Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson: Without discipline, no matter how good you are, you are nothing! One day, and I might not be around; you're going to meet a tough guy who takes your best shot. He'll keep coming because he's tough. Don't get discouraged. That's when the discipline comes in.

Mike Tyson: I think the average person thinks I'm a fucking nut and I deserve whatever happens to me. That's what I believe.

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 (On his childhood): 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 an infantile retard.

Mike Tyson (About Lennox Lewis): I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.

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 (On his mother who died in 1982): I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: She only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn't pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally.

Mike Tyson (To a reporter): You're not man enough to fuck with me! You can't last two minutes in my world, bitch! Look at you scared now, you hoe. Scared like a little white pussy. Scared of the real man. I'll fuck you 'til you love me, faggot!

Mike Tyson: I love to hit people. I love to. Most celebrities are afraid someone's going to attack them. I want someone to attack me. No weapons. Just me and him. I like to beat men and beat them bad.

Mike Tyson: I don't know if I'm mentally sick, but I have... episodes sometimes. I'm a depressant kind of dude. I have episodes, and I'm human. But no one cares about my health as a human because sometimes I'm in my episodes when I'm at work.

Mike Tyson (On What looks to be the end of his career after loosing to Kevin McBride): I'm sorry I let everybody down, I'm fighting just to pay my bills. I don't have the stomach for this anymore... I don't have the desire for it. I feel bad for the people... I wish they could get their money back.

Mike Tyson: Every fighter's got a plan until they get hit in the mouth.

Mike Tyson: I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and most vicious and most ruthless champion there's ever been. There's no-one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No. I'm Alexander, he's no Alexander. I'm the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey, there's no one like me - I'm from their cloth. There's no one that can match me. 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!

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

Mike Tyson: I don't have the stomach for this anymore, I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighters.

Mike Tyson (May 1, 2002, press conference): I wish that you guys had children so I could kick them in the Fucking head or stomp on their testicles so you could feel my pain because that's the pain I have waking up every day.

Mike Tyson (Feb, 1986): I try to catch them right on the tip of his nose because I try to punch the bone into the brain.

Mike Tyson: I'm on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y'all.
