"I fought the best caliber fighters and I was successful doing it. The fight against Mayorga will not be different, I know he’s dangerous, but who wasn’t in my career."

First, my favorite Tyson quotes

“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”

"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

(to Razor Ruddock) "You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend."

"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."

"You have to understand, Frank Bruno would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. Oliver McCall would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. A lot of these guys would not have been champion. Michael Moorer would not have been champion. Those guys would not have been champion if I had been around. They would have had no legacy. None of those guys would have had a legacy."

"How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry. They're just as good as dead."

[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

"I'm on the Zoloft [an antidepressant] to keep from killing y'all."

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

"I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. So every now and then I kick your f**king ass."

"I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian."

i dont remember it exactly but b-hop said that larry merchant was like an old dennis the menace.

or roy jones said

" when i beat bernard hopkins and won the ibf the right was hurt beat him with left" from yall must have forgot

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

:) Sharp. :)

when macho camacho jr was on his ascend, he was asked by HOB way back in the day about the champions in the 140lb division and described zab as the "BET champion" it was hillarious when i read it.

"He just sat there like a sack of sand." VK

It would have been hilarious if Tyson had gotten mauled at a zoo by a gorilla. That would have gone down as the funniest sports story in history.

LOL the mike tyson quotes r da ****.

"He just sat there like a sack of sand." VK
lol :D who did he say that about?

its hard to beat that one where he's talking to the female anchor about how he only intends to fornicate with women, it was quite an awkward situation...and of course that rampage after the lou savarese fight

lol :D who did he say that about?

Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson quotes are the funniest...


There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right."

[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard."

Prime Tyson was a threat to any HW... the 86 Tyson was too fast and powerful.

Tyson off now does'nt have the heart or hunger in the sport of boxing...

"Toney weeks steps in, and the fight... is...ova!!!!!!" -showtime announcer guy

anything Tyson says...

“Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.”

"My power is discombobulatingly devastating I could feel is muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm."

"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him."

"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children."

"Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die!"

"He was screaming like my wife."

"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."

"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off."

"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard." LOL

"When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it."

"There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right."

"I think the average person thinks I'm a f**king nut and I deserve whatever happens to me. That's what I believe."

"I try to catch him right on the tip of the nose, because I try to push the bone into the brain."

"I just want to conquer people and their souls."

" To see a man beaten not by a better opponent but by himself is a tragedy."

"People who are born round don't die square."

"Dont worry about being scared going into a fight. Its when you aint scared thats the time to worry. Fear is the friend of every good and reasonable athlete."

"When two men step into the ring, one and only one deserves to win. When you step into the ring, you gotta know you deserve to win. You gotta know destiny owes you victory cos you trained harder than your opponent. You sparred harder. You ran farther."

"You dont get hit, you dont lose. Its as simple as that. Once you learn to stay low and tuck behind your gloves, in constant motion, no one is gonna be able to land nothing."

"Lies and deceit. Subterfuge. Thats what we deal in. Dont ever let anyone know your real intentions. Champion fighters, champion liars. Best in the world."

all from the late great cus d'amato

"Roy Jones can beat the crap out of my head all he likes, but I'm not letting Mike McCallum snatch my body!" - Nigel Benn

Vinny Pazienza explaining why he lost to Roy Jones, Jr. and his habitual, caffein-induced fighting frenzy:

"I was getting ready to go at 9:"30. I was in the back drinking capuccino at 8. By 9:30 I was jacked up. I was sweating; I felt great. Then, 10:30 came...11:30, then, 12:30. We finally fought and I was already crashing hard.... When you crash from caffein, that's it. You're done."

Boxing journalist Jeff Ryan, writing in The Ring, in reaction to the above explanation of Pazman:

Paz...has an excuse for every loss, the nuttiest being he was drinking capuccino hours before being dismantled by Roy Jones, Jr., and when he wasn't summoned to the ring until much later than he had anticipated, he came crashing down from his caffein high. At least, Pac gets high marks for creativity. I've heard fighters blame defeats on Capuccino before, but they're usually talking about Frank, the referee."

Heavyweight unknown Tim Puller, before his second round kayo loss to Lou Savarese:

"I think I'm good for boxing. There aren't too many fighters out there who can put a sentence together."

Promoter Bob Arum on the Ray Mercer-Jesse Ferguson rematch (the bout was announced at the country courthouse in Newark, New Jersey):

"This is the first time in history that a defendant will be legally empowered to give a beating to the witness against him."

Talk show host Jim Kimmel, introducing Don King:

"Let's get ready to ramble!!!"

George Foreman commentating on the Roy Jones- John Ruiz fight (first round):

"This night, the referee is the most important man in the ring, other than the fighters."

Ring announcer Carlos Silva introducing Javier "Suzuki" Diaz in Houston, Texas:

"Out of the red corner, wearing blue trunks with white lettering, weighing in at a trim 121 pounds, all the way from Piedras Negras, Mexico, with a sparkling record of 44 wins, only 37 losses, and three draws...."

Classic ****.

Ricardo Mayorga speaking before the Vernon Forrest rematch

"I'm really going to punish him now. He disrespected me. Father's day just pass and he didn't send me a card."

and once again more Tyson...


"I really dig Hannibal. Hannibal had real guts. He rode elephants into Cartilage."

"I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian."

"I like the British bikes. I like British people. They're real mellow."

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

"I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. So every now and then I kick your f**king ass."

tyson is the ****, we will never see another boxer like him he was one of a kind.
