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.

"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.
