Boxing Quotation "No More"

So, random question:
There's a Snapple commercial going around that ends with the word "namaste", which I thought I remembered in a story my dad told me about a boxer surrendering to Joe Louis or Muhammad Ali or some other famous boxer. I googled it and it turns out it's just the Sanskrit version of "aloha", i.e. a greeting or goodbye. So what the heck is the original quotation that the boxer says? I thought it was something along the lines of "no more", i.e. he is asked if he wants to throw in the towel and only replies "no more"
EDIT: Found it, please lock. The quote is "no mas", in a fight with Sugar Ray Leonard.

The actual quote is "No quiero pelear con el payaso." (Meaning "I do not want to fight with this clown.")
He claims it was different, but i think he is full of BS. I'd take the refs account over someone who got punched in the head for 30 years.
