Who Said It and When?

Post by Tony1244 »

1. You're blowing it son, you're blowing it.

2. I hit him with shots that would have knocked down buildings.

3. I'd face him for 25 cents and a BJ.

4. No one will ever forget what you did here tonight.

5. Boxing is a lot like jazz. The better it is, the less appreciated it is.

6. What is the use of being Irish if you can't be stupid?

7. What was I supposed to do? Write him a letter?

Who said & when -

"I wasn't going to teach him how to fight. I was there basically to motivate him, get him going. I'm not going to teach him how to throw a left hook, or a right hand. C'mon, he's a lot better than me".
