funny lying yesterday
Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth.
fighter pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter I've ever seen
fighting names fans
My matchmakers said Shane would make the most entertaining fight for the fans. For pure name recognition Shane Mosley is the best fighter for marketability.
hurt strong fighter
Shane Mosley is a dangerous fighter. He is bigger than Manny, strong and he still has his speed. He has never been stopped. He can take anyone's best punch and come back as strong as ever. He's so resilient. You can't hurt him.
fighting opponents fighter
Nobody can count Shane Mosley out. He is a good, good fighter, especially when he fights an aggressive opponent like Manny Pacquiao.
fighting talking yankee-stadium
Hopkins is talking about fighting at Yankee Stadium but that's rubbish. If he fought at Yankee Stadium, even the ushers wouldn't want to watch him. Bernard Hopkins couldn't draw breath.
fight fighting victory won
(Judah) will probably put up a much better fight because he's fighting for his life, in effect, than if he had just won a victory over Baldomir.
animosity fueled knew meant trying type
I knew what he was trying to do. That type of stuff, which really meant nothing, fueled the controversy and animosity between us.

appreciate attraction beginning biggest fighter follow knows media naturally position public talented
I think the public now is beginning to appreciate this man's talent. As the most talented fighter in the world, he will be in a position to be the biggest attraction and make the most money. I think one thing will naturally follow the other, as long as -- as he said -- is cooperative with the media and knows and understands promotion. The sky's the limit.
criticism critics-and-criticism last
The one criticism I have about Don is that he doesn't have any restraint. You make a buck, but it doesn't have to be your last buck.
abc ali household mark network olympics ray ready sugar time
Leonard and Ali made their mark on network television, the Olympics ? Ali on 'Wide World of Sports,' Sugar Ray on ABC and so forth. By the time they were ready to go for the big bucks, they were household names. In this environment, it's much tougher.
boxing decision rematches
I'm gonna make a ton of money on the rematch, but that decision was horrible.
