Hier sollen lustige, nachdenkliche, ernste, heitere Sprüche/Anmerkungen unserer Boxlieblinge eine Heimat finden.

Beginne mal mit ein paar Quotes, die mir gestern beim Stöbern auffielen.


The measure of a man is what happens when nothing works and you got the guts to go on.

Randall "Tex" Cobb


Once, I was at a party... This was at a time when it seemed like i had everything. I was young. I was undefeated. I had money. I'd just moved into my own home. People at the party where laughing and having fun. And i missed my mother. I felt so lonely. I remember asking myself, Why isn't my mother here? Why are all these people around me? I don't want these people around me. I looked out the window and started crying.

Oscar de La Hoya


All my wives were great housekeepers. After every divorce, they kept the house.

Willie Pep


It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.

Larry Holmes


If there was such a thing as reincarnation, Floyd would come back as himself.

Ricky Hatton


Probably not even a household name in his own house.

I'd take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what's going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent throws there's always a counter shot or two which you have to be ready to fire or defend.

Alexis Arguello


It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5 am when you've been sleeping in silk pajamas.

The danger of a closed mind is that it can also leave good things like love, compassion and reason on its outside.

Champions aren't made in the ring. they are merely recognized there. What you cheat on in the early fight of morning will show up in the ring under the bright lights.

Joe Frazier


Don't count the days, make the days count.

Muhammad Ali


Ich weiss, dass ich nicht schlecht bin. Was ich tue, tue ich gern. Ich liebe es, zu boxen. Ich träume davon, ein Boxer zu sein. Ich sehe mich schon, wie ich den Titel gewinne. Welchen, ist egal. Ich sehe, wie man mich auf die Schultern hebt, herumträgt, wie ich meinen Gürtel bekomme. Manchmal sehe ich das alles wie in Zeitlupe.....

ein 43-jähriger Weltergewichtsboxer, der fast alle Kämpfe, in denen er antrat, verloren hat, meist durch KO. (aus über Boxen, Joyce Carol Oates)



"Warum sind Sie Boxer?" wurde der irische Federgewichts-Champion Barry McGuigan einmal gefragt. Er antwortete: "Weil ich kein Dichter bin. Ich kann keine Geschichten erzählen..". (aus über Boxen, Joyce Carol Oates)

Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever.

When I was a young fellow I was knocked down plenty. I wanted to stay down, but I couldn´t. I had to collect the two dollars for winning or go hungry. I had to get up. I was one of those hungry fighters. You could have hit me on the chin with a sledgehammer for five dollars. When you haven´t eaten for two days you´ll unterstand.

Jack Dempsey


I can show you how to box. I can teach you every technique and trick i know, but i can never make you a fighter. That comes from inside, and it´s something no one else can give you.

I watched a TV documentary about how animals are farmed, killed and prepared for us to eat. I saw all those cows and pigs and realized I couldn´t be a part of it any more. It was horrible. I did some research to make sure I could still obtain enough protein to fight and, once satisfied that i could, I stopped. I´ll never go back.

There are a lot of things and in order to be at the top and maintain your focus you have to have something that motivates you. For me, it was what I perceived as a lack of respect from the boxing world as well as the media, which made me want to work so hard and be great.
