James Toney: “I've been called every name in the book, from genius to has-been. I fought through weight issues, legal troubles, and people saying I was done. But I kept showing up, kept proving them wrong. My career's like a roller coaster, but I enjoyed every ride, especially the comebacks."

Roy Jones Jr: “I went from being untouchable, the best, to a series of losses that made people question everything about me. But I knew my gifts were still there; they were just under layers of doubt, age, and wear. My comeback wasn't just about proving to the world I could still box; it was about proving to myself I could still be Roy Jones Jr."

Some say Jones tarnished his legacy with his many comebacks, I believe he will always remain as one of the sports most electrifying, entertaining pioneers.

What classless trash is this.

KSI just said “I want a big name,” setting up his next fight.. which looks to be ex-footballer 44-year-old Wayne Bridge..

KSI and Bridge came face to face with KSI bringing up Wayne’s ex Vanessa saying “aren’t you the one who let John Terry smash your ex,” then started chanting “Vanessa.. Vanessa..”

Do you remember when KSI used to be funny..

Zero class in this level of ‘boxing.’

Miguel Cotto: “My fight with Antonio Margarito was one of the hardest days of my life, not just because of the defeat but because of the controversy surrounding the wraps. But I came back. I fought Floyd Mayweather, Canelo Alvarez, and won titles again. That's not just about boxing; it's about life teaching you that you can rise above the darkest moments."

Warrior.

Deontay Wilder: “I've been through a lot, from doubting myself to being doubted by the world. Losing those titles was hard, but I'm a warrior. I've come back from the edge before. My story isn't finished; it's about showing that you can get back up, no matter how hard you've been hit. That's the spirit of a true fighter."

Sergio Martínez: “I was homeless, living in a car in Spain before I made it as a boxer. People remember the KO losses, the injuries, but they forget the journey. When I beat Paul Williams, after being knocked down, that wasn't just a win; it was a testament to surviving, to coming back from where no one expected you to return."

Andre Ward: "I've been through the fire. From the streets of Oakland to Olympic gold, to being criticized for my fight choices, to personal battles. But every challenge was a lesson. I retired on my terms, undefeated, and now I'm helping others find their way. That's the real win."

In my opinion, Andre Ward isn’t spoken about enough. He was the undisputed light heavyweight champion, won an Olympic gold medal and retired undefeated with a record of 32-0.

Vitali Klitschko: “After my brother Wladimir's loss to Lamon Brewster, I felt the weight of our family name, our country's hopes on my shoulders. I fought through injuries, surgeries, and the naysayers who said I was too old. My comeback and my fight against Lennox Lewis, where I showed I could go the distance even with an injury, that was my statement. It's not just about winning; it's about enduring."

Ricky Hatton: "I've had my struggles with depression and alcohol, and boxing was my escape, but it was also my downfall at times. But coming back, fighting again, and beating it all, winning that battle outside the ring, that's my greatest victory."

Lennox Lewis: “I was called the old man of boxing, but I kept proving them wrong. When Hasim Rahman knocked me out, everyone thought I was finished. That loss was a low point, but it fueled me to come back stronger, to unify the titles again. It taught me resilience."

Lewis's comeback from that shocking defeat to reclaim his titles is a narrative of overcoming doubt and proving one's worth, embodying the spirit of an underdog story.

Canelo: “I've been booed, doubted, and fought through injuries. People questioned my heart after the first Golovkin fight. But I kept going, I adapted, and I proved myself. Boxing gave me everything, and I respect it by giving everything back."

Tyson Fury: “I've been to the darkest places you can imagine, and I know what it's like to want to throw it all away.

“Boxing can be as much about surviving outside the ring as it is inside."

Evander Holyfield spoke about the inner qualities of a champion: "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision."

Roy Jones Jr on the corruption in boxing: "The sport is dirty. There's a lot of politics, a lot of people making decisions that aren't about who's the best fighter. Money talks in boxing, and it often talks louder than the bell.”
