Funny boxing quotes

I like these 2 by Joe Frazier:

Frazier on George Foreman's comeback and a possible 3rd fight between the 2: (roughly translated)

"When you fight George Foreman, (Foreman had become a born again preacher) you've gotta fight 2 people, god and George Foreman".

Frazier when told that Ken Norton's wife was having a baby:

"Who's the father?"

(Who says Smokin' Joe didn't have a sense of humor)

What kind of slut was Ken's wife?

Frazier was just busting Norton's balls, I don't don't think he meant anything by it.

Norton and Frazier were cordial and Frazier had hired Norton as a sparring partner in the past.I think he was busting Ken's chops.

Red Smith in reference to "Ali - Norton II." "If Ali won that fight, the Japanese won WWII."

I had to break a rule and go on the net to get the following quote. I was just surfing the net for boxing quotes with no intention of putting them on here, but I can't resist this one.


Tony Galento, when asked about 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."

Ali had rough go with Ken Norton, he got his jaw broken and lost their first fight, to Ali's credt he finished the fight, you'd have to be a pretty tough mo-fo to go most of 12 rounds with a broken jaw.

I remember watching that 1st Norton-Ali fight live, on ABC, with Howard Cosell calling the action, I thought Howard was gonna cry seeing his g/f get beat up.

Tyson was a sewer mouth wasn't he, funny thing, he didn't KO Mitch Green, it went to a 10 round decision.

"My back is broken."

Mike Tyson

Ali won the second Norton fight,but Norton clearly won the first and third fights.

"Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth"

-Bob Arum

"The only thing my old man ever gave me was a beating."-Sonny Liston

It isn't the fact that Tyson said I broke my back.

It is Jim Gray's follow up questions asking for more specifics and Mike basically says: It's spinal.

hahahah i was laughing my ass off when that interview happened live

I remember Tyson always talking about "feeding his children", I thought that feeding his brats would only take a fraction of what this clown blew on new cars, houses, and drugs every month.

Agreed. Tyson's a case for retroactive abortion.

I can't think of one redeemable quality Tyson has Frank, he's pretty much been a piece of shit his entire life. My 3 favorite Tyson fights are Douglas-Tyson, Holyfield-Tyson I, and after making the comment about eating his children, Lewis-Tyson, that should tell you what I think about Tyson.

toney galento had several..when learning lou nova in his upcoming fight was a colldge grasde tony said..collich kid ill moider the bum....tony use to own a bar i think and tendered bar had a few beers with the boys often then took off the bar apron and said see you latere guys i got a fight tonight...dempsey after losing the first tunney fight gave his wife the reason why..honey i forgot to duck...liston when he started to walk into the ring for patterson 2 was asked hows the fight going to go..sonny stuttered a bit and said its gonna be a re-run...like the movies..galento after losing a fight..i shudda trained for a few days..
