This boxing quote made my day!!!

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - President Teddy Roosevelt.

LOL. Quote of the day for me.

"To box is to dance...to dance is to step on someone's toes...and just for that they hit you". ..who said that....Edgar G. just made it up. Anyone can make up half-silly comments.

The only clever, meaningful one I've seen on this page is the Jack Dempsey one. I think it was also he who, when explaining to his wife after losing to Gene Tunney, said, "Honey, I zagged when I shudda zigged'....." (can be corrected on this, maybe it was Max Baer who was genuinely inventive)

Max Baer when on his deathbed in a hotel room, was asked if he wanted the house doctor. He said "No, I want a people doctor".

Jackie Mason..."I gave him my ONE FIVE....two three and Four he gave me".

And another of his..." Yes, I was in the ring, I threw a left, a right, an uppercut, a left hook......then my opponent came into the ring..."

Of course, we have to suspect everything these days, most of the above could have been written by "quip writers", the way joke writers compose jokes for comedians who otherwise wouldn't ever have an original thought in their heads.

And then there was the one where the ringside broadcasting commentator, his colleagues, the ref, and the single boxer in the ring were all looking up at the lights..The commentator was saying into the microphone.".....Killer McNulty hasn't landed once this round yet...."

Don't know who wrote that....??

And there was the one (genuine) that my old trainer Frankie Kerr (father of Brian Kerr the England football coach) said to ME during a training afternoon in Dublin University, whilst watching the team middleweight sparring. "..... He'd make a better light-heavyweight.....
"light in the head, and heavy on the feet...." I thought it was hilarious and never have forgotten it.

Max Baer, Jackie Mason? Are you a *** by any chance?
