    I think Barbados Joe Walcott is credited with coining that one.

      The harder I train, the luckier I get! Willie Pastrano

      What happened?? Lennox Lewis (immediately after being KO'd by Rahman)

      No Way did that just happen to me... Lewis (being interviewed 10 minutes later)

          Nope... He came out with that after beating Terry Downes in England..
          Harry Carpenter was doing the post fight interviews.. He'd jokingly said that Willie was known as a lucky fighter to which he retorted the aforementioned..
          When interviewing Downes (KO'd by 11) he mentioned that Pastrano wasn't a very hard puncher, to which Downes responded, "Well if you think that Harry, why don't you get in the ring with him."
          My guess is that Player was a secret boxing fan & copied Pastrano.. Besides you don't exactly train to play golf...lol.. More like practice really..

                Willie Pep, talking to an old opponent years after each retired. “Do you recognize me?” the old opponent asked. Willie looked hard and considered before finally replying “Lie down so I can recognize you.”

                    That's one of my all-time favorites. Yogi Berra would be proud of him.

                      :I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah!
