Nope... He came out with that after beating Terry Downes in England..Originally posted by Kid McCoy View Post
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..Comment

: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!
