Quotes about big punchers

Some quotes about big punchers:
Earnie Shavers hit me, man, and knocked me face down on the canvas. I was in the land of make believe. I heard saxophones, trombones. I saw little blue rats, and they were all smoking cigars and drinking whisky. James Tillis
Jack Dempsey hits like an epileptic pile-driver. Harry Witwert
Larry Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Earnie Shavers. Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him. Tex Cobb
On being hit by Joe Louis - It's like someone jammed an electric light bulb in your face, and busted it. I thought half my head was blowed off... When he knocked me down I could have stayed there for three weeks. James Braddock
Rocky Marciano didn't know enough boxing to know what a feint was. He never tried to out-guess you. He just kept trying to knock your brains out. Archie Moore
