More quotes by Mike Tyson
There's nothing like confidence.
Mike Tyson
You can't be everybody's friend, you can't save the world, I learned this word: self-preservation. Once you do that, you can be friends with people, but how would you be a friend to anybody if you're not a friend to yourself.
Mike Tyson
I'm scared every time I go into the ring, but it's how you handle it. What you have to do is plant your feet, bite down on your mouthpiece and say, 'Let's go.'
Mike Tyson
Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.
Mike Tyson
I fight for perfection
Mike Tyson
I'm the best fighter in the world. No one can beat me....My objective is to inflict as much pain as possible, to win and win spectacularly...Ever since I was 12 years old, I was groomed to be the heavyweight champion of the world. I've been prepared to handle the pressure, the dealing with the press, everything.
Mike Tyson
I had to persevere because this was my life. This championship, this was the stuff I dreamt of all my life, and I wasn't gonna be denied.
Mike Tyson
Hard times fall upon everybody. Whatever it is, we're going to get out of it.
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
Every great general and warrior from the beginning of time was high.
Mike Tyson
It's unnatural to fight somebody who has nothing against you and never did anything to you or to your family, who never stole anything from you. And now you've got to go and try to dismantle this guy.
Mike Tyson
Common sense is so very simple but very difficult to grasp.
Mike Tyson
I'm gonna make sure you talk about me, and your grandkids and kids after that gonna know about me...your great grandkids will say wow, wasn't that a bizarre individual?
Mike Tyson
I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I'll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.
Mike Tyson
I never wanted to do anything else but fight, when I was a kid. I never had any broader perspective of my own perspective. I didn't know anything about anything else. I just wanted to fight until I could fight no more, and then I wanted to own a bar and drink and tell war stories.
Mike Tyson
At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see.
Mike Tyson
My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.
Mike Tyson
I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.
Mike Tyson
My power is discombobulatingly devastating.
Mike Tyson
When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.
Mike Tyson
