One of my favorites is Vargas' jab at DLH before the Tito fight, saying:
"THIS Mexican... won't run."
Of course, as luck would have it, maybe he should've run after all.

"I want to do what my boxing idol, Sugar Ray Robinson, couldn't do, and that's win the light heavyweight championship.”
He did.
“I function better as an underdog in everything I do in life, with my back against the wall. That's why I hold on to my past.”
Well spoken...and it served him right...for all these years.
Im one of the top three PPV attractions around
Fuckin liar ;D
"He was screaming like my wife" Tyson (haha... of course)
"I wasn't knocked down" Darchinyan

My favourite 3 Ive ever heard:
"Frank Warren reminds me of the young girls who used to follow me round nightclubs. Only with beadier eyes, redder cheeks and deeper pockets".
David Haye
"The fight with John Ruiz is going to be any way he wants to make it. He can do it the hard way, get beat up for 12 rounds and end up in the hospital. Or, he can do it the easy way, get hit on the chin and go to sleep.”
James Toney
"When people asked me who I was fighting next I was embarrassed to say Carl Froch".
Jermain Taylor
can't help but feel a bit sorry for Don King there lol left all alone waving his little flag hahahaha
i remember for the Trinidad/Vargas fight, right when they're doing the intros, Tito starts yelling at the top of his lungs "Aaaaaaand Neeeeeeeew IBF Champion" lol priceless
OK it was after the fight but Ali saying "I am the king of the World" and "I'm a bad man".
I seen George Foreman shadowbox and the shadow won. Ali
If you dream of beating me you better wake up and apologize. Ali
Not read all thread so this may already have been mentioned but I always remember James Toney calling out Benn and Eubank in that Jonathan Ross tv show before their rematch.
He was on a tv link up with Mickey Rourke in states - think he even insulted Eubank's mum !
Too bad a fight never happened
Tyson to Razor Ruddock prior to 1st fight : "I'll make you my girlfriend" :-X
This one has too much to quote...but it was classic.At the end,Trice lets his mouth right a check his azz cannot cash!

George Foreman; "I'm gonna eat Evander Holyfield like a chicken leg!"
I have it up in my house, it's a good shot.
Sadly to spoil it from you I know a bit about the story behind it, there's actually stuff a little below them, you can't see it because of the height of the camera/prospective.
Not a prefight quote, but the funniest I have ever read was from an article on here not that long ago on Earnie Shavers.
Earnie was telling how Sylvester Stallone got ahold of him as a possible opponent for one of his Rocky movies. Earnie said he could tell that if he opened up he would kill Stallone, but Stallone was adament that Earnie, "Open up, I want this thing to look real." So Earnie did and batted Stallone around the ring a while.
He didn't get the part. :( :D
"Clay can keep his pretty face. I don't want it. I'm just going to rip his kidneys out! Joe Frazier
"I zigged when i should have zagged" Jack Dempsey
"I admit he used to get to me. It got worse and worse and when he said something to me, I spat in his face. I didn't want to punch him because I might have hurt my hand and nobody was paying me - but I had to do something" Lloyd Honeyghan (on Marlon Starling)
"No running, no hiding from no one. You stand there and you fight till the blood run in your shoes. But donlt you run" Beau Jack
"He's gonna need an industrial strength toothpick to pick the leather out of his teeth. I'm gonna hit this man so hard he's gonna grwo an afro. The only way he's gonna get close to me is if he wets both his lips - cos they're as big as a plunger - and sticks them on my chest" Micheal Olajide (on Iran Barklay)
A quality bit of telly. The reactions of Benn and Eubank were like chalk and cheese. Benn was well up for a fight with Toney but Eubank seemed genuinely hurt by it and I am sure he said it would keep him awake at night.
Best quote I have read comes from james Toney's fight build up with Nunn. Nunn was making fun of Toney and Toney blew up and shouted "I am going to kill you, you motherfucker. Going to break your bones, going to break your fucking bones"
