These guys from the nation's capital - now they do a lot of thinking. Referring to boxers from D.C., not politicians.

As long as I'm reading, I'm at home.

The world is full of people who want to play it safe, people who have tremendous potential but never use it. Somewhere deep inside them, they know that they could do more in life, be more, and have more -- if only they were willing to take a few risks.

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

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
Image
I hit Ali with everything and he said 'is that all you got' and I said 'yeah, that's pretty much it.'
George Foreman
Image
When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.
George Foreman

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.
George Foreman

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.
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

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.

I always carried a small American flag red white and blue with me so people would know I was from America.
