Famous Lampley sayings

[Tha Greatest]

"I don't think we will ever see Hopkins on the ring magazine fight of the year"

[joeboxer]

We thought it might be fight of the year. We didn't know it would be a candidate for fight of the century.

Talking on the MIcky Ward vs Arturo Gatti 1

[ejk22]

One of my favorite ones is during the second Bowe vs Golota fight when Golota knocked Bowe down in the second round and then Bowe rose up wobbly you see Golota calmly walk towards Bowe which prompted Lampley to say "and here is Golota, moving in for the kill like a quiet assassin". Definitely a favorite of mine.

two of my fav's, both from Witherspoon-JL Gonzalez

"You wonder how many more of those Gonzalez will wanna take....Witherspoon may not have the power of a Rid**** Bowe, but he's got this thing dialed in" (referring to the overhand right)

"The towel comes in from Gonzalez' corner, and Tim Witherspoon celebrates a DEVESTATING 5th round TKO"

One of my favourite ones was the trinidad-mayorga fight.
Jim says:
"He's RIPPING MAYORGA!" and "THIS IS INDEED, THE HAGLER-HEARNS OF THE NEW MELLINIUM!"

[AintGottaClue]

its not suppose to be this way, it was suppose to be a profuntary setup toward another mega fight, it was suppose to be a set up for one of the biggest fight in the last 20 years, instead its high noon in vegas between oscar de la hoya and felix sturm thats right felix sturm
