"I am the greatest heavyweight on the planet. If he gets in the ring with me he will get an education. He probably never went to high school so he figures there is no need to greduate now"

Lennox Lewis on Riddick Bowe not willing to fight him for the WBC belt

" i don't want to talk right now! I don't know how anyone can think about interviews after seeing that robbery"
John Ruiz after losing to Roy Jones

Did Ruiz really say that?

If he did he is an even bigger mupet than I thought.

Yeah he said it...I was watching the news and they were trying to talk to him whiles he went to his car outside the arena....he wouldnt answer them he just kept walking til finally he turned around and said it...I thought he was going to cry I swear

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

Sorry, off topic, but I had to comment on your sig pic . . . that is the epitome of trust!!!

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.

[Memphis]

I remember when Benn was trying to get Eubank back in the ring. Benn was after a million quid and Eubank said "Pay him the money, please give him what he wants, if they cannot give you what you want please compromise" Benn responded with "Yeah I'll compromise, I'll fight some guys ranked 20-30 in the world and have them moved into the top ten just like you do"

Piss off

"Keep asking me no matter how long,
On the war in Vietnam I sing this song'
I ain't got no quarrel with the Viet Cong."

[tedsares]

Boxers have long given us memories to remember... and I don't mean just in the ring.


While we're on the topic of boxing, why did Ali show more sense than many of his countrymen and refuse to serve in Vietnam? In his own words:


"Keep asking me no matter how long,
On the war in Vietnam I sing this song'
I ain't got no quarrel with the Viet Cong."

Piss off!
