I have loads man...

As a history guy, I have to go with Ali- “ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong, they never called me a ******”.

Ray Robinson famously said: “rhythm is everything in boxing”. That’s very apt IMO.

Gonna throw two in from Tarver. “You got any excuses tonight Roy” and “This fight was more about what Roy lost than what I took”. Both these quotes always stuck with me.

Got to throw two trainers in there too.

Angelo Dundee to SRL- “You’re blowing it now son”.

Ingle about Hamed- “4 more fights and he’s finished”.

Jake LaMotta has a tonne of great quotes also.

Just curious, how old are you?
