Jack Dempsey Quotations

Honey, I just forgot to duck.

I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.

Tell him he can have my title, but I want it back in the morning.

A champion owes everybody something. He can never pay back for all the help he got, for making him an idol.

Nailing him was like trying to thread a needle in a high wind.

A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.

I never went to bed in my life and I never ate a meal in my life without saying a prayer. I know my prayers have been answered thousands of times, and I know that I never said a prayer in my life without something good coming of it.

When you're fighting, you're righting for one thing - money.

I can't sing and I can't dance, but I can lick any S.O.B. in the house.

The best defense is a good offense.
