This one has undoubtedly been posted before on NSB at some point, but since I usually don't say nice things about Lennox Lewis, it might be nice to give him credit for this quote:
When asked why he didn't sign a contract offered to him by Don King right after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, Lewis replied, "How can you trust a man who can talk for five minutes and you can't understand a sentence of it?"
"let me pour this water on your balls"
-erik morales' trainer to morales in the corner. There was no miisconstued meaning either. He actually was pouring water on his nuts at the time.
