booing boxing change crowd gonna judging lived opposite saying side since
I've been on the opposite side of decisions before when the crowd would be booing and saying that I lost. I've lived with it. Judging in boxing has been same since the beginning, and it isn't gonna change.
human realize
I never get upset about what I read in the newspaper. I realize that every human being can make a difference in this world.
kids
I teach kids that want to be tough that their fists are not the way.
fighters fitness life sons time
I tell my sons all the time, 'The most important thing in your life is fitness,' but a lot of fighters go overboard.
dollars million
If you learn to sell, it's worth more than a degree. It's worth more than the heavyweight championship of the world. It's even more important than having a million dollars in the bank. Learn to sell, and you'll never starve.
coming love pulled sports
I love the UFC. I love it. If they had had that back when I was coming up, in 1966, it would have been my sport. Man, I love it. And you know what? Nobody would have pulled the rope-a-dope on me.
downfall floyd george
We all think we've got one more boxing match in us, and that, probably, will be the downfall of Floyd Mayweather, George Foreman, Manny Pacquiao. We'll overstay our welcome.

Just take one step at a time, trusting that God still has a plan for you, and He will make the best out of your situation.

The fighters who give it all will be around for next year. Give it all you've got. Don't save anything.

Preaching is the most original thing I've ever done. There's nothing familiar about it. You have to be brave.

When you speak to a lot of kids, as I've done over the years, you know what to say, keep them laughing, good illustrations and learn to read.
anger beat boxing center human instinct kids learn pursue sports tear
I started a youth center in Houston. The kids would come in and want to learn to box; they wanted to tear up the world, beat up the world. And I'd try to show them they didn't need anger. They didn't need all that killing instinct they'd read about. You can be a human being and pursue boxing as a sport.
break gets night puts strength
I got a strength coach. My wife. She gets big chains, and at night she puts them around the refrigerator. They are so strong, I can't break them.
edward george hit joe ken named
I named all my sons George Edward Foreman. And I tell people, 'If you're going to get hit as many times as I've been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield - you're not going to remember many names.'
