Muhammad could take a very good punch. He was slick, he could move, he could hit, make you miss, good hand speed and combinations and one of the greatest fighters of all time in my opinion. Larry Holmes
My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13. Shaun White

Only sixteen players have hit fifty or more homers in a season. To me, that's a very special milestone. Mark McGwire

She had a hit for every syllable: 'Don't. You. Ever. Talk. To. Me. Like. That. Ever. Again.' That was the last time I ever talked back to Mom. Misty May Treanor
Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while. Charles Barkley
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.' Mickey Mantle
