Favorite prefight quotes and callouts

[global]

I just saw a quote from Kendall Holt saying if him and Vivian Harris meet "there's going to be some slow singing and flower bringing." Made me think about some of the trash talking over the years. Nevermind if they backed it up what are some of your favorite quotes or callouts?

"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 graduate now"

John Ruiz after losing to Roy Jones

Did Ruiz really say that?

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

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

Tony Galento (when asked about the Bard of Avon): "Shakespeare? I ain't never heard of him. I suppose he's one of them foreign heavyweights. They're all lousy. Sure as hell I'll moider de bum."

Mohammed Ali: It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

: I am the greatest.

: (after failing an Army intelligence test) I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

Brian London (on being asked if he would fight Ali again): Sure, as long as he ties a 56 lb. weight to each leg."

Willie Pep: I've got it made. I've got a wife and a TV set -- and they're both working.

Tony Sibson (on being beaten in a match): I figured I'd find him sooner or later but I never did. I asked myself "Where did he go?" I knew he was there because he kept hitting me.

Tex Cobb (on an equally terrible match): When I got up I stuck to my plan -- stumbling forward and getting hit in the face.

Max Barr (on Joe Louis): He hit me 18 times while I was in the act of falling.

Anon (on Don Cockell): He is the biggest thing on canvas since "The Wreck of the Hesperus".

Harry Kabakoff (on Chango Cruz): The bum was up and down so many times I thought he was an Otis elevator.

Tommy Farr: Every time I hear the name Joe Louis my nose starts to bleed.

Willie Pastrano (when asked by the ring doctor if he knew where he was): You're damn right I do. I'm in Madison Square Garden getting the shit knocked out of me.

Henry Cooper was once confronted by a boxing abolitionist, Baroness Edith Summerskill, about the brutalities of his sport. We can all learn from his words of wisdom.

Baroness: Mr Cooper, have you looked in teh mirror lately and seen the state of your nose?
Cooper: Well madam, have you looked in the mirror and seen the state of your nose? Boxing is my excuse. What's yours?

The following conversation was heard during an amateur boxing match in the 1940s between a boxer who wanted to give up and his trainer trying to dissuade him from doing so.

Boxer: Throw in the towel.
Trainer: There's no towel.
Boxer: Throw in the sponge.
Trainer: There's no sponge.
Boxer: Then throw in the f*ing bucket!

Joe Frazier once met fellow-boxer Ken Norton at a social gathering. I am not sure if a fight followed the conversation below.

Frazier: Hey man, what you been doing?
Norton: My wife just had a baby.
Frazier? Congratulations! Whose baby is it?

Forty years after his heyday, an old opponent met Willie Pep on the street. "Do you recognise me?" he asked. Willie looked hard and considered before finally replying "Lie down so I can recognise you."

Sam Langford was one boxer for whom confidence came easily. Before the start of one match he addressed the crowd "You'll pardon me gentlemen if I make the fight short. I have a train to catch." He then knocked out his opponent in the first round and promptly left for the station. (He caught the train).

On another occasion he was fighting a 12-round match with Jack Thompson. At the start of the seventh round he extended his glove to Thompson (this was the usual ritual done in the final round of a boxing match) who was quite puzzled. "This ain't the last round Sam." he said. "It is for you," replied Sam and a punch later, Thompson was unconscious.

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."
