My mother was watching on television and she doesn’t want me to hurt anyone.

That’s my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back. If it’s not positive, I didn’t hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.

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.

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

Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.

I am a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

I don’t even think about a retirement program because I’m working for the Lord, for the Almighty. And even thought the Lord’s pay isn’t very high, his retirement program is, you might say, out of this world.

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

They’ll take everything, even your tears.

I want to keep fighting because it is the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don’t fight, I’ll eat this planet.

A hero is someone right who doesn’t change.

Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.

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

The Internal Revenue Service is the real undefeated heavyweight champion.

The question isn’t at what age I want to retire, it’s at what income.

Put your name on something, it better be the best… you only get one shot.

When I was a kid in Houston, we were so poor we couldn’t afford the last 2 letters, so we called ourselves po’.

Generally when there’s a lot of smoke… there’s just a whole lot more smoke.

I’m a winner each and every time I go into the ring.

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