More quotes by George Foreman
Evil lurks where disappointment lodges.
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
Today the biggest decisions I make aren't related to the heavyweight title. They are whether I visit McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, or Jack-in-the-Box.
George Foreman
You have to keep your goal in mind and never lose sight of it. I envisioned myself winning the heavyweight title for ten years before I actually captured it. If you're not driven to do your best, you'll never reach the level of excellence in your life.
George Foreman
It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later.
George Foreman
No doubt about it, in my career Ron Lyle hit me the hardest. One time he hit me so hard I didn't see it until I saw it on film when I woke up!
George Foreman
People trust me. I sell sincerity.
George Foreman
Many people fail not so much because of their mistakes they fail because they are afraid to try.
George Foreman
A hero is someone right who doesn't change.
George Foreman
Sure the fight was fixed. I fixed it with a right hand.
George Foreman
The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.
George Foreman
Anytime I can sneak in a moment to fish and ride horses, I'm a happy camper!
George Foreman
All I've ever tried to tell anyone is that I'm not a black man or a white man or anything else. All I've ever been was an American.
George Foreman
All my sons are named George Foreman. They all know where they came from.
George Foreman
Boxing is the sport to which all other sports aspire.
George Foreman
I hit Ali with everything and he said 'is that all you got' and I said 'yeah, that's pretty much it.'
George Foreman
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.
George Foreman
If I could take a punch like that, I might have been able to think up a name besides George for all my sons.
George Foreman
Growing up poor, I didn't even have a lunch to take to school.
George Foreman
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.
