Boxing promoters, for all the bad [things] you say about them, have an eye for talent, |
Greg Page ... was one of the greatest amateurs I ever saw, and that's 40 years of watching. But I put to you: He never fully, I think, achieved his potential. |
He had landed the 'thunder and lightning', but to no avail...Ingo was a very good boxer, but I won't fib, he wasn't great. |
If Rahman walked down street in his gloves and boxing trunks, they'd have a problem recognizing him. |
It is a terrible division. |
It was an event, not a fight. Hubert H. Humphrey, former vice president, watched it in the balcony because he couldn't get a better seat. It was a great fight, not as great as the third one in Manila. But the event transcended that. When the fighters entered, you couldn't hear the announcers. I've never heard or seen anything like it again. |

Ray Lewis would be a hell of a heavyweight. |
The heavyweight division is on the cusp of being called off for lack of interest, ... A hundred years ago boxing was one of the top three sports in the country. Now it's charitably twelfth on the list of top 10 sports. Therein lies its biggest problem. People have so many things to consider in the world of sports that it takes a major fighter to capture their attention. |

There's a lot of money to be made by somebody, but I don't know who that somebody would be. |
They gave him a steak the night before the bout and said they had prepared that one especially for him. I definitely think it had been spiked with something. He had landed the 'thunder and lightning', but to no avail...Ingo was a very good boxer, but I won't fib, he wasn't great. |
