graduation school sleep
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.
fighting justice hector
Before a fight between Riddick Bowe and Hector Gonzales: Generally when there's a lot of smoke . . . there's just a whole lot more smoke.
dog work-out opponents
After you work out, you have your dog with you. There's no better companion. You've got to have a friend. I didn't like opponents who had dogs with them. Because you know they had a little edge. They have a friend
attitude needs good-business
Filling a need is not merely good business; it's a basic attitude towards life. If you see a need, do whatever you can to meet that need.
memories past two
It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later.
careers doubt saws
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!
skulls boxing brain
That gal's all skull and no brains. She's like Joe Frazier with lipstick.
mirrors rivers miracle
George Foreman. A miracle. A mystery to myself. Who am I? The mirror says back. The George you was always meant to be. Wasn't always like that. Used to look in the mirror and cried a river.
boxing age given
I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you've got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.
basketball team school
My whole family likes to play basketball. George II plays for his high school team and George III and George IV and George V are going to be good players. One day we're going to have a team and call it Georgetown.
running dog careers
As a matter of fact, there was a period of time, especially in my first career, when that's the only one who would work out with me: my dogs. As you get better and better working out, there's no one who can keep up with you running.
fighting remember
I cannot remember a time when I was not getting into fights.
opportunity pay serving-god
Don't let any opportunity lead you away from serving God. That's a price that's too high to pay.
sports umpires important
The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.
