He once said, "Sure, there have been deaths and injuries in boxing, but none of them serious." And, "A boxer makes a comeback for two reasons, either he's broke or he needs the money."

"All I do is hit somebody in the mouth. It's a whole lot easier than working for a living. Don't make anything noble out of what I do."

"Yeah, I've been KO'd. Once. By a Mexican bantamweight. How come? Six of my buddies were swinging him around by the heels at the time."

"Boxing writers are the only people out there who have less constructive jobs than what I do. I don't do nothing but hit people, and those mothers don't do nothing but write about what I do!"

"If you screw up in tennis, it's 15-love. If you screw up in boxing, it's your ass, darling!"

"No one hits as hard as [Earnie] Shavers. If there was a fighter that hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him!"

"Sure, I'd love to fight him. But I have my price: twenty-five cents and a loose woman." - On the possibility of a fight against Gerry Cooney.

"You're white. Help me!" - To the referee during his fight against Larry Holmes

"I wasn't talking to Holmes in there. Every time I felt like saying something to him I found it hard because he kept putting his left hand in my mouth."

"I don't think his hands could take the abuse." - On a possible rematch with Holmes

"If I eliminate heart disease, if I walk on water, if I come up with a cure for crippled kids, I can't imagine a greater gift to mankind. That is my greatest accomplishment." - On Howard Cosell's decision to quit covering boxing because he was so disgusted by Cobb's one-sided loss to Holmes

"He has screwed everybody he has ever been around. Hog, dog, or frog, it don't matter to Don. If you got a quarter, he wants the first 26 cents." - On promoter Don King

And my two favourites, also on the Holmes fight:

1. He was asked how he could fight someone whose arms were a foot longer than his were, to which he replied, "Oh, it seemed that way to you too?"

2. "When I got up I stuck to my plan-stumbling forward and getting hit in the face"
