“I’ve seen George Foreman shadow boxing and the shadow won.”

There’s more to boxing than hitting. There’s not getting hit, for instance.

The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.

Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand.

You never help others by allowing them to getaway with giving less than their best efforts.

Boxing is the sport to which all other sports aspire.

The age of 40 is not a death sentence.

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.

As an entrepreneur, don’t follow the crowd; let them follow you.

Don’t let any opportunity lead you away from serving God. That’s a price that’s too high to pay.

I think sleeping was my problem in school. If school had started at 4:00 in the afternoon, I’d be a college graduate today.

All the dogs I have are German shepherds from Germany, and I fly them back to Germany to show them.

As long as I’m reading, I’m at home.

No doubt about it, in my career Ron Lyle hit me the hardest. One time he hit me so hard I didn’t see it until I saw it on film when I woke up!

I’m just going to punch him and do my best. If the knockout comes, it comes.

As a fan, I like watching fighters rather than boxers.

I never compare myself to anybody. I don’t look at my accomplishments compared to anyone. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished in boxing.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder.

In boxing, you never know who you’re going to face in the ring.

I just want to make money, get on with my life, and be involved in good fights. If I’m not going to be involved in good fights, then what’s the point being a boxer?

Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I’m not treating my opponent like my enemy. We’re doing a job to entertain people.
