"It's my job to take punches" said by Michael Gomez complaining about the stoppage after getting beat by Carl Johansen.
I would have laughed if he wasn't being serious.
Michael Gomez often comes out with funny comments.
Pre-Johannesson he said "the last time he got banjoed he took his time coming back but this time he's getting straight back into being banjoed!"
Amir Khan says some funny things although I'm not sure thats always intentional.
Post-Limond explanation "I'd been up late the night before signing autographs!" and then theres how many times he says "you know what I mean!"

Well, it's kicking a man when he's down but - Audley Harrison, after his TKO3 victory over Danny Williams :
"In 2007 I will win the world title, in 2008 I will be undisputed!"
Also, another vote here for "He's gone, Jim!" That never gets old. "His legs have gone!"

I remember Khan being interviewed after one of his fights a good while back.
The andrenaline was still flowing and he started talking 100 MPH and stuttering and he said something like:
"I'm going to be a World Champ real soon, it's not far away now".

"Diaz and Pacquiao are great fighters, but I could beat them both," said Khan.
"I'm fighting in front of a 10,000 sell-out on Saturday night so I think I'm one of the main men in the division.
I nearly fell of my chair laughing.

After Frank Maloney parted company with Lewis you could see how bitter he was about it...at some point later he said about Scott Harrison...
"The way he is in training right now he could take anyone in the world, I would hand on heart give him a real chance at beating Lennox Lewis at this stage, I'm not joking, Scott is so aggressive and hitting so hard that he could take Lewis at this point".

I was going to say that one :good
Look how many Danish fans used to go and see Brian Neilsen and i certainly dont recall him ever being a main man in the division :yep
When he starts to beat a couple of prime top 10 fighters in the division then he can call himself one of the main men.
I would love to see Khan vs Katsidis, would be the greatest 90 seconds of boxing ever.

Fuck off! :lol:
I remember some trainer on FNF saying something like "Go to the body...there's organs there!!!". A few of Larry Merchant's have been absolutely classic. "That whale has just been harpooned". After Forrest got a massive gift against Quartey, he started thanking God, his family and so on. Merchant piped in with "I think you should also thank the judges". Just before Jones/Ruiz, Foreman came out with "Tonight the referee is going to be the most important man in the ring apart from the two fighters" or something like that. I also like Larry Holmes' "Is your name Fanny? Peter? Ok, Peter. If I offended you, so...fucking...what".

Serious, that is not word for word, but that is basically what he said and he added in the bit about being serious to make sure people did not think he was just saying Harrison was looking great in training.
Like Don King said about Frank...
"A mental midget". That works in two different ways, just add a comma after mental and it gives it a whole new and still very apt meaning.

Bobby is undoubtedly the most devastating and powerful cruiserweight in the game today, he is on a quest to become the toughest, most devastating and vicious fighter since Jack Dempsey,”
“Enzo Maccarinelli will look more like Enzo ‘Macaroni’ when he feels the crippling power of Bobby Gunn. Enzo has not faced a fighter like Bobby Gunn… ever.”
Gunn also says in the same article that he had a fight lined up with RJJ but wanted a real challenge so took on a young champion like Enzo, rather than an old washed up RJJ.

Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"
"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him."
"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children."
"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

as if it wasn't bad enough, he went on to make an incredibly lame 'Macaroni' joke....patter stinks.
There was a funny moment in the Rafael Marquez/Timmy Austin fight. Marquez was looking lackadaisical and Austin was starting to really take over the fight. As the 7th round ended Austin went back to his corner and his trainer, Aaron Snowell, comes into the ring and shouts over to the Marquez camp "It won't be long now! It won't be long now!".
Marquez stopped him in the next round.
