Mike Tyson

Everybody's got plans...until they get hit.

I am not a role model.

I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah!

I haven't been with a woman in nine months.

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

This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime.

I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.

They (Christians) would throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.

Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.

All praise is to Allah, I'll fight any man, any animal, if Jesus were here I'd fight him too.
