Any one know any fighters that didnt mind a bit of trash talk to get their name mentioned in the sports section, or just to gee up an opponent in general?
These two quotes have stuck in my mind for a while, which is what got me thinking about this, hope you guys can throw up a few more examples too
Lovemore Ndou (comments post Mundine vs Geale)
Ndou, 37, said Geale "was such a nice guy he wouldn't retaliate against Mundine's constant illegal tactics''.
"But I'd love to fight Mundine and show Daniel what to do with the rough stuff. If Mundine elbowed me I'd elbow him back so hard he'd need 1000 stitches in his face,'' Ndou said. "If Mundine hit me low I'd kick his manhood down his throat.''
Vic Darchinyan (before his bout with Arce)
"I can't get enough of Mexican fighters," said Darchinyan. "They bounce real good off the canvas when I hit them. Let's see, I've stopped Cristian Mijares, Victor Burgos and Luis Maldonado over the past two years. Unlike Jorge Arce, those three fighters were very tough hombres. Defeating Arce won't take much training. It won't even be a fight for me!"
It's great stuff when it's done right
