George Foreman
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.
George Foreman
There's never been a great fight without the writers taking on and finding an identity for it. That's probably what has happened boxing. Writers are not writing about us big boys anymore and I tell you right, however you feel, take something, find it, and use it because American needs something to read about.
George Foreman
If you can look in your mother's eyes and she's proud of you, then you're a champion.
George Foreman
The Rope a Dope would not have existed without the Big Dope.
George Foreman
