Others. Correct
For your Q, I'll guess that Petrosian said it about Fischer.
Edit: and a quick consult with Mr. Google reveals that I am hopelessly wrong, hahaha.

Botvinnnik on Kaprov.
Janowski on the young Reshesky is good. Mid game Janowski said to Ed Lasker.
"He knows as much about chess as I do about rope dancing?"
Janowski chucked his win and lost.
5. "To you, Herr Lasker, I have only three words to say: Check and mate!"
That was Tarrasch.
6. "I can see Alekhine's combinations. I just don't know how he gets the positions to make them!"
That was Rudolph Spielmann
