James Toney to Nigel Benn: Your mum looks like the loch ness monster.

[Ash-Weston]

James Toney to Nigel Benn: Your mum looks like the loch ness monster.

"if you thought the world was shocked when nixon resigned, just wait until i whoop foremans behind!" ali- the greatest.

Floyd Money Mayweather to Ricky Hatton...."Im goonna make him my prison bitch" lol. I was slightly worried about Floyds sexuality after that

"First your legs go. Then you lose your reflexes. Then you lose your friends." - Willie Pep

That is a very good quote and says it all really about hangers on and leaving the limelight

" I can look you in the face and say you gonna get KNOCKED OUT...........IN YOUR HOME TOWN"

Naz before the kevin kelly fight

my recollection was : "I can honestly say, without any shadow of a doubt, that you are gonna get knocked SPARK out!"

to which Kelley replied, "I'm gonna smoke your boots"....

At the time you really believed Naz - who as a person I don't have any time for prsonally - but my did Kelley have other ideas......I was rooting for the underdog in all honesty, i.e. KK, at 4am on radio 5 Live, when Naz went down I thought, "lucky punch"........when he hit the deck the second time the Englishman in me sat the fck up out my bed and said "COME ON NAZ!!!"

Well, i could have also looked on you tube to get it word perfect....... DD

Great line by Naz and Kelly did get sparked in his home town

[Quixall]

James Toney after hearing someone say Roy Jones was a great boxer.......

"Great boxer, Roy Jones ? Great boxer, did you hear what he said ? Roy Jones aint no great boxer..........."

Well he certainly beat your ass James

Boy, James Toney really does take absolute shite at times, but i love him for it

Hatton on being KO'd by PBF "The sheets in my hotel room were bright blue, when i opened my eyes i thought i was still in bed"

I thought someone would have mentioned Willie Pastrano by now. Between rounds against José Torres (I think), he was asked by the concerned ringside Doctor "Do you know where you are?" His classic response:

"You're damn right I know where I am! I'm in Madison Square Garden getting the sh!t kicked out of me!"

[Wake up call]

Here's one that was said to me I found funny.

"I'm not scared of nobody. I've had 100 street fights and I got my arse kicked in 80 of them." Curtis Woodhouse.

"Joe Frazier is the best fighter in the world next to me."

Muhammad Ali after the fight that ruined them.

i remember standing next to garry delaney at york hall when simon harris boxed maurce core for the british title. this bird came up to him and asked for an autograth.
garry took out a photo card to sign for her and as he was doing so the bird said

"garry can i say how come you don't look like a boxer" and quick as a flash garry replied "because im good love" everyone around us was just cracking up

Hatton on being KO'd by PBF "The sheets in my hotel room were bright blue, when i opened my eyes i thought i was still in bed"

This stoy was originally told about jurgen brahmer in an amatuer match with Hatton

Not sure if it's apocryphal or not but one laid at the door of Tex Cobb...at a heavyweights tribute dinner with all boxing royalty there, about 30 years ago or so (Ali, Louis, etc), Cobb gets up to make a toast.

"I'm honoured to be in the same room as some of the baddest n*****s on the planet!"
An enraged Renaldo Snipes stands up.
"I'm not going stand here and let you call me a n*****r!"
"Relax...I wasn't talking about you."

My god am i the only guy who didnt know Tex Cobb used to be a professional boxer???

I just thought he was an actor, wasnt he in digstown?

[McCannW14]

The Lloyd Honeyghan quote is correct but it wasneither ~Gene Hatcher or Curry it was the fight against Johny Bumphus

Thats right and in the same post fight interview when asked by Harry Carpenter why he was so eager to dart over the ring to KO Bumphus, Honeyghan said "I dont get paid for overtime"

[DIRT SUGAR]

Takaloo and Anthony Small having a bit of pre-fight banter and Small goes 'remember when you fought Wayne' and quick as you like Tak replied 'No!'

Iran Barkley at press conference: "I'd like to thank Madison Square Garden for giving the opportunity to break Michael Olajide's bones!"

"My Back Was Broken"

"My Back Was Broken"

To be fair - it WAS spinal...

;)

[IRLangmaid25]

I remember David Haye saying after beating Enzo Maccarenelli: I like to thank allegedly for sacrificing Maccarenelli, and I don't want anymore of his money.

Arturo Gatti on the golf course after slicing a ball into trees and hitting the trees and ducking because it sound like gunfire. "If I have ducked like that I would have won a few more of my fights".

[forcefraser]

Mark Krence after his Prizefighter first fight win, he said " I got a round of Fuc*s in the corner". This prompted a stampede of "Excuse the language" from poor old Adam Smith and the ringside reporter.
