More quotes by Evander Holyfield
Odds are just the people opinion. Respect your own opinion.
Evander Holyfield
I lost my first fight at the Boys Club at 11 years old and quit the team. My mother told me I had to go back because she didn't raise no quitter. I lost a second fight and quit again and still my mother wouldn't let me. She made me go back and try again.
Evander Holyfield
The game's been good to me and I hope I've been good to the game. I'm 50 years old and I've pretty much did everything that I wanted to do in boxing.
Evander Holyfield
If you quit every time things don't go your way, then you'll be quitting all through your life.

Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image. You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. Reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously.
Evander Holyfield
I beat Larry Holmes and George Foreman. I whupped Mike Tyson twice. I had my ear chewed off and spat on the ground in front of me. I've seen everything it is possible to see in boxing. I know this business better than anyone. So I live and die by my own decisions.

He listens to his trainer real good. He just doesn't listen to me. I still can't get him to do nothing.
Evander Holyfield
Pressure bursts pipes. I thank God for giving me peace of mind to overcome pressure. The difference between winning and losing is when pressure hits.

That's the biggest problem with boxing in the United States. They do not promote it like they used to, when it used to be Howard Cosell and they showed it on 'Wide World of Sports.' Everybody knew all the fighters. Everybody was looking forward to the year when the Olympics came on.
Evander Holyfield
The most important thing about being a father is being able to forgive yourself. If you don't forgive yourself, you're not going to forgive your kids, either.
Evander Holyfield
No. I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.
Evander Holyfield
Everyone has freedom to say whatever they want to say. I think it takes a stronger person to hold their tongue as opposed to speaking out.
Evander Holyfield
Madison Square Garden, November 1984. I don't recall taking too much fear into the ring. I knew I could fight. But I got a big shock. They put me in with this rough, tough veteran called Lionel Byarm. He tested me to the limit. But I fought my heart out and, in the end, I prevailed. The story of my life, in my very first fight.

Sugar leaves you stranded I make sure I have the proper amount of protein before I work out.
Evander Holyfield
A champion shows who he is by what he does.
Evander Holyfield
There are a lot of times I have seen someone fight, and I think the guy is tailor made for me until they actually get in the ring with me. Fighters that are more aggressive match up better with me. There is really no defense when a guy is trying to get you. When a guy is trying to get you, you cannot get him, which makes the most compelling fight.
Evander Holyfield
Stay on your toes and always move forward.
Evander Holyfield
When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions.
Evander Holyfield
I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. The majority of boxers go to get that edge.
Evander Holyfield
We lived in a real rough place but my mother kept me straight.
