        This is not a favourite, but I came across an amusing one by Jake LaMotta;

        "The three toughest fighters I've ever been up against were Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sugar Ray Robinson. I fought Sugar so many times, I'm surprized I'm not diabetic! But I did have him off the canvas once...when he stepped over my body to leave the ring."

        Just curious to know what are your favourite/inspiring ones?
        Max Baer on his definition of fear: Standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.

          I like Tyson's quote from years back when he was interviewed, and asked why he takes a lot of rage in the ring. His reply was, "We're in a fight anyway so what' difference does it make"

                      Jim Lampley said it.

                      My favorites:

                      "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't." —Jack Dempsey

                      "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under the lights." —Muhammad Ali

                      "It's like being in love with a woman. She can be unfaithful, she can be mean, she can be cruel, but it doesn't matter. If you love her, you want her, even though she can do you all kinds of harm. It's the same with me and boxing. It can do me all kinds of harm but I love it." —Floyd Patterson
