When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him.
MIKE TYSON, Sports Illustrated, Mar. 1988
Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind. He sometimes goes insane, he sometimes goes on the bottle, because it's an intensive pressure sport that allows people to just lose it.
MIKE TYSON, Boxing Monthly, Aug. 2000
Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
MIKE TYSON, Sports Illustrated, Mar. 1988
If they lock me up, at least I'll have a place to stay.
MIKE TYSON, "Tyson's love for the fight game turns to disgust", ESPN, June 11, 2005
Champions don't quit.
