Quotes8

  • [Willis tells Toro to throw his fight with Buddy Brannen to avoid getting hurt]
  • Toro Moreno: I don't know, I don't know. What would people think of me?
  • Eddie Willis: What do you care what a bunch of bloodthirsty, screaming people think of you? Did you ever get a look at their faces? They pay a few lousy bucks hoping to see a man get killed. To hell with them! Think of yourself. Get your money and get out of this rotten business.
  • Eddie Willis: Money's not evil in and of itself. The purpose for which it's used is the determining factor.
  • First Reporter: Can he box?
  • Eddie Willis: No Gene Tunney.
  • Second Reporter: Can he punch?
  • Eddie Willis: Not like Jack Dempsey.
  • Third Reporter: Well, what's he got besides just being big?
  • Eddie Willis: He's got an iron jaw and a cast-iron stomach. Not a man alive can hurt him.
  • Reporter: What gives, Eddie? I looked up Toro in the book. There's no record of him in South America.
  • Eddie Willis: He knocked out thirty-eight guys in a row. None of them went over three rounds. You believe that one and I'll tell you another.
  • Eddie Willis: I didn't come here to work out!
  • Eddie Willis: Why did he take that awful beating? Why didn't he fight like you told him to?
  • George: Some guys can sell out; some guys can't.
  • Eddie Willis: Powderpuff punch and a glass jaw... that's a great combination!
  • Eddie Willis: A man past his forties shouldn't have to run anymore.
