More quotes by George Foreman
Its very important that people know that I really enjoy everything that has happened to me. And I tell my kids... youre not going to be the tallest, fastest, prettiest, the best track runner, but you can be the nicest human being that someone has ever met in their life. And I just want to leave that legacy that being nice is a true treasure.
George Foreman
Sometimes God gives instructions that go against conventional wisdom, such as treating people kindly when they're hateful. Who really wants to do that? Instructions like that may not always make sense, so that's why I need to trust and obey the One who inspired them.
George Foreman
Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to they always have to go that extra mile.

In boxing, I had a lot of fear. Fear was good. But, for the first time, in the bout with Muhammad Ali, I didn't have any fear. I thought, This is easy. This is what I've been waiting for. No fear at all. No nervousness. And I lost.
George Foreman
I respect that you want to protect your niece. You know, I didn't want my daughter to become a boxer. Neither did Mohammad. But Joe Frazier, on the other hand, he had his baby girl boxing in the crib.
George Foreman
We, too, need to be patient, especially when it comes to reaching new goals.
George Foreman
There's never been a boxer better than Joe Louis. You'd take one shot from him and you were sure he'd have seven or eight more coming for you. Certainly Muhammad Ali was the greatest man ever to fight, but not the greatest boxer.
George Foreman
There ain't nothing like being in the corner, and the trainer is whispering in your ear and another guy is putting in your mouthpiece. Five seconds to go, the boom! The bell. It's more exciting than looking down a cliff.
George Foreman
Klitschko has had a good career. A lot of his fights have been out of the country as though he hasn't even been invited into the real heavyweight picture in the United States. He's a good fighter. You can't talk about him unless you can beat him and it doesn't seem that there's anyone around who can truly beat him.
George Foreman
Boxing is the sport to which all other sports aspire.
George Foreman
All my sons are named George Foreman. They all know where they came from.
George Foreman
One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.
George Foreman
You live and learn. Then you die and forget it all.
George Foreman
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
George Foreman
I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.
George Foreman
Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school.
