I am America. I am the part you won`t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.

Mike Tyson
I always ask myself why old heavyweights come back, but I plan to stay out of the ring. I`ve got a new life now, a new future, there`s a lot more to Lennox Lewis than just being a boxer. I am very sure about my decision.

I won a gold medal representing the USA at the olympic games in 1960, but when I came home I still got treated like a nigger. There were restaurants I couldn`t get served in. Some people kept calling me `boy`.
Muhammad Ali
I`m gonna float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, George can`t hit what his eyes can`t see, now you see me, now you don`t, he thinks he will but I know he won`t.
Muhammad Ali
When I was in prison, I was wrapped up in all those deep books - that Tolstoy crap. People shouldn`t read that stuff. When we read those books, what purpose does it serve in this day and time?
Mike Tyson
My career has been over since 1990, he said. "When I look at my fans, they don`t love me. They love what I do. I`m an entertainer. I`m a performer. I entertain them. That`s what I do."
