Mike Tyson is a gold mine for threads like this.

"the bell went ding and I went dong!"

"What a piece of shit you turned out to be!" - Norman Stone to referee

"And they openly weeped together and hugged each other, in a graphic depiction of what could only be described as the true meaning of man love, that's the kind of man Miguel Cotto is!" - Jim Lampley

"I'm just praying that Allah makes him nice and safe and there's nothing wrong with him, THAT's what I hope" - Naseem Hamed

"You don't hit the speed bag like you're trying to kill it, you hit it like you hit your woman." - Joe Frazier

"Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to meet Don King, but now that I have I realize that he's a fornicating asshole and a racist! Don King's a racist person!" - Chris Arreola

"Shit!" - Chris Arreola after being asked what he thought when Travis Walker knocked him down

"He was beating me easily, but because he's an IDIOT, he threw the fight away." - Riddick Bowe on Golota

"Toney, at 237lbs.....is a fat tub of goo." - Jim Lampley

"Hes fat, fat like my babys ass." - Mayorga on Vargas.

This next one, God it was brilliant. I dont know how the commentator got away with it. He was British.

Commentator: "Pearson is a terribly dull fighter, but speaking on BBC Radio about some of his strong points earlier and heres one --- we dont see him very often."

After Pearson is knocked down...

"Oh, and hes down. Stroke of luck."

As he tries to get back up...

"No, please stay down, Nigel."

As hes counted out...

"And its over --- and thats put me out of my misery and hopefully you as well!"

It was Steve Holdsworth on Eurosport doing the Sedrick Fields v Ruslan Chagaev fight not sure where you got Pearson from

George Foreman - Don King offered me $5,000,000 to fight Mike Tyson and he said sign on the dotted line. I was more affraid of Don King and the dotted line than I was of Mike Tyson.
