Love this Tyson quote

Mills Lane stopped the action to ask Randy Tex Cobb if he was okay. When Cobb replied that he was, Lane asked him, "Do you know where you are?" Cobb replied, "I am in Reno, getting the s**t kicked out of me."

In the same fight the action was stopped so the ref could check on Cobb. He asked him, "Do you see me?" Cobb replies, "Yeah. You're white. It's the black guy I'm worried about."

I mentioned this quote of SRR before. Reflecting on youth, prime and downfall.



When asked about his declining skills:


"The fighter himself is the first to know it. You find you have to think your punches. The punches you use to throw without thinking, you now have to reason.

It is something that happens to all of us once the instinctive inventions and discoveries have been made. Then we reach back into the library of our experience, and what was once the product of inspiration is now merely the result of reason."


Now that's some scientific talk there:
Sugar Ray Robinson

Ali, Cobb & Tyson are the best at funny quotes. Ray Robinson above- not a quote, rather a reflection. A britlliant quote IMO!!!!!!




Andre Ward made a comment I really respect. When asked why not come back? You got another good fight or 2 left to which he replied, "Why can't I leave... with one or 2 fights left in me?"

Do we really want our boxers to leave with nothing left to give as a human being? Leave it all in the ring fight by fight, but not leaving the game- with nothing left to give are 2 totally different scenarios.

That makes Ward's comment one for the ages.
IMO.
