Quotes By Angelo Dundee "It will be like cutting the hair off a Goliath," "It's been like that forever. We got spoiled by Joe Louis, by Rocky Marciano. Muhammad ruined us for everybody. "He was great outside the ring; he was great inside. We got so accustomed to it we thought we deserved it." "Assumption is the mother of the screw-up" " Both guys ran out of gas, only my guy had an extra tank." "In all my years in boxing I'd never known such heat" "I think I would have to go so far as to say Russell is Jim Braddock. I'm amazed the way
Russell picked up his mannerisms, his smoothness, the legs, the way he slides, that slip, slide,
block, slide, jab - boom! Like Jim, he has just about the greatest left hook I've ever seen. He's
got the speed, the rhythm, the determination and especially the will. Best of all, he has learned to
think like a fighter. One thing about Braddock is that he was a smart fighter, and Russell uses his
noodle just like Braddock did. I do think if he wasn't an actor, Russell could have been a great
fighter." "Right now, there's nobody out there to turn people on, ... This is the disease of Muhammad
Ali ... With Muhammad, every time he did something, it was excitement. It's excitement now,
when the guy comes around, walking around with Parkinson's. It's unfair to try to compare
anybody to this kid.” "This kid deserves anything good that happens to him. He's such a good guy. He's just the
nicest human being you want to meet." "You're blowing it, son! You're blowing it!" "Suck it up Champ they gave the last round to Ernie" "I just put the reflexes in the proper direction." "He would have beat everybody because we'd have found a way to beat him." "My kid could move like a lightweight," " You take what the guy gives
you. If there's nothin' there, you handle it. No problem." " Muhammad aware of what to look for and he handled it on his own. He did his own
thing. I never programmed him. " "Trainers give of themselves. So, I learned and I projected it with my fighter." "I loved the movie for the simple reason that I saw the
scenes and I saw Muhammad working with these guys." "What's his name? I tried to
forget him because if he would have fought like he worked with my guy he would have knocked
the guy out." "You're talkin' legit here." "I never knew about a lot of the outside things," "When she would walk, it was like
rhythm. The guys' heads would bounce, but I wouldn't look because I was married." "Any fighter didn't like Muhammad Ali should have his head examined." |
