Everyone let up on gUt. The guy is just a total moron. Every post he makes is just a reconfirmation of that fact.

Yeah I'm not a retarded teenages I am 24. I have never made excuses for Tyson's actions, just pointed out that he isn't just an out and out monster as many believed. You try going from a poor bordering on homeless nobody to a guy making $50 million a fight and see how you go. Anyway, what I...

Thanks.

Neither me. But I guess he really is that rubbish.

Whatever. Please do not post in this thread. Go and talk about something else about which you know nothing.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that he would never have really stood a chance against Floyd. Having said that, not many have. I love the Ruelas fight. It shows how tough he was. Ruelas was a great fighter himself and for Arturo to come back from all that and KO him was a huge effort. The Robinson...

Haha, wow. Wouldn't have thought that.

Gatti is my second favourite all time fighter. Just behind Roy Jones, it is close though. I have Arturo's entire career on DVD and have watched every professional fight he ever fought that was recorded. Unfortunately gotta disagree with you though on his fight with Floyd. It was just a...

Floyd hypes up his fights, he trash talks for the money. It is pretty simple and it works. He never used to do it until he fought Arturo Gatti. In the lead up to the Gatti fight (which was Floyd's first monster PPV) he called Gatti everything he could think of - C class fighter, club fighter...

Cheers for that. Now **** off please.

Yeah some of the Lewis ones are funny. The best ones are in his initial reign though, because he actially believed what he was saying. By the time he got round to fighting Lewis he was well past his prime and basically just a show, so the ridiculous quotes were just part of the act. He never had...

"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died. I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him...

Tyson - I love this one, classic stuff. "I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain" Other good ones: "Saying Moorer has a glass jaw is an insult to glass" - Larry Merchant on former heavy weight champ Michael Moorer...

Another one I like is from LaMotta: "My three hardest fights have been against Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Robinson. I've fought Ray so many times I'm surprised I don't have diabetes".

You can't help but remember the bite. It was such a massive incident. Also, it was totally unprecedented in the sport. You say that biting happens all the time in boxing. This is wrong. You show me another incident where a man loses part of his body in a bout from a bite. Also, saying the...

The second one is almost sad in a sense. People are so quick to write him off as an animal and don't consider the difficulties associated with the rapid transition he made.

Sorry you are wrong. I am a massive boxing fan and I discuss Iron Mike and his achievements in the ring, where he stacks up against other all time great heavy weights and how he would fare in hypothetical match-ups with other fans on a daily basis. I also enjoy watching him fight. Sure he has...

With all the Iron Mike talk in the other thread I thought I might start one on favourite boxing quotes. There have been heaps of great ones from fighters from back in the 1930s to today. Post your faves if you have any. Tyson has several pearlers. My favourite Tyson one is probably: "My power...

Sure boxing fans talk about his ring legacy, but without a doubt the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Iron Mike is severed ear.
