Boxer Quotations

Greg White got a boxer because I said I was getting one. I was talking about getting a boxer since before training camp.

When I was fighting, I would look to excite the crowds with a bolo punch or something taunting. Looking back, they were legal - but not sportsmanlike. I don't recommend another boxer try them. But we looked more to make the robot fights dramatic first and realistic second.

Ringside seats mean you hear the breaking of ribs, the splattered cartilage of what was once the boxer's nose, the dislocation of the jaw, the horrifying 'ugggh' that the boxer utters milliseconds after receiving a crushing left hook to the solar plexus or kidneys or head.

'Iron' Mike Tyson is the last boxer who was truly embraced by the media. They followed him around. You didn't know what he was going to do next: bite you, cut you, fight you. When you think about it, that defines him - it was an exciting adventure.

I finished 'American Born Chinese' in 2005, so after that, I started actively researching the Boxer Rebellion.

You couldn't find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard.

My parents gave me a boxer puppy as a present. I have wanted a dog for years and must first give her attention in the morning.

All of a sudden, one day, you're this boxer that everybody like, or you're this guy that people pass on the highway and wave at. The next day, you're this guy that everybody want to touch - be in touch with you. Then you think that this is the answer to all things.

I think that every boxer should understand he's on the pedestal for a short span. It's best that you use boxing and don't let boxing use you. Use boxing to sell, because people are selling you through your boxing career, so you have to learn to sell yourself, and you'll never starve.

The Democratic policy is any abortion, any time, for any reason at any point in a woman's pregnancy, right up until the last minute, to be paid by taxpayers. Barbara Boxer described this policy as, 'It's not a life until it leaves the hospital.'

When I looked into the lives of the Chinese saints, I discovered that many of them had died during the Boxer Rebellion, a war that occurred on Chinese soil in the year 1900.

Scott's preparations have gone perfect. We respect Elcock and realise this guy is, outside of Eastman, the best boxer Scott will have fought.

Sen. Boxer is thrilled this lawsuit has been dropped -- maybe they finally realized they didn't have a leg to stand on.

Senator Boxer has said she would vote for the Feingold resolution.

Most people script, but people script for different reasons. I think the main thing you want to do, aside from scoring, is kind of see what the intentions of the defense are on that first drive, in that first set of plays. It's kind of like a boxer coming out and jabbing a little bit. You're trying to see what the other guy is going to do.

Nobody really knows for sure how the Boxer Rebellion started. It began among the poor, and the history of the poor is rarely written down.

I can guarantee this. One of the members of the group today is wearing Jimi Hendrix boxer shorts.

'I Am Legend' is quite unusual for its time. I just wanted to write a story about female boxers, and I couldn't get that going in my mind. I don't know exactly where the idea of just a man pitting himself against a robot boxer came from.

I did 'Echo Beach,' a surfing drama that meant I was often topless. Next came 'Demons,' and the opening sequence had me in my boxer shorts; and then there was a scene in 'Trinity' with me walking around in boxer shorts. It was only one scene in each series.

I'd walk into the Leafs dressing room to get ready for the day and Harold (Ballard, the owner) would be there in his boxer shorts shaving. King Clancy would drop by a little later, play the fool, and then head off to the racetrack.

I don't think it's really a term you would come across in boxing. I have a friend who is a boxer who uses creative terms to describe certain aspects, and I thought it was an interesting-sounding term that would fit in with the concept of the album.

He's got some intestinal fortitude, which I don't know if I've ever seen before. Almost as if he has the mentality of a boxer or a football player.

He's been doing this for 10 years, of course he gets hurt. It's a blood sport. You're supposed to get hurt. ... Every boxer gets hurt. When you come back from sparring, you're hurt.

He is who he is. That's THE boxer out of Mexico. Period.

I thought that he would have been a better boxer than a football player, because being a football player you have to have size, you have to have speed. It's a lot more difficult to get a scholarship for football than it is to go into the gym and go box.

People love boxing, but you've gotta wait two or three years for your favorite boxer to have a fight.

I think I lost my touch some time ago. I'm like an aging boxer that should not go into the ring,

That was the best performance by a British boxer since I've been involved with the sport.

I would like to be remembered as a boxer who tried to do his best.

We are gratified to receive the support from all the mayors, as well as from Senator Boxer and Representative Pelosi. It points up the fact that caregivers want a compromise agreement that benefits our patients. We don't understand what's wrong with Sutter Health that it would force a strike instead.

This time I fought a very good boxer in Casson, who had several fights under her belt, and I believe having so much support from the home crowd helped my cause. By fighting close to home again, I'll have my family and friends in my corner.

There is nothing in this letter that gives Senator Boxer any comfort that a catastrophic earthquake in California would be handled any better than Katrina. We just hope and pray that the earthquakes will wait until DHS finishes all their bureaucracy.

there have been numerous calls even at night asking the boxer for tickets, plane fares and other favors.

Every boxer that puts on the gloves dreams of someday hearing the words 'and new champion...'

Flipping through the 'Toronto Star' one day in 2008, I noticed a piece about a phenomenal boxer from the Philippines who had won several different titles in several different weight divisions. Manny Pacquiao's rise from heart-crushing poverty to the top ranks of his sport was astounding.

A former games boxer I met in the pub the other day said if you ever get the opportunity go to it because it's better than the Olympics.

Now I've stopped wearing huge trousers I can't wear boxer shorts. I wear thongs. When I first wore them I felt rude, I kept seeing my bare bum - then I liked it.

The Boxer Rebellion is a war that was fought on Chinese soil in the year 1900. The Europeans, the Japanese and their Chinese Christian allies were on one side. On the other were poor, starving, illiterate Chinese teenagers whom the Europeans referred to as the Boxers.

Ali absolutely worshiped Ray. Still does. Usually, the greatest fall from grace is by fighters. People tend to avoid ex-fighters. They feel they took one too many. Randy Turpin once asked Ray, 'What's worse, being a has-been or a never-was?' Then Randy committed suicide. But the people never forgot Ray. He felt God had made him a boxer for that reason. So he would not be forgotten. So he could help.

Z has the potential to be a world champion. He's a very good prospect. He's a solid boxer, but he's not a huge puncher. He's probably a better boxer than Manny and he has good fundamentals, but Manny just has such power and speed. But Z is quick and technically very sound.

Youngster year he lost a real close decision. Last year he won Nationals as a second class and got the outstanding boxer award. Hopefully he will repeat again this year.

This is huge for Chad. This is what he?s been waiting for, what he?s been working for and his life as a boxer is on the line. He?s ready for it and Harding is in for a long night.

They're boxer shorts. Make sure you get that right. I don't want anyone thinking I wear anything else.

No matter how skilled a boxer may be, he cannot stand up in the ring and give a good account of himself unless he is in perfect physical condition.

As a 15-year-old, you think a 46-year-old is too old to win. It kind of was like watching an old boxer like Muhammad Ali fighting Larry Holmes and you hope he's going to beat the guy, but you think he's going to get the (stuffing) beat out of him. You're thinking, 'I hope he wins, but I don't think he's going to do it.' And then he came out with the goods. It was unbelievable.

I'm in the premium position with just a few boys breathing down my neck. I should have been a boxer after the shot put, I'm just so full of adrenaline.

I never ran with my dad. He was old-school. He had a whole different idea of training. He ran in steel-toed boots! But, of course, he's proud of me and proud of the boxer that I became.

He's just an all around dirty fighter. I can't stress that enough, he's just dirty. He's always been dirty, he's known for this. He's no boxer and I don't think that he'll be remembered as a great boxer, just a dirty, dirty fighter. He don't win the right way, he cheats to win and I don't consider that winning a boxing match, (much less) an undisputed middleweight title (match).

I could never leave Las Vegas. I can't really afford New York or Los Angeles. I love this town. We don't have that much. We have the Runnin' Rebels and boxer Floyd Mayweather. When Mayweather fights, it's good for the whole city. It's like the Super Bowl out here.

greatest boxer in his era who retired at the right time.
