Cant remember who said it but it went:
"God puts everyone here for a reason.
He put Maradonna here to score beautiful goals.
He put Picasso here to paint beautiful pictures,
And he put Nigel Benn here to beat the shit outta people.
He said this in an old interview.
Many mens have fell and stumbled when they meet big George in that square jungle. George Foreman

Joe Frazier, talking to Ken Norton at a social gathering. Frazier: "Hey man, what you been doing?"; Norton: "My wife just had a baby."; Frazier: "Congratulations! Whose baby is it?"
“I'm not God - but I am something similar.”

"I wish some of you guys had f*cking kids so I could stomp on their testicles and kick them in their fucking heads so that you could feel my pain."
-Mike Tyson talking to interviewers.
"If I fought Evander with a baseball bat, I would win the fight, but it would be by decision."
-Taft Corbett, on Evander Holyfield's chin
"No, I wasn't holding and hitting, I was just keeping his head in one place while I hit him with the other"-Lennox Lewis commenting on his holding Michael Grant whilst he hit him.
Any of Mike Tyson's cheastnuts are definetly worth a mention in any discussion about boxer's quotes.
On reflection, he really was the baddest man on the planet at his peak
"If you feel like you can whoop me why dont you whoop me with the gloves on ?"
Evander Hollyfield on Tyson ,refering to him trying to fight after it was over. I dont remember if it was the first or second ear bitting fight though.
I should have made some bets on the first one . It was the first time I went against everybody else saying Evander would out box Tyson easy. I had no idea he would stop Tyson though. That was just an added bonus.
I wonder what the odds would have been on betting tyson would bite Evanders ear off ;D
Yup, this is pretty much my favorite.Quote:

"After I knock you out Oscar, I look forward to drinking the warm milk from your wife breast"
"I will knock out Forrest in two rounds whether I have a cigarette or not. I know a lot of people want to see me fight more rounds. So, if HBO wants, they can pick two sparring partners for me to fight after I knock out Forrest. That way, the audience can see me fight 12 rounds"
"i invite everyone to come out and see 2 great rounds of boxing"
"When we were doing the HBO shoot, I remember him saying that he was going to take the belt away from me,...I go, ‘The only way you're going to take this belt away from me is if you let me have your wife for a night and I'll let you have the belt for a hour. "
"Spinks, you are a faggot, I want to sew a pair of nuts on you so you can stand and fight in front of me next time like a man."
I hated Mayorga and Vargas for exactly those reasons, they took it way too far.
And people accuse me of being mean to talk up a fightQuote:
