Mike Tyson

Mr. Arthur Ashe, he was good. I read some of his books. He knew about everything, but he was real quiet and didn't talk much. I never met him.

If he's not dead, it doesn't count.
Mike Tyson
I'm a nut case, but that is what I believe.
Mike Tyson
I'll fight anybody my trainer puts me in with because I'm confident I can beat any fighter in the world. If anybody can see I'm almost a master at evading punches coming at me.
Mike Tyson
[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything.
Mike Tyson
Treat the world the way you want to be treated.
