

That's not exact, but something like that. I was the most incoherent thing i've ever heard. I lmao.

Sugar Ray Leonard after DLH vs Hopkins "You can't send a boy, even a golden one, to do a mans job."

Lol, that was funny

here's my fav Ali quote. in '75 when asked about the upcoming Thrilla in manilla, Ali said:

" it's gonna be a chilla, and a killa, when i meet the gorilla "

here's my fav Ali quote. in '75 when asked about the upcoming Thrilla in manilla, Ali said:

" it's gonna be a chilla, and a killa, when i meet the gorilla "
lolz... hehehe fanny..... :D

sugar Ray leonard " the pain will go away when the cheque clears"... or something like that.

Ali had all the best lines ever!

Ali and Joe Frazier in a 1974 television show:

Frazier: I will be there every second, baby, smokin`!!

Ali: You will be smokin´, but I won´t be jokin´. I will be stickin´ and pokin´, throwing water at your smokin´... [now adressing the tv-host] And this might shock and amaze ya, but I will retire Joe Frazia´!

Great!

These aren't 'one liners' but Roberto Duran sure did a number on Ray Leonard before their 1st fight.

At one point he called Leonard's wife a whore. While in Montreal the two fighters ran into each other at the mall and Leonard acknowledged Duran by waving. At this point everyone in the mall has caught wind that the two are their, so the crowd is growing fast. Duran takes one hand and grabs hit nuts and flips Leonard off...........Needless to say the crowd loved it!!

willie pep, "my two biggest mistakes in life were falling in love with slow horses and fast women".

tex cobb was always a name thats synonmous with amusing quotes,

"All I want to do is hit somebody in the mouth. It's a whole lot easier than working for a living. Don't make anything noble out of what I do."

"I'd love to fight Gerry Cooney but I have my price. "25c and a loose woman."

During the referee's instructions right before the Cobb-Shavers fight, the referee asked if there were any questions. Cobb asked "Can I bite him?"

"I'll do anything to keep from working for a living. If I've gotta fight a circus bear then put the drawers on him and let's get it on."

Randy 'tex' Cobb after being used as a punch bag by Larry Holmes for 15 rounds, on wheather he wanted a rematch.
"I dont think Holmes's hands could take the punishment"

Larry Holmes: "Gerry Cooney's the white hope... I said 'they hope I don't kill his ass' ".

Larry Holmes at a press conference: "And if he comes in here today, I'll punch him in the mouth for free!"

You can just call him Has Been Rahman now" - Lennox Lewis


Duran to Hearns '' Thomas in 2 days i will kiiiiill you"
Tommy replies " NO MAS"...... classic.

"I hit him with a left uppercut, a right to the body, he started to sag and then, and then, and then he farted" -
Tyson describing the Marvis Frazier KO

I'm gonna make you my girlfriend, with those big lips of yours" - Tyson prior to Ruddock.

Frazier: "I'm gonna come out smokin"
Foreman: "Smoking's hazardous to your health".

Marlon Starling talking about a potential opponent..
"Ill fight him for free if the money's right"

It was Chuck Wepner, and the way I remember him telling the story is, before his fight with Ali he told his wife: "Just think, honey, tonight you'll be sleeping with the heavyweight champion of the world!" After the fight (I believe they were staying in the same hotel as Ali and his entourage) the wife asks him, "So when does Muhammad want me to come to his room?"

:cool:

Ali wouldn't have been able to come up with those one-liners off the top of his head. We all know he had a little notepad where he spent ages trying to think up these quotes.

Here some good ones people:

Don King, on boxing's rating system: "When we started, it was based on lies. It's changing now. There are no secrets in the business. You've got to come with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It's becoming very confusing."

Bob Arum, replying to a reporters question. "Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth."

Buddy McGirt, when he was asked by Gil Clancy who would win the up-coming fight between Maurice Blocker and Glenwood Brown he replied: "The black guy."

Joe Frazier, talking to Ken Norton at a social gathering. Frazier: "Hey man, what you been doing?"; Norton: "My wife just had a baby."; Frazier: "Congratulations! Whose baby is it?"

Muhammad Ali, on an upcoming fight with Floyd Patterson: "I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on."
Blackie Sherrod, talking about a heavyweight contender: "He has everything a boxer needs except speed, stamina, a punch, and ability to take punishment. In other words, he owns a pair of shorts."

Max Baer, when asked for his definition of fear: "Standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early."

Enjoy!!! Karma would be appriciated

SOME GOOD ONES THERE, I CANT GIVE OUT KARMA AT THE MO BRO HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE!

just come back from oz lovely place! :cool:

Joe Frazier, talking to Ken Norton at a social gathering. Frazier: "Hey man, what you been doing?"; Norton: "My wife just had a baby."; Frazier: "Congratulations! Whose baby is it?"

Good one! :D

"Got any excuses tonight, Roy? - Tarver (that is an instant classic)

PBF - "I'm going to take you to school."
Henry Bruseles - "I graduated with a 4.0" (thought it was funny)

See my sig for a Lovemore N'Dou quote on Tszyu.

Sugar Ray Leonard after DLH vs Hopkins "You can't send a boy, even a golden one, to do a mans job."
LMAO. So ****ing true!

"Tito is a *****.."

i think it's funny when a boxer ( and there is alot) says after a fight, " that i would like to thank god for being with me tonight , god was in my corner " to me it hillarious cause they just beat the **** out of another man for 1 and 2 god is supposed to love all. why you more than him???? it's funny to me.... probably not to relevant, but still makes me laugh when i hear it....

Here's a jewel from Big George -

I want to keep fighting because it is the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet. :p

Here's another one from Ali D' Greatest -

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. ;)

"My power is discombobulatingly devastating I could feel is muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm." - Mike Tyson

This^ is the craziest **** I have ever heard. I mean...who ****ing talks like this?

"I just want to conquer people and their souls." - Tyson

More craziness.

"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him."

Heh.

"Other than the two fighters, the ref is the most important man in the ring." - Big George

Lou Duva, Veteran boxing trainer, on the spartan training regimen of heavyweight Andrew Golota: "He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is."


Randall "Tex" Cobb: "When I got up I stuck to my plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face."


James Toney had a great interview that was on this site awhile back. When asked about Lamon Brewster he said, "Brewster is garbage...straight from the ****bowl."

When asked about DLH/Hopkins Toney said, "You try fighting that face for 12 rounds."

"you dream about beating me, you better wake up apologizing!".....Ali

I remember something foremann used to say in the fights he commented: He should just fight.

No matter how the fight was going.

"I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.."
-Mike Tyson

Don King, on boxing's rating system: "When we started, it was based on lies. It's changing now. There are no secrets in the business. You've got to come with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It's becoming very confusing."

Lol!

"I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.."

OMG! ROFL!!

MIKE TYSON On Razor Ruddock

You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend

MIKE TYSON On Razor Ruddock

You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend


LOL :D, did you see Ruddock face after Tyson said that?

Frazier had one that went like this: "Boxing is the only sport where you can get your brains shook, your money took, and your name in the undertakers book".

hector camacho jr. when asked about future fights ....

"what about the wbo champ, zab judah?"

"aww man, he ain't no champ, hes the B.E.T champ - talk to me about kostya tzuyu"

Haha. Also this one.

-"So, Mike I heard you had a back injury?"-Reporter

Mike Tyson Quotes

" I'll fight any man in the world because i don't believe theres a man on this planet who can beat me."

Tyson after Tyrell Biggs fight. " I could hear him, he was cryin in there, makin woman guestures like ooh ouw oooh, i can't define it but i knew that he was breaking down soon."

"I never wanted to be a super super star, i just wanted to be champion of the world"

" Did i rape who? No Desiree Washington raped me."

" I hit him with punches with bad intentions in vital areas"

" I'm sorry i did bite him"

A reporter asked him if he will treat the title with respect this time
" No, the title doesn't deserve to be treated with respect, cause the title is like love, its like a woman. It don't care about nothing around it but itself, **** you, im so beautiful i can get the next man, with more money, a better body, i got a prettier waiste to go around. The titles always gonna be loved, i'm not always gonna be loved, its like a woman, she'll leave you for the better man"

Joe Frazier

I ain't never liked violence.

Sugar Ray Robinson

If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it.

Marvin Hagler

Here's another one from Ali D' Greatest -

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. ;)


Ali the greatest LOL!! You mean the Ali that didn't have the guts to serve America when his draft number was called, yet had no problem profiting off of that same capitalistic system which he refused to defend.. Then the liberal media pawns it off as bravery and courage!!

:D Thanks guys! Great quotes! I love this thread! :D

I got some of these off of another forum:

After being ko'ed by Larry Holmes, Renaldo Snipes was asked "what are you going to do now?"
He answered with an all time classic even Tyson would have been proud of,
"I'm gonna go and reach higher depths!":)

"After losing both my amateur fights I decided there was no future for me in the amateurs, So I turned pro!" Randall "Tex" Cobb:D

Foreman while commentating on the Jones-Ruiz fight...

"He (Jones) can do this to anybody, I don't care if you're 6'12"...can you be 6'12''?"

Hahahaahahahahahhaha

One of the best has to be the simple "No mas" from Roberto Duran.

Another good one is Tarver's "Yeah, I got a question. You gonna have any excuses tonight Roy?" Planned but hilarious. I tivo'd that over and over. More than Janet's wardrobe malfunction.

"YOU CANT WIN!!!!!!'
Adrienne
Rocky Films

Some more from Randall "Tex" Cobb,

"I once got knocked out by a mexican bantamweight", of course six of my friends were swinging him around by his heels at the time!"

"I'd love to fight Gerry Cooney, but I have my price, 25cents and a loose woman!"

When asked by a reporter "what do you say to your critics who have called you a fat, lazy, low-class coke snorting alcoholic?", he responded by saying
"who's fat?"

Foreman while commentating on the Jones-Ruiz fight...

"He (Jones) can do this to anybody, I don't care if you're 6'12"...can you be 6'12''?"

Lol.........

Foreman while commentating on the Jones-Ruiz fight...

"He (Jones) can do this to anybody, I don't care if you're 6'12"...can you be 6'12''?"

LOL,I remember that, Foreman has a habit of making a fool out of himself. :D

Muhammed Ali, after failing an Army intelligence test, "I said I was the greatest, not the smartest."

Ali is the greatest. My favourite is when Ali is making his comeback fight after being suspended for 3 years and he has an interview with Howard Cosell. It goes something along the lines of this.

Cossell: Well Muhammed, do you think you have a chance against your opponent? I mean, alot of people, myself included, believe that you're not half the man you were 3 years ago?

Ali: Well, I just talked to your wife, Howard and she told me you ain't half the man you were two years ago!!

That's some funny ****!!

Larry Holmes before Tyson fight
" I am no kid, i do not play, i'm gonna knock this guy out, i'm an experienced professional boxer."

Holmes after Tyson destroyed him in 4
" Other guys hit much harder, he just caught me on the forehead and knocked off my balance thats all."

Marvin Hagler: Fight like a man you lil *****, fight like a man
Leonard:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Sometimes you WANT them punches to hit your opponent's glove, takes a lot out of him."

Ahhh Big George...so many memories....

At the Cotto Vs Pinto fight

"This is Pinto's best round, and I'm not sure he's won it."

-Larry Merchant

Also you gotta love is old timer monologues.CLASSIC.

"Trinidad is on the mark.."

"PEN-SA-COLA in da hooouuuussssssse!!!!"

James Toney on Roy Jones Jr....

"If Jones thinks he's so great, if he wants to prove how great he is, he has to come back and beat Tarver. Tarver and Johnson weren't scared of him. I wasn't scared of him, he ran away to beat me. He'll be back and fight those policemen, firemen, policewomen."

Tyson after pounding Tony Tubbs

" If anyone says he was out of shape, i did what was supposed to have been done to a person thats out of shape, i got ride of him quick"

" We don't come to fight by book technologys, we come to fight the authentic way, i mean this is just my world in here "

The commentator after the second ear bite, when there was pandemonium in the ring, but before tyson attempted to get at holyfield. Tyson was pacing around just muggin Holyfield about to do his dirt, and the commentator says "During that replay, referee Mills Lane signaling that it's over, I think they've just about had enough" when he said 'had enough' it was in a different tone than the rest of his voice, ****in hilarious. any time I need a laugh I just open that clip and goto that part ,never fails.

Toney had his chance and he blew it, talk does no good, get in the ring and get schooled fat boy.

I'm scared every time I go into the ring, but it's how you handle it. What you have to do is plant your feet, bite down on your mouthpiece and say, 'Let's go.'" tyson

It was Chuck Wepner, and the way I remember him telling the story is, before his fight with Ali he told his wife: "Just think, honey, tonight you'll be sleeping with the heavyweight champion of the world!" After the fight (I believe they were staying in the same hotel as Ali and his entourage) the wife asks him, "So when does Muhammad want me to come to his room?"

:cool:

lol ... that's what I call demoralizing.

This one isn't too funny,but it's my fav quote nonetheless ,and worth mentioning.


George foreman in a blue suit with a blue bowtie says:

"If you could survive one or two rounds with me, which would be a lot of pain..and probably a lot of heartbreak in your life, because..not only could I hurt you for a few rounds, two or three rounds in my previous career, I could really do damage do your body, physically, to your brain..."

Larry Merchant after Tyson-Holmes

" Mike Tyson looked like a bull in an antique shop, and what he did was he took out the old grandfather clock."

" I'm here with Mike Tyson, who first administered a paintjob and then sort of wrecked the whole house."

After Rocky was released, Stallone recieved a congratulatory tele gram from Muhammad Ali which contained one of the champion's trademark poems:

"You fought and you worked
You're a determined guy,
Rocky is great,
And we love you Sly,
And if you get an Oscar,
Remember please do,
The Greatest will also get one,

Cause I'm prettier than you."

My signature.

LMFAO. That is some funny ****.

Muhammad Ali: "Joe, give me a break Joe, you were too static when you fought Joe. Hey, remember the Bum of the Month club Joe?"

Joe Louis: "Yeah, you'd of been one of the bums!"


Lol, so true..

Nigel Benn: "I'll hit him with so many left's, he'll be crying for a right."

Nigel Benn: "Roy Jones can beat the crap out of my head all he likes, but I'm not letting Mike McCallum snatch my body!"

Nigel Benn: "Steve Davis was born to pot balls, Maradona to score goals and Nigel Benn to kick ass!"

Nigel Benn: "I'll fight Mike Tyson all day long, I don't care. That kind of pain goes. But the pain a woman inflicts when she twists the knife lasts for years."

Nigel Benn: "When McClellan knocked me out of the ring, I just thought 'He's not beating me. I don't care how hard he hits, I've been hit with everything, pickaxes, baseball bats so what? Let's see how he feels when I'm hitting him...'"

"We've had fights with high expectations, with low expectations, this one has no expectations, because we simply don't know what Bruseles would bring to the dance."
-Larry Merchant

Ali the greatest LOL!! You mean the Ali that didn't have the guts to serve America when his draft number was called, yet had no problem profiting off of that same capitalistic system which he refused to defend.. Then the liberal media pawns it off as bravery and courage!!

Yeah the same Ali that after winning Gold, still had to get his meal out the back door.

Yeah, I have three of the craziest and funniest in my signature.
See below

Yeah. Roy's heart left the game after he accomplished everything he wanted to...kind of different, but similar to Eubank.

the ones in my sig are my favorite, but he are a couple decent ones:

"This is going to be easy work. I mean, this guy is so slow it’s ridiculous. When he shoots a punch out there, I can pull back, say hi to mom and put my headphones on. This is a walk in the park, a piece of cake." -Mayweather on gatti

REPORTER: “Many people believe [Clay] will be the next heavyweight champion of the world. I saw Sonny a few days ago, Cassius—”

CLAY: “Ain’t he ugly?”

REPORTER: [Laughs] “He—”

CLAY: “He’s too ugly to be the world’s champ! The world’s champ should be pretty like me!”

REPORTER: “He told me to bet my life that you won’t go three rounds.”

CLAY: “Well, if you wanna lose your money, bet on Sonny! I’m too fast! I’m the king!”

“I think [Ali]’s sick in the head, really, because at some part of the fight he began talking, ‘Don’t you know I’m God?’ I said, ‘Well, God, you’re gonna get whupped tonight.’”
-Fraizer on Ali

consider myself blessed. I consider you blessed. We've all been blessed with God-given talents. Mine just happens to be beating people up."
- Sugar Ray leonard

"The referee is the most important man in the ring besides the two fighters." - George Foreman

:D

"They would give Jeffrey Dahmer a second chance before they gave me another one. If you saw a [police] lineup and saw Tyson and Dahmer and they asked, 'Who killed and ate those people?' you would pick me and not Jeffrey."

-Mike Tyson

"They would give Jeffrey Dahmer a second chance before they gave me another one. If you saw a [police] lineup and saw Tyson and Dahmer and they asked, 'Who killed and ate those people?' you would pick me and not Jeffrey."

-Mike Tyson
hahaha i would pick tyson

I'm probably one of the only few people in this world who got love for Mike Tyson.

I'm probably one of the only few people in this world who got love for Mike Tyson.
ohh i love him as a boxer, but he did some real ****ed up stuff outside the ringt

Roy Jones yelling at Bernard Hopkins during an interview disputing each other for the share of money of a potential rematch.

Roy Jones- "60-40, u get your ass whooped!, 60-40, u get your ass kicked!, i'll kick your ass, 60-40, i'll kick your ass, 60-40, i'll tear your ass up!!"

after the contendor rematch at the postfight presser. manfredo turns to mora and says
"sergio come give me a kiss. i like being kissed while im getting f*cked"
