George Foreman

George Foreman
I want to keep fighting because it's the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet.
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
As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store.
George Foreman
If you want it, leave your excuses behind and come and get it
George Foreman
They say I don't fight guys unless they're on a respirator. That's incorrect. They have to be at least 3 days off a respirator.
George Foreman

George Foreman
A hero is someone right who doesn't change.
George Foreman
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
Before a fight between Riddick Bowe and Hector Gonzales: Generally when there's a lot of smoke . . . there's just a whole lot more smoke.
