    What’s the funniest/worst statement you’ve seen in boxing?

    A couple of nominations:

    Bellew: “David Price is the heir to the Klitschko throne”.

    Johnny Nelson: “Brook can KO GGG early”.

    Spencer Fearon: “Oh please Walters would KO Lomachenko”.

    And my new personal favourite. Jake Wood was asked who is the greatest British fighter not to win a world title his answer:
    “Lewis Ritson”.

    I’m sure there’s loads more post as many as possible...

      Roy Jones Jr explanation as to why James Toney would beat Vitali Klitschko. I can't remember what he said word for word, but it was something like Vitali is the better of the Klitschko brothers, and Chris Byrd beat Vitali, and James Toney is better than Byrd.

        Another Nelson one was his claim that Bellew didn't hve to knock Usyk out, he could outbox him.

              There was a thread here years ago about putting an asterisk on Emile Griffith's wins because he was attracted to men. I think that's the single most moronic statement I've ever seen made about boxing.

                My favorite one recently was right after Ruiz got up from the knockout, Mora said "Joshua is one of the best finishers in the sport...Watch This!!" And Joshua was knocked down about 8 seconds later.
