She replied " Wot time shall i go to Mr Ali's room ? " lol classic

Re: How Would You Best Describe A Fighter With A LIONHEART ?
I think if heart alone made a great fighter cast your mind back to this -
Thomas Hearns v Dennis Andries , was a brutal slaughter from start to finish Andries showed true heart.
and another quote this time from Manny Stewart who took Andries to Kronk after the fight with Tommy.( and remember how bad Andries was in the fight )
a member of the press said to Manny . " strange choice taking Andries to Kronk at his age , i mean you cant teach and old dog new tricks "!!!!!
Manny replied " This old dog Dennis does know any tricks " lol classic
and of course Manny made Dennis a champ in Kronk colours.

Reporter"How do you respond to accusations that your a fat ,lazy,coke addict?"
Cobb"Hey,Im not fat"

Lol, that's a classic. Cobb was crazy. A tough s.o.b. though. Pavlik is showing he's got a heart. Taylor hurt him and he got up and went right back to his gameplan, no hesitation walking right back in front of JT. The next couple of years will show better though. Miranda has a lionheart IMO.

Re: How Would You Best Describe A Fighter With A LIONHEART ?
Anyone remember Jeff HArding, former LHW champ? Won the WBC title v Andries with a 12th round TKO after trailing on the cards. Actually had 3 fights with ANdries and won two of them. All wars. Last fight was a decision loss to Mike Mcallum. Harding had little talent but a tonne of heart.
