Wade Barrett Quotes

Boxing, in the most general terms, is a poor man's sport. All you have is your hands to make a living.

I like to have fun in the ring, but I knock them out.

If you want street fight, let's go. If you want boxing, I show you. But people think I am, like, gangster. No. Ring is different world. Very dangerous.

We got four-ounce gloves here. It's not hard to knock someone out.

I never fought in my life outside of a ring.

Boxing brings out my aggressive instinct, not necessarily a killer instinct.

Mother's father and brothers all took great interest in pugilism, and they knew the game well from much practice of their own. They were never so much delighted as when I visited them with a black eye or a bloody nose, at which time they would be at the trouble to give cunning points as to how to meet an opponent according to his weight and height.

I fight with good strikers every day.

When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that - it was a heavenly sound to me.

Ground and pound is my thing, everyone knows that.

The physicality of boxing is like nothing else.

I love fighting. I love what I do.

I love what I do. I love the competition of fighting. And I love to wrestle.

I've knocked out a lot of my opponents.

Boxing is a noble sport.

I remembered watching the first UFC. You couldn't get it on TV. They were doing it bare knuckles. No gloves. I wanted to do that.

I have a love for boxing.

There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh, no matter who delivers or receives.

I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I kick people in the face for a living. So, if that’s something you’re into — if you like watching people get kicked in the face — come see me. I’ll probably be your favorite wrestler.

I don't shoot guns. I don't know how to do that. I grew Upstate New York, so I fought with my fists.

Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us.

If you had no real training, if you hadn't spent years and years studying a martial art, how would you kill the bad guy?

I do mixed martial arts, mainly kickboxing.

In the early 2000s, I was introduced to the noble art of kickboxing, it thrilled me, and I loved it. I loved the honour and the discipline, and I also loved the punching.
