"Boxing is show-business with blood."
David Belasco
" Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us."
Omar Epps
"A boxing match is like a cowboy movie. There's got to be good guys and there's got to be bad guys. And that's what people pay for - to see the bad guys get beat. "
Sonny Liston
"There are too many governing bodies. They're all corrupt. I think they have replaced the old Mobsters with the kind of 'corporate rule' of boxing. "
Larry Merchant
"Boxing is a celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant for its being lost. "
Joyce Carol Oates
"Boxing is a rather amorphous body, though recognizable because it is headless. "
Bob Verdi

Mike Tyson blurting out "spinal" is pretty ****in funny.
I heard he also once said "I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating," which is pretty great if it's real.

Marlon Starling KO at the hands of Tomas Molinares (after the bell). Bell rang, Starling drops his hands, Huge Monilares right hand in motion, and BOOM.......... Starling drops like a rock.
Larry Merchant: "Umm, Marvin, you were knocked out?"
Starling: "Knocked out?!?!?!?!? I wasn't even knocked down!!!!!!"
Look on Larry's face: .........WTF?!
Originally went down as a KO, but I believe the commision changed result to a no contest.
"Do I look knocked out, do I look like I'm wobbled?"
"Well, you only have to knocked for 10 seconds!"
"Excuse me folks, I'm not used to using any strong arm tactics, to get my interviews in"
Continues with interview, "Um, would you like to fight him again"
"Listen to me. He lookin' fo' one, you see that. Yo this muthaf****a slow as hell 'knowhaisayin'?. Look break off here WHAP, WHAP, WHAP, a lil', a lil', a lil' half-step BAMM come wit da hook den ayo!" - Yoel Judah in between rds. Baldomir vs Judah

At the end of Barrera Morales 3 Barrera says to Morales, "Olvidemos nuestra rivaldad que termine Y seamos amigos". (Lets forget our rivalry lets end it and be friends), Morales says, "El boxeo Y sus rivales son de por vida, Chinga tu madre!" (Boxing and its boxer rivals will live forever, Go fuck your mother!).

Tyson takes them all
Tyson on Tyrell Biggs complaining to him about low blows
"Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die! He was screaming like my wife,I could have knocked him out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time"
"How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry.There just as good as dead"
"I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain"
“I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.”
"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."
This guy was d baddest,will there ever be any1 like Mike Tyson?

A fighter was taking a terrific beating. When the bell rang, he staggered to his corner. His manager said, "Let him hit you with his left for awhile. Your face is crooked."
