If you screw things up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass.
If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it.

"Leonard should be happy I didn't hit him in the street. He had so many bodyguards around him in the United States so I couldn't hit him. He should bring them in the ring with him." DuranComment

What would a thread be without a lil Mayweather:
"Delahoya says I'm a runner. Yeah well, if he knew how to run like me, he would've beaten Trinidad"

I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rings. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But I can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.

Even I have to admit that quote was perfect, especially for the result that happened after. Some more:
"Nothing comes close to having your hand raised when you were not supposed to-when it's not supposed to be. That's defiance, there's nothing sweeter than defiance..." - Sugar Ray Leonard
"I wanted to run in tennis shoes" - Floyd Mayweather, talking about how he branched off from his father, who made him run in boots.
"Any dog can fight off the top, but how many dogs can fight off the bottom? Most of them quit. 'Not I,' said the lion" - Roy Jones Jr.Comment

A bunch from Tex Cobb:
"Sure, I'd love to fight him. But I have my price, twenty-five cents and a loose woman." On if he'd like to fight Gerry Cooney.
"You run for 45 minutes, you train for an hour and a half, and the rest of the time you just hang out and talk tough." On the typical day of a pro boxer.
"This fight will be the nastiest thing you'll ever see. I've been sober for six weeks, and that makes me vicious." On his upcoming fight with Michael Dokes.
"I can do my sport no greater service." On being informed that commentator Howard Cosell had hung up his mike after being so appalled at the one-sidedness of the Holmes-Cobb fight.
"Boxing writers are the only people out there who have less constructive jobs than what I do. I don't do nothing but hit people, and those mothers don't do nothing but write about what I do!"
"Yeah, I've been KO'd. Once. By a Mexican bantamweight. How come? Six of my buddies were swinging him around by the heels at the time."Comment
