A prisoner I saw on telly walking out of a jail recently said to one of the screws who asked if he would be comming back;

"Sometimes the best way to avoid a punch is to just stand back, but stand back too far, and you're not really fighting at all" (Million Dollar Baby).

An old boxing axiom I've heard before, "Sometimes no footwork is the best footwork." It comes to mind when I watch a Locche or McCallum fight. Ironically Muhammad Ali said it himself that if you have to take three steps to your opponent's two that you're going to get tired.

There are some great boxing quotes. I think there was a thread started about this in the main board.

Another quote (that doesn't apply to boxing only) I heard went something like this: "People hardly ever follow their own advice, no matter how good it may be". Can't remember where I heard it, although something similiar was said in Million Dollar Baby as well.
